Horror-aficionados HOUSE BY THE CEMETARY are rousing the undead once again with the sophomore album “The Mortuary Hauntings”!
With a tried-and-true formula of pummeling riffs and mid-paced Death Metal that throbs to herd a wall of zombies, Rogga Johansson (Paganizer, ex-Bone Gnawer, Massacre, etc) and Mike Hrubovcak (ex-Monstrosity, Azure Emote, ex-Vile, etc) cleverly disintegrate and reconstruct their love for Metal and old horror films; fortifying the two genres into an unwavering subculture hallmark but with a stylistic departure on their debut. “The Mortuary Hauntings” continues with the endearing worship of retro-Death Metal and the timeless devotion to cult horror-flicks.
Recorded by HOUSE BY THE CEMETARY with mixing duties shared between Ronnie Björnström at EAP Productions and Håkan Stuvemark at Necrotic Audio Productions with mastering also handled by Håkan Stuvemark. Evocative cover artwork by Columbian illustrator Felipe Mora (Critical Defiance, Consumption, Mortify, etc).
