Vocalist Somi Arian from London based metallers MORTAD has announced via the band’s official Facebook page that the release of their next album has been delayed:

“Hey Mortad monsters, Somi Arian here! Due to unforeseen circumstances to do with our management company and legal issues, the release of our new album has been delayed. Unfortunately we know as little as you do about the future of the album and the band..! In the meantime I have decided to pursue my career and creativity in filmmaking and possibly other musical endeavour! My other bandmates are also pursuing other creative means for the time being. As soon as we have news we will come back to you, until then keep on rocking…! \m/”

The band released a new track ‘Pitch Black’ in November 2014 after launching a successful Kickstarter campaign for the album.

MORTAD was formed in 2009 by Iranian vocalist Somi Arian , whose lyrics take aim at the hypocrisy of religion and the government as well as seeking inner truth and strength in the face of such oppression.

MORTAD‘s “Waste Of My Rage” video was sponsored by the Alchemy apparel clothing brand and produced by the Manchester-based video production company Video Ink. More than a dozen actors were cast for the clip, including Collette Von Tora, who agreed to have her head shaved for this video shoot.
