Codex Mortis unveils “Capricious Disembodied Villain,” the first single from the upcoming album, “Tales of Woe,” in collaboration with Black Lion Records. Accompanied by a lyric video, this release sets the stage for a sinister narrative of demonic possession and mind control.
With haunting artwork by Vladimir ‘Smerdulak’ Chebakov, “Tales of Woe” delves into the darkest corners of the human psyche, exploring themes of torment and transformation. The album is set to be released on June 21st.
Codex Mortis is a Dutch Black Death Metal band with explosive and hypnotic skull crushing music that will haunt you into the afterlife.
Incorporating the influences of the 90s, Codex Mortis crafts a sonic landscape characterized by ferocious speed and an abyssal depth, with each arrangement a relentless devouring sound.
Born in 2017, within the darkened heart of Amersfoort, The Netherlands, Codex Mortis embarked on its journey. Their inaugural full-length opus, “What Befalls of Tainted Souls,” materialized in April 2021 under the auspices of Vidar Records, marking a significant milestone in their sonic evolution.
Gazing into the future, the band stands on the precipice of a new era. The imminent arrival of their second album ‘Tales of Woe’, slated for release June 2024, under the banner of Black Lion Records in Sweden, foretells a continuation of their macabre saga.
As the ink of their musical pact dries, Codex Mortis prepares to once again beckon listeners into their realm, a shadowed dominion where the echoes of death and transcendence intertwine.
