Morkast released their debut album "Deadlands" on 1/26/2019 via digital download @ https://morkast.bandcamp.com/
and will be landing on most major streaming services in the next week. Limited vinyl pressing will follow in the coming months so stay tuned!
Recorded and mixed by Brandon Perez and Joe Kelly (The Habor Divide), sound design by Nate Hamann and Mastered by Will Cleland (Evade the Eye)
Members Christopher Kohlenberg, Carson Bales, Alec Smith, Michael Espinosa and Nate Hamann combine their diverse tastes in music to produce a sound that pulls from many styles of extreme metal.
Deadlands is one part concept album, one part social commentary and one part cautionary tale. "The Traveler" concept itself has existed since the early days of the band. The amazing visual artistry of Jayson Cessna (Ex Forever Lost, Hammer Horde & Astralborne) has been a constant in the design of every aspect including the logo, shirt design and cover art.
"A young man's discovery in the basement of his eccentric uncle, a recently deceased inventor, scientist and recluse, thrusts him into the unknown. A machine of otherworldly design allows him to travel through dimensional space to witness the horrors that lie beyond the shroud of our reality. Planets with desolate landscapes, evil creatures and unfathomable mysteries await him. Will The Traveler survive?
