Grand Morbid Funeral is the title that has been given to Bloodbath’s forthcoming effort. The Swedish death metallers have also stated that they will be announcing their new singer’s identity this coming Tuesday, September 16th. The vocalist will be replacing Opeth’s Mikael Åkerfeldt, who left the death metal group in 2012.
Regarding the new album guitarist Anders “Blakkheim” Nystrom said:
“We’re proud of all these different styled releases and we loved doing each and every one of them, but the objective was never to settle with a certain style, so our time has come to shift once more. It was already decided right after the last album that the next record would not become The Fathomless Mastery part two, but in certain aspects it would actually become its antithesis.

So prepare for an ultimate blueprint of destructive, raw, heavy, organic, and sludgy death metal.”
Grand Morbid Funeral will hit stores November 17th through Peaceville Records.
