Rozamov to Release This Mortal Road March 3

Boston three-piece Rozamov have been pretty tightlipped when it’s come to their debut album. I had to go back and look at the dates, but it was last summer that I visited them at New Alliance Audio (feature here) while they were tracking the full-length, the title for which has been revealed today as This Mortal Road, so to say it’s been a while in the making seems fair, but to have them announce a solid release date — March 3 — through not one but two record labels in Battleground Records (LP) and Dullest Records (CD/CS), well, that’s definite progress.

And not like they haven’t been busy in the interim, playing Psycho California, breaking in new drummer Jeff Landry and touring earlier this year with Moon Tooth to support their split single with Los Angeles’ Deathkings (review here). Bottom line is dudes have hardly been sitting on their collective ass — plus there were haircuts to get! (been there, can relate) — but I’m glad to see This Mortal Road making its way toward fruition.

ROZAMOV: Boston Doom Outfit Completes Debut LP For Release Through Battleground Records And Dullest Records

Boston, Massachusetts-based doom metal outfit, ROZAMOV, has completed their first full-length recording, This Mortal Road. The band has hooked up with diverse underground labels, Battleground Records and Dullest Records, who are now solidifying the album for release in early 2017.

Since 2011, ROZAMOV has left their mark on the US metal circuit with their infectious psyche-tinged grueling doom, the band name having quickly spread beyond their local scene through touring abroad, having opened for countless national acts, and much more. Having independently released two EPs – 2012’s Rozamov and 2013’s Of Gods And Flesh – ROZAMOV now prepares to desensitize the masses with their proper debut album, This Mortal Road.

Following an already busy 2015, including performances at Psycho California, Converse Rubber Tracks Live alongside Slayer and Doomriders – with a corresponding Converse feature on the back cover of Decibel Magazine, a tour with Destroy Judas, and the release of a split 7″ with Deathkings, amidst the bleak and historic winter of 2014-15, ROZAMOV entered New Alliance Audio in Cambridge to record This Mortal Road. The result is a blistering sonic catharsis featuring the longest, heaviest and most progressive tracks the band has ever produced, the album recorded and mixed by Jon Taft at New Alliance Audio, and mastered by Nick Z at New Alliance East Mastering. The recording lineup for the album includes Tom Corino (bass/vocals/noise guitar), Matt Iacovelli (guitar/vocals/piano), and Will Hendrix (drums).

This Mortal Road will see release March 3rd on vinyl through Battleground Records (Vehemence, Eight Bells, CHRCH, Lago), on CD and cassette through Dullest Records (Cleanteeth, Crowhurst, Lambs, Hush), and digitally through the band. Stand by for the track listing, cover art, and additional details, audio samples, and more to be released in the coming weeks.

Since recording This Mortal Road, in 2016 ROZAMOV has completed a brief Canadian tour with Moon Tooth and added drummer Jeff Landry to the lineup, while finalizing the new album for release. A North American tour is currently being booked for March alongside the release of This Mortal Road.
