Hells Headbangers has set October 28th as the international release date for Crucified Mortals' second album, "Psalms of the Dead Choir."

One of the best kept secrets of the Cleveland metal scene, Crucified Mortals has been quietly but prolifically perfecting its craft since 2001. Under the steely resolve of founder/mastermind Reaper, a handful of demos and splits culminated in Crucified Mortals' debut, self-titled album. As much as "Crucified Mortals" was a highlight for the band, a decade after its formation, it will now be eclipsed by "Psalms of the Dead Choir."

A statement from Reaper reads: "Starting with darker imagery - for this genre - we put a lot of focus on doing unique and/or fresh ideas with 'Psalms of the Dead Choir,' from different guitar amps on virtually every song, numerous vocal effects to establish a different surrounding, to deeper meanings behind otherwise straightforward lyrics. There's a lot to analyze for the in-depth listener, but it is straightforward and ripping for those looking to jam out."
