Mutilation Rites release Harbinger on July 22 via Prosthetic Records.  The album sees the band harrow further into a most despairingly black lair of self-deprecation with its soul shattering intensity, reinforced only with continuous explosive blast-beats precociously layered behind savage shrieks.
The eight track feature was recorded with longtime collaborator Kevin Bernsten (TRIAC) at Developing Nations Studio in Baltimore,MD and marks the first full-length release to feature vocalist/bassist Ryan Jones (ex-Today Is The Day)  while mastering was completed by James Plotkin (Sunn O))), ISIS, Pelican). The band enlisted shock artist Valnoir (Black Dahlia, Nachtmystium, Watain)for Harbinger’s mind-altering cover artwork.
