The Norwegian black metallers TULUS reveal the first glimpse into their forthcoming eight full-length album, “Morbid Desires”, to be released on March 27th via  Darkness Shall Rise Productions , on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.

Rising from the depths of the hellish Norwegian darkness: 35 years after their inception, Oslo-based Tulus are still going strong and return with a new album. Only three years after its predecessor, the notorious three-piece is back with their eighth full-length, titled “Morbid Desires”, which Darkness Shall Rise are very proud to be releasing.

Instead of straying from their path, “Morbid Desires” comprises nine tracks that continue the trademark Tulus sound. An abundance of hellishly catchy riffs molded into concise mid-tempo songs performed by proficient musicians accompanied by Blodstrup’s grim vocals are still the main characteristics of Tulus.

Having said that, “Morbid Desires” is by no means a one-dimensional album. Fast parts, beautifully chanted vocals, flamenco and acoustic guitars etc. woven into some of the songs provide the album with plenty of variety. “Sabbat,” the album’s closer and by far the longest track, surely sticks out the most. Undeniably conceived as a tribute to Black Sabbath, the song is nothing short of amazing and impressively proves the outstanding musicianship of Tulus‘ members.

Tracklist:

1. Salme II
2. Skabb
3. Tulus
4. Kistesmed
5. Vanvidd
6. Hedengangen
7. Fossegrimens vakt
8. Skauånd
9. Sabbat

Prior to the announcement, Tulus reveal the first new track “Salme II.” “Salme II” continues the saga from Tulus‘ much-loved track “Salme” from the album “Evil”  (1999). Salme is a farewell psalm for The Collector, a morbid and mysterious figure of the forest. “Salme II” is an echo of his life in form of new activity in his dark cave. Torches are being quenched and relighted. Listen below:
