Exmortus have signed with Nuclear Blast. To celebrate the signing, these California death/thrashers have shared a Wayne Joyner-directed video for their new single “Oathbreaker.” The track will be featured on their next album.

Guitarist Jadran “Conan” Gonzalez comments on the signing:

“We are very excited to announce that our upcoming album will be our first with Nuclear Blast as our new label. We’re working with them to bring you what we consider to be our best album yet!”

Gonzalez continues to discuss on the new single:

“‘Oathbreaker’ is the perfect teaser for the new album. Not only is it fast, heavy and filled with shred, but it’s inspired by Tolkien’s haunting lore of the Dead Men of Dunharrow in the Lord of the Rings: the Return of the King. While our previous work focused more on the heroic aspect of fantasy and sword & sorcery, this album expresses the darker side with tragic heroes and horrors of humanity. Enjoy the new track cause we feel it belongs in our setlists for years to come!”
