BLOOD MORTIZED, the Swedish death metal band featuring former AMON AMARTH guitarist Anders Hansson (who played on AMON AMARTH's first two albums, 1996's "Sorrow Throughout The Nine Worlds" and 1998's "Once Sent From The Golden Hall") and CRYPT OF KERBEROS drummer Mattias Borgh, recently completed work on a new three-song EP, entitled "Bestial".

Commented the group: "We have signed a contract for a cassette release of the all new 'Bestial' EP. It will feauture a arse-kicking cover created for us by Daniel Devilish. The tape will be released in a strict 100 copies only, so be fast or cry like a baby later! We are talking to some labels and especially one; can't say which one. But hopefully this will lead to a CD release of the new EP AND a bit later it might get released on vinyl also. The cover for the CD version was created by our favorite Dutch artist Thomas Kynst [see below]."

BLOOD MORTIZED adds: "All material for our upcoming second album has been written. The plan is to start the recording in a quite near future. The title for this sophomore album is 'The Key To A Black Heart'."

The band earlier in the year parted ways with guitarist Benny Moberg "due to personal matters."

BLOOD MORTIZED's self-titled debut album was released in April 2009 through Singapore's Vrykoblast Productions.
