FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Progressive death metal force Parthian continue building momentum behind their acclaimed album Mortuorum with a newly published in-depth interview in the legendary Metal Hammer magazine.
In the extensive feature, titled “Parthian – Inside ‘Mortuorum’: pain, resilience and extreme metal” , the band opens up about the deeply personal tragedies that shaped the record, the emotional catharsis behind the songwriting process, and their fearless approach to pushing the boundaries of progressive death metal.
Originally conceived as a “book of death,” Mortuorum evolved naturally into something far more personal as the band endured devastating losses throughout the writing and recording process. Rather than retreat from the pain, Parthian transformed it into one of the most emotionally raw and musically adventurous releases of their career.
“We used this album as a form of therapy,” the band explained in the interview. “Music has always been so for us individually, but for this record we leaned even more, as a group, on the healing aspect of music.”
The interview dives deep into the making of tracks like “Martyrless” , “Viscera of Eternal Damnation” , and the ambitious closer “Blasphemian Rhapsody” , while also exploring the band’s use of cinematic influences, theatrical elements, and unconventional genre experimentation.
Parthian also discusses the importance of balancing technical musicianship with genuine emotional weight, emphasizing melody and storytelling over empty flash. Vocalist Adam reveals some of the album’s most powerful moments came from leaving imperfections intact during recording sessions, allowing real grief and vulnerability to shine through.
With Mortuorum , Parthian has delivered more than just an extreme metal album. They’ve created a cathartic and uncompromising artistic statement about survival, brotherhood, grief, and perseverance.
