Immortal Bird Kicks Off Tour, Announces "Empress/Abscess" Album

Chicago's blackened death grind miscreants from Immortal Bird will kick off their Western Migration tour today.

Immortal Bird will flap through eleven states in over a dozen cities, with the migration coming to a halt on May 14th in Madison, Wisconsin. Immortal Bird will be teasing tracks from a forthcoming new dose of deviance entitled "Empress/Abscess" on the tour.

The follow-up to 2013's "Akrasia" EP was tracked by Pete Grossmann (Weekend Nachos, Harm's Way, Dead In The Dirt) at Bricktop Recording in Chicago, Illinois earlier this year and mixed and mastered by Colin Marston (Gorguts, Krallice, Nader Sadek, Atheist, Origin etc.) at Menegroth, The Thousand Caves in Queens, New York.

"Empress/Abscess" includes a guest appearance by John Hoffman of Weekend Nachos and finds former drummer/vocalist, Rae Amitay, trading in her drum stool for a full-time position at the mic with longtime live drummer, Garry Naples (Novembers Doom) taking her place. The track listing is as follows:

1. Neoplastic
2. Saprophyte
3. The Sycophant
4. To A Watery Grave
5. And Send Fire
