Legions of the Undead hits store shelves this October via the band’s own record label, Exmortus Music, and M-Theory Audio. The five-track release features a Halloween/horror theme and two new original songs. We already told you about the first track, “Swallow Your Soul,” inspired by Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead.

Details From The EXMORTUS Press Release
As the Oct. 25 release of their new Halloween/horror-themed EP Legions Of The Undead draws closer, the Los Angeles-based death/thrash/shred quartet EXMORTUS has unveiled a play-through-style music video for their cover of Danny Elfman’s “Beetlejuice” theme. The clip – which premiered recently via Consequence of Sound – sees the group’s members dress up as the title character of Tim Burton’s iconic 1988 fantasy/horror/comedy film.
“I’ve been meaning to cover this for a while now,” says EXMORTUS guitarist/vocalist Jadran “Conan” Gonzalez. “As a kid, I loved the movie and the cartoon series that followed it. Danny Elfman’s music really does lend itself to metal orchestration, so this was a breeze to learn and jam out. Hope you have as much fun watching it as we did recording it. It’s showtime!”
“Beetlejuice” can now be streamed on Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp and other digital platforms. Along with
the recently-released “Evil Dead” homage “Swallow Your Soul,” the song is one of two “instant grat” downloads
that are being offered with digital pre-orders of “Legions Of The Undead.” Physical copies, meanwhile, can
be pre-ordered on CD and limited-edition green slime-colored vinyl here.
