MAGGOT HEART have announced a new album!

Titled Mercy Machine, the upcoming album from the Berlin-based trio is their sophomore effort and is scheduled to be released in July this year, via guitarist/vocalist Linnéa Olsson’s own label, Rapid Eye.

The upcoming album was recorded at Studio Cobra in Stockholm, with Martin “Konie” Ehrencrona [TRIBULATION, REFUSED, VIAGRA BOYS] co-producing, and the artwork was created by OBLITERATION drummer, Kristian Valbo. Mercy Machine is a ferocious rock album about sex, death, and the pursuit of freedom.

Speaking about the new song, Linnéa Olsson says, “from one plane of existence to the next, from one party to another – what will you bring with you and what needs to remain? The Mercy Machine will wash you clean, wheels will keep turning, until long after you are gone.”
