Parthian Releases Emotionally Charged Progressive Death Metal Album Mortuorum – Out Now on All Platforms!

Wichita, Kansas – Progressive Death Metal outfit Parthian has officially released their long-awaited concept album Mortuorum, now available on all major streaming platforms. The record is a fearless, genre-blending journey through life, death, and resilience, showcasing the band’s most ambitious and cathartic work to date.

The album’s opening single “Martyrless”—released March 15—set the tone with its relentless aggression and 80s-slasher-inspired music video. Now, Mortuorum expands on that foundation with a full slate of progressive death metal tracks that are as emotionally resonant as they are sonically intense.

Mortuorum was written during a period of profound loss for the band. Vocalist Adam lost his father and great uncle, drummer DJ lost his uncle, bassist Jacky and his wife experienced a heartbreaking midterm pregnancy loss, and guitarist Justin’s wife is currently battling cancer. Rather than break them, the grief became a crucible that forged one of the most personal and powerful albums in their catalog.

“We wanted Mortuorum to be an exploration of death and the way it affects us—not just as individuals but as a collective,” says vocalist Adam. “We experienced loss, but also a deep sense of support and resilience, and that’s something we poured into this album.”

The album pushes boundaries with highlights like:
“Viscera of Eternal Damnation” – chaotic shredding meets country-infused riffs
“Kingdom of Scorn” – a theatrical metal journey with musical theater flair
“Witches of Deliverance” – brutal death metal layered with an orchestral break
“Blasphemian Rhapsody” – a riff-driven epic blending Queen, neo-soul, and Beatles vibes

Mortuorum is more than an album—it’s a sonic experience that transcends genre. With each track, Parthian showcases their ability to craft something daring, heartfelt, and utterly unforgettable.

Stream Mortuorum now on all major digital platforms.
