Murder By Death have entered the Baltimore, MD-based Magpie Cage studio to begin work on their third full-length and the followup to 2003's Who Will Survive, and What Wil Be Left of Them? The album, currently entitled In Bocca Di Lupo, is set for a tentative release in Spring 2006, and being produced by J. Robbins (Dismemberment Plan, Against Me!, the Promise Ring).
It will reportedly be a concept record inspired by Dante's Inferno, and will include "a tango, a seafarer's chant, waltzes, and heavy-hitting rock songs. [The record] will feature an array of additional musicians throughout the songs, including upright bass, a horn section, and a gospel choir." The band is currently unsigned and looking for a label to release the record. New Jersey's Eyeball Records handled Survive.
In addition, the band has posted a new demo track, available here: "Dynamite Mine."
As well, the Bloomington, IN four-piece will be doing an East coast headlining tour in November. Support will include William Elliot Whitmore and the Life and Times.
