Murder by Death will begin recording their fifth full-length studio album in December at Bloomington-based Farm Fresh Studios. The forthcoming as-yet-untitled album is the follow-up to 2008's Red of Tooth and Claw and is scheduled for release next spring. Vocalist/guitarist Adam Turla had this to say of the new material:
With this record, we wanted to write a more versatile and manic album. We are going for doomier, more beautiful, even a few songs in major keys (rare for us)... the whole kit-and-caboodle.
