The Mike Patton and Anthony Pateras project tētēma will return with Necroscape on April 3. The album is the group's second and will release on Ipecac Recordings. It explores the concept os isolation in the digital/surveillance age and covers a range of musical styles -- as one would expect of the musicians behind the project.

A lead sing, “Haunted On The Uptake,” is available now (below), described by Pateras as sounding “like The Melvins' tour van broke down in the Balkans and instead of going home, they decide to open a mountain laboratory dedicated to possible hybrids of Rembetika and hardcore.” 

Necroscape track list: 

Necroscape
Cutlass Eye
Wait Till Mornin’
Haunted on the Uptake
All Signs Uncensored
Milked Out Million
