New LP from Umbra Vitae

The ferocious Umbra Vitae has announced a full-length album called Shadow of Life, set for a May 1 release on Deathwish Inc.

The band features Jacob Bannon, Mike McKenzie, and Sean Martin -- all of Wear Your Wounds -- plus Greg Weeks and Jon Rice. The band formed as a result of Wear Your Wounds practice sessions, where they would warm up with heavy riffs. This practice style led to recruiting Weeks and Rice, and Umbra Vitae was born.

Check out the lead single below.
