Mournblade releases EP on Open Grave Records[views:1759][posts:2]______________________________________ [Jul 23,2006 6:02pm - the_reverend ""] Open Grave Records to release Mournblade's debut EP, "Mangled Lies". Mournblade was formed in the summer of 1987 as a trio. However a series of bad timing and events keep the band from playing live. Death, jailed band members, and military deployments took it's toll in the early years, however Mournblade moved on with it's surviving founding members as a on and off project for the next 15 years. After the death of drummer Jake Blood from a car accident in 1989 and bassist Tom Rubian commiting suicide in 1993 in South Korea as a member of the 2nd Infantry Division, the band went underground as the founding member took a bass slot in LA's first deathcore band (formed in 1983) Sacreligious Death. Mournblade was still a project band playing for only local house shows and friends parties. Jeff Blacky still pushed on with founding guitarist Rick Auschwitz, when Danny Leviathan joined in 2003 on bass. Jeff was later recalled to duty after 9-11 as a member of the California National Guard doing Operation Noble Eagle and later in 2004 Operation Enduring Freedom serving a 18 month deploying in combat theater of operations in the middle east. Upon returning, Danny bailed out of the band over an internet chick. The band picked up former drummer Todd Irish. After almost 20 years the band finally moved into NightinGale Studios to record a 5 song CD which is scheduled for a early September 2006 release on Open Grave Records.
