URT Signs U.S. Deal With BENEATH THE FOG PRODUCTIONS

Estonian fierce pagan metallers URT have inked a deal with Beneath The Fog Productions for the U.S. release of their fourth studio album, "Ex Mortuis - Saatanhark III". The CD was previously made available via Arhailised Helid. The first-edition limited digipack contains a bonus cover song "Tütarlaps kloaagis", originaly by RUJA, plus the "Uinuva Kaevu Saladus" clip, which can be viewed below.

URT (the South-Estonian Setu language word for "Soul of Death") was formed in 2004 and has thus far released one demo, three full-length albums and a split. The group's music is described as "a mix of agressive black and death metal with lots of atmospheric, pagan and epic passages. Lyrics (mostly in Finnish-Ugri Estonian language) are philosophical and paganic (inspired by myths of 'Põhjala'),like mantras of becoming oneself a man with forces of Nature (Hell)."
