Immortal Bird was created by drummer/vocalist Rae Amitay and brought to fruition by co-writer and guitarist Evan Berry, and bassist John Picillo. Live drumming duties are handled by Garry Naples. Their debut EP, Akrasia, was mixed by Kurt Ballou at Godcity Studio and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. Visceral, dark, and vitriolic -- Immortal Bird is the result of choosing rage over sadness.

Following several tours that took the band across the United States and into Canada, Immortal Bird entered the studio to record their debut full-length, Empress/Abscess. Picking up where Akrasia left off, Empress/Abscess delves once again into a cesspool of misery, fury, and anguish with stunning cover art by Kikyz1313. The album will be released as a collaborative effort, with Broken Limbs Recordings taking charge with vinyl and cassettes, while Immortal Bird will be self-releasing the CD/digital version under the moniker Manatee Rampage Recordings.
