ABYSSAL – Complete Work On New Album

Obscure UK ambient dark death metal band ABYSSAL have completed work on their new album entitled “Antikatastaseis”.

Even though “Antikatastaseis” is their third full-length, not much is really known about the band (no real promo photos, no promotion/interviews/press, no live shows etc.) aside from them being slightly recognized over the last little while as one of the more intriguing death metal entities currently coming out of the UK. With their previous two full-lengths “Denouement” and “Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius” merely put online without any warning or issue and available via CDR for anyone who actually requested physical copies (Profound Lore would officially issue a limited CD run of the latter, now sold out, with the limited vinyl edition done via Iron Bonehead and the cassette version via Exitium Productions), the obscure, murky, and vicious brand of atmospheric death metal terror ABYSSAL spewed forth (most notably with “Novit enim Dominus…”) stirred enough interest for death metal fans to at least be aware.

With “Antikatastaseis”, ABYSSAL have taken things to a much more notable level of grandeur. With a more refined sound and production, “Antikatastaseis” takes the band’s level of dark atmosphere, ambience, and abstract death metal technicality to a sonic plateau even more massive and monolithic. A bit different than the previous full-lengths, while not forsaking the sheer brutality and darkness, “Antikatastaseis” brings more clarity and melody to the ABYSSAL sound with the addition of even more experimental dark ambient noise-like segues, while heightening the sense of abstraction and technicality even more.

To be released June 23rd, tracklisting for “Antikatastaseis” goes as follows:

    1. I Am The Alpha And The Omega
    2. The Cornucopian
    3. Veil Of Transcendence
    4. Telomeric Erosion
    5. A Casual Landscape
    6. Chrysalis
    7. Delere Auctorem Rerum Ut Universum Infinitum Noscas
