The time is ripe for apocalyptic songs, isn’t it? Enter Abstracter, the Oakland duo turned quintet by 2020 whose fourth full-length, «Abominion», will soon see the light of day and comes described as a “ghastly forty-minute hellscape of lightless crush-depth deep inside the darkest abysses of the apocalypse.” According to its press release, it sees the band “elevate their long lasting apocalyptic concept to its scariest and most overwhelming extremes yet, coercing the harshest strains of black and doom metal with ravaging scarifications of noise and droning dark ambient into a bleak and suffocating sonic cataclysm of complete darkness and annihilation.” All lovely descriptors to set the stage for the album opener «Eclipse Born», which you can hear below.

«Abominion» is set for release on October 1 through Sentient Ruin on cassette, cd, digital, and vinyl formats. Pre-orders can be found here.
