Abominion

VOIDSPIRE Cataclysmic pitch black doom metal that you can almost listen to with your nose because of how pungent the atmosphere is. Scathing vocals, carpet-bombing blasts, thick riffs covered in tar and a masterful grip on menacing ambiance. This is, without the shadow of a doubt, Abstracter's finest record yet. Favorite track: Abyss Above.

Der Ohlsen "Set within a vast space and subtly supported by dark ambient synths this relentless, destructive, pessimistic onslaught develops a vortical atmosphere, which throws you around just as much as it inescapably sucks you in. The growling vocal performance also mirrors the sentiment of a maelstrom tearing you apart and drawing your pieces into the void."

JULIAN legitimately terrifying blackened doom hell here, heavy as it gets, punishing and claustrophobic, freaking gorgeous. and the vinyl is one of the coolest physical releases I've gotten in a while.

SRUIN160
Oakland CA-based apocalyptic black doom harbingers Abstracter re-emerge with their inhumanly crushing fourth full-length album “Abominion”, a ghastly forty-minute hellscape of lightless crush-depth deep inside the darkest abysses of the apocalypse. Extreme and devastating in every sense possible, the soul-crushing album sees the enigmatic American 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. In its imposing and terrifying forty minutes “Abominion” obliterates all sense of hope in the listener and casts a harrowing vision into a dark future of total doom and torment where the last human life forms scavenge a devastated radioactive twilight buried in ash and ruins as dark forces of mysterious origin surround them and crush them under the inescapable heel of armageddon. Distilled from pure pessimism and misanthropy, the album’s daunting concept establishes mankind as a parasitic scourge or delusional rogue pestilence or antichrist-like figure and is told in the form of memories, precognitions, reckonings and regret within the human race as concepts like environmental collapse, war, militarism, religious fanaticism, pollution, deviated industrialism, fatalism, greed, avarice, evil, and delusions of glory are littered throughout the artwork and lyrics to help the listener grapple with the complete ruin and darkness they are immersed in through the music.

Known for forging their imposing and ominous sound across a massive spectrum of influences that include apocalyptic and eschatological literature and fiction, Abstracter’s otherworldly and monstrous strain of apocalyptic blackened doom contains influences coming from unforgettable dark metal and punk bands like Celtic Frost and Tryptykon, Godflesh, Khanate, Corrupted, Leviathan, Swans, Sunn O))), Amebix, Blut Aus Nord, The Ruins of Beverast, Portal, Dystopia, and Disembowelment as well as from certain underground scholars of dark ambient and industrial noise that the band have meticulously distilled and reworked into their sound over the last decade to forge a completely unheard of and unclassifiable colossal aural weapon of mass extinction.
