Oakland, California's Abstracter have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of black, sludge and doom metal along with some elements of crust, dark ambient and industrial noise and this is a review of their 2021 album "Abomination" which will b e released in October by Sentient Ruin Laboratories.
A very slow, dark, heavy and apocalyptic sounding doom metal sound starts off the album which also adds in the heaviness of sludge metal. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of crust elements and blast beats can also be heard. Vocals also bring in a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams while the songs also add in a decent balance between slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the songs also adding in a t ouch of dark ambient when they are utilized.
Dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with some industrial style noises also being utilized briefly as the album progresses. The production sounds very dark and heavy while the lyrics cover pessimism, misanthropy, the apocalypse and antichrist themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Abstracter and if you are a fan of black, sludge and doom metal with some touches of crust, dark ambient and industrial noise, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Eclipse Born" and "Lighteater". 8 out of 10.
