Hailing
from the Toronto sector of the Canadian province of Ontario, ABYSS has
locked a deal with Olympia, Washington's 20 Buck Spin for the release of the
faction's first full-length album, Heretical Anatomy.
Exploding
with a tenebrous style of stygian, grinding death metal, witnessed through two
prior demos including The Reins Of Horror via Dark Descent
Records, Heretical Anatomy documents the first fully realized
glimpse into the dark surging ABYSS. Hideous shapes and
bloodthirsty rites of the Old Ones are viciously summoned upon the bones and
bowels of the Earth, through eight odes to nameless terrors and protean
revulsion mercilessly ripped from the flayed life of the cosmos and dripping
with crimson adoration. The frenzied blasting of early American and UK death
metal and grindcore, before a distinct separation between the two existed, is a
hallmark of Heretical Anatomy, yet the overwhelming speed scattered
throughout the album's duration is expertly applied, never descending into a
one dimensional space where only velocity is the basis for existence. Songs are
crafted with the care of the elder gods, rigorously refined with a seasoned
sophistication, always maintaining a sharply primitive ferocity. Joel Grind of
Toxic Holocaust adds his touch to the production, mixing and mastering this
malformed death metal and the horror of its Lovecraftian persona.
Heretical
Anatomy will arise from the iced realms of
Ontario on LP and digital on April 14th, 2015, guaranteed to magnetize those
who regularly feast upon the works of Napalm Death, Exhumed, Repulsion,
Impaled, Noisem, Terrorizer, Carcass, Axis Of Advance, labelmates Mammoth
Grinder, Bone Sickness and more. Severed labs of pre-release audio and more on Heretical
Anatomy will permeate the airwaves in the coming weeks, including
widespread North American touring announcements. For now, the track listing and
album cover art by Toronto based Chris MacDonald have been released.
