ABBATH

Release Year: 2019
Artist Origin: NOR
Style: grim ferocious aggressive black metal

three years past the debut album Olve puts together totally new line-up, which - unlike those still quite comic photo sessions that balance on the edge of kitsch and press gimmicks - is able to deliver grim and focused enough black metal repertoire, where quality of damn memorable riffs and bitter vocal tone of the FrontMan himself are quite impressive, leaving no doubt about his determination, while epic feel and grandiose atmosphere comparisons with certain Immortal albums once again are inevitable, much like that authentic black metal spirit that comes directly from classic Bathory releases, where Nordic spirit moves in step with driving rhythms and dramatic guitar melodies enhance damn engaging narrative; exclusive gatefold sleeve golden vinyl "artist" edition with Bathory Pace 'till Death cover, hot foil silver stamping on sleeve and pro-printed lyric inner sleeve is limited to 500 units
