Abigor
Channeling the Quintessence of Satan
[Napalm]


Yes, this is the fifth ABIGOR full-length and it rules!

It is fast, brutal, true black-influenced death metal with harsh production and furious playing. It does not reach the coldness of ”Opus IV” but this is more about war-like aggression, just like their mCD ”Apokalypse” was.

The riffings are as technical as ever, on the level of most quality death metal bands and T.T.’s drumming is sharp. Silenius has left the position of the vocalist to Thurisaz (formerly of AMESTIGON and HEIDENREICH) and he is very consistent but almost monotonous in consistency here.

Monotonous minimalism doesn’t hurt this album one bit because this feels like one complete track from the beginning to end in tight coherence. Songs are separated by inspiring small keyboard bits that are more sci-fi this time than old ABIGOR’s semi-medieval atmospherics.

HEIL SATAN!
