Hail Yakuza metal! Abigail is from Japan and they're proud of it. From listening to this album it's easy to tell that they're influenced by the old 80's Gods such as Celtic Frost, Destruction, Kreator, etc. You get the idea, this is blackmetal with a strong 80's thrash influence. The vocal work is probably what distances them from many of the blackmetal hordes doing this style of retro-metal. It's so harsh that it requires some time to get used to. This is one of my favorite albums from Japan so get this and walk on the darkside. 9/10
