Norway · Invictus Productions
A brand-new formation began in early 2020, Norway’s Abhorration nevertheless feature members hailing from such bands as Condor, Nekromantheon, Hecatomb, Resonaut, Purple Hill Witch, and Obliteration. While one could reasonably expect what sound might result from such a conglomeration, the band’s first public recording, After Winter Comes War, aims for an olde-world Metal of Death that abounds with a refreshing sense of the new. Abhorration invoke and re-arrange trace elements of classic Sadistic Intent, Morbid Angel, Possessed, and early Vader into something uniquely labyrinthine – epic, haunting, and most devotedly METAL above all – with the wicked angularity of prime Axis of Advance to make the proceedings that much more twisted & pissed and thankfully, not once is there a cloying sense of retro here. They released their debut album “Demonolatry” via Invictus Productions in September last year to much praise in the underground death metal communities around the world.
