Abyssal
As per the usual for me lately I’m short on time. Running a small electrical contracting business and having my one employee out for family troubles means I get to do every-fuckin-thing. It sucks. What doesn’t suck is a discovery I made a few days ago in the form of one of many bands known as Abyssal. This one hails from the UK and came into existence in 2010 before unleashing their debut, Denouement, on the second day of this year.
The sound on this beast is what you may expect from a band called Abyssal as it’s straight out of the abyss. Imagine if you mixed the most blistering elements of Black Metal with the finer points of Brutal Death Metal and topped it off with some dissonance reminiscent of Ulcerate. This is an album that will kick the shit out of you, seriously. And it won’t cost you a cent, because these generous bastards have released it as a straight-up free download via Bandcamp.
Here’s where I’m gonna leave you guys with it. Bandcamp and Metal Archives are the only two places on the interwebz that I can find proof of Abyssal’s existence.

What’s up with all these free albums that are so good. Were’s the time that you had to pay in order to get something which was decent?
This stuff is awesome, they also have a bit of Gorath in them too; getting it now! Shame there’s like nothing up about them, they’re like even worse than deathspell omega.

I think maybe bands are using the drug dealer business model: the first one is free, then after they’ve got you hooked…….
