Old-school death metal worship is a hard musical formula to
fuck up, really, especially when your band boasts a founding member of a killer
OSDM band like Funerus! Abysme also count former members of Aus-Rotten and
Crucial unit among their ranks. This three-piece band hailing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
have been around since 2006, but so far only released a demo in 2009 and their
debut full length, “Strange Rites”, earlier this year on Hellthrasher
Productions.
Abysme play a putrid blend of early 90s European and
American death metal, sounding most akin to early Autopsy and Immolation with a
heavy dose of early Entombed and Dismember thrown in to change things up. The
tempos range from slow, to mid, to fast and the songs sound very raw and
primitive with the occasional chaotic guitar solo.
There’s not too much more detail to go into regarding this
album, but killer tracks such as;
"Beyond The Seventh Door", "Gift to the Gods", "Terminal Delirium”
and “Remarkable Conqueror" tend to speak for themselves and showcase
some well-written and honest death metal.
Highly recommended for fat old dudes who wear leather
jackets.
