Info -
Abyssal Rift create gut-wrenching, pulverizing death/doom metal that embodies the best aspects of those two styles. The integration is thorough and the marked oscillation between the two happens naturally rather than it being a forced process. For a band of this ilk, the music is far more intricate and involved than it seems, with moments of it being fleshed out or slowed down if only to emphasize the unfathomable heaviness. At other times, the music builds in intensity until it reaches a crescendo, to be followed by a filthy, chugging part, a ripping solo, or a transcendental or industrial-tinged atmospheric passage. They manage to mix it all up without losing coherency or their asphyxiating grip on the listener. This is an engrossing, diligent album rife with downright wicked riffs, an ominous atmosphere, and some insane structuring, more so than most others in the vein.
Genre - Death/doom metal
For fans of - Incantation, Disembowelment, Saevus Finis, Cruciamentum
Line up -
Matt Auxier - Guitars, lead vocals, synths , programming
