Irish grindcore/death metal legends Abaddon Incarnate return with their new album The Wretched Sermon an album eight years in the making and sixth overall.
The Wretched Sermon is a timely reminder of everything you love about the genre. It absolutely grooves and destroys in equal measure. Adding in some atmosphere and some thrashier elements it has that definite UK feeling where the speed throws you literally headfirst into huge headbanging passages made for destroying pits and the perceptions. ‘’ Hyperchaos’’ with its seamless transitions, the annihilative “Silent Indifference” and the epic creation that is “Isolation and Decay” the drumming is superb as is the death metal riffs, it is a familiar, yet engrossing merging of the styles delivered with energy and intelligence.
It is a nimble intense album ‘’Killing Spree” and “Parasite “are both two-minute assaults on the senses and “Rising Of the Lights” incorporates a fantastic beat and groove and delirious solos.
‘Into the Maelstrom” is another carnage-inducing song delivered with utter conviction
Abaddon Incarnate have unleashed their best album yet. An absolute beast of an album that explores new territories and revels in its diversity. The fact that it is capable of doing this whilst being supremely heavy and deadly quick is mind-blowing.
