Swiss apocalyptic post-metal act ABRAHAM unleashes their latest single, “Blood Moon, New Alliance.” Now streaming exclusively at Decibel Magazine, the track comes by way of the band’s impending new full-length, Débris de Mondes Perdus, set for release February 25th via Pelagic Records!
Being the result of eleven years of recording and touring with bands like Cult Of Luna and The Ocean, ABRAHAM’s Débris de Mondes Perdus shows a post-metal powerhouse at the height of its ability. On “Blood Moon, New Alliance,” the band reduces a barrage of blast beats to an atmospheric exercise in restraint, smoothly transitioning through differences in volume and pace, while retaining a sense of intensity that borders on bloodthirst.
Comments the band, “‘Blood Moon, New Alliance’ is about telling new stories with broken words. It is also about a shift in the geological depths of the earth that resonates with a shift in the unconscious depths of human mind (what is left of it) about its relation to the un/animated world. It is partly inspired by the novel Autobiographie D’un Poulpe by French author Vinciane Despret, who imagines a therolinguistic society (see Ursula K. Le Guin for this one) who studies the actual written traces of species like octopuses. Borges could have come up with something similar. If you look closely, you will also find a reference to another ABRAHAM song.”
