Swiss experimental post-metal band, Abraham, have just announced their fifth studio album, idsungwüssä. The new full-length is due out September 26th via Pelagic Records; the third and final chapter of a concept album series. The band have now revealed the first glimpse of the record with the single, “Naked in a Naked Sky,” and its accompanying video. Watch it below and find out more.

Still staged in the gritty atmosphere and philosophical weight of post-metal, sludge, and ambient noise, idsungwüssä sees Abraham march even further into dissonant and defiant territory. Abraham has also shared another single and video “Suurwäut”: https://youtu.be/dLdHrtsO5Rc

The structures and movements of the songs found within idsungwüssä are unique and fresh — a balancing of themes and emotions that is both intoxicating and unsettling, it is an immersive experience that rewards deep listening and challenges the boundaries of the post-metal genre. Urgency and duress bleeds into every song, an hour-long journey that moves from the grim to sublime, from melancholy to raw destruction — evoking ruined civilizations and the last wails of fractured psyches.

Strewn throughout the record are appearances of Farfisa Louvre organ — prominently featuring on an Abraham album for the first time. The band was also joined by Kevin Galland (Coilguns), who added additional Moog and piano parts. With four studio albums and European tours supporting Cult Of Luna and The Ocean, the Swiss masters Abraham have forged their reputation as one of the leading post metal bands in Europe. idsungwüssä isn’t just heavy, it is absolutely drenched in delicious filth, and yet by embracing even more the melodic interludes and melancholic passages, they create a devastating contrast to the wall of power coming from stacked guitars, catastrophic drums and raging, sharp vocals — delivered in Swiss-German dialect.
