Swiss post-Metal band Abraham will release a new album Débris de mondes perdus on January 25, 2022 via Pelagic Records. The band just shared a new single “Fear Overthrown” which you can check out now!
After the release of Look Here Comes The Dark, the band lost both their 2nd guitarist and their main vocalist. “After Renzo and Mat left the band, we found ourselves wondering if we should replace them or simply continue as a three-piece, and we were very eager to experiment with less instruments. Since we’re still very much guitar-oriented, we quickly felt the need to recruit someone else and Margo, whom we’ve known for a long time, felt like the best fit. In a way, the reduction of the lineup matches the reduction in scope of the record: ‘Look, Here Comes the Dark’ told the story of humanity’s demise through various stages spanning almost two hours of music; ‘Debris de Mondes Perdus’ is set a few hundred years later, on a scorched earth, where the last remnants of humanity try desperately to survive and feel the need to somehow stick together despite death lurking around every corner.“
The end result is an album that is as rough, ugly and brute as it gets. Abraham have taken conscious distance to the polished, metallic side of post metal, in favour of a more rock- oriented, gritty and less produced sound. However, these are not glorious singalong rock anthems, but utterly raw, dissonant, abrasive and clinking cold compositions, in the most refreshing and invigorating sense of these words.
„The basic recipe for this album was to use less instruments and push them as far as you can“, says Vierdaz. See for yourself how far you’re ready to let yourself be pushed.
