The new studio album from the Italian veterans of occult black doom metal!
The wait is over! Over four years have passed since Italian doom/black metal veterans Abysmal Grief released their latest studio record, Funeral Cult of Personality. The Italian band has been extremely active nonetheless, releasing several compilations and live albums via Avantgarde Music, and it's now time to announce their new full length album: Taetra Philosophia!
Abysmal Grief are back with their signature sound of doom and black metal from the early days of the underground, with creepy, funereal keyboards creating a unique and inimitable atmosphere. Conceptually speaking, Taetra Philosophia focuses on the mundane, on the more tangible and earthly aspects aspects of Death, and comes with reflections on esoteric practices and on those who rely on them without having completely freed themselves from religious superstition.
Taetra Philosophia sees Abysmal Grief back to the original three piece lineup after twelve years as a quartet, consisting in Regen Graves (guitars and drums), Labes C. Necrothytus (keyboards and vocals) and Lord Alastair (bass). Its seven songs were written and recorded along four years at Chrismon Studio, then mixed in one single take by Regen Graves and Emanuele Cioncoloni in Genoa, at ElFish Studio.
With a picture by Simone Salvatori (Spiritual Front, Morgue Ensemble) as front art, Abysmal Grief's Taetra Philosophia will be available worldwide on CD, LP and digital December 12th via Avantgarde Music.
