Six years after a highly praised debut, An Abstract Illusion returns with some of their most accomplished melodies and riffs to date with their second album, Woe. A 60-minute song divided into 7 pieces, Woe combines beauty and brutality in an intricate slab of atmospheric death metal inspired by black metal, progressive rock and electronica. The musical depth remains lodged in the psyche long after the final note is heard. Let the waves wash over you, the behemoth has awoken. Random Color 2 LP.
