7th album from 2015 by the American THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, one of the leading bands in modern Melodic Death Metal. “Abysmal” continues the evolution displayed on previous releases, combining the band's trademark speed, aggression and technical prowess with a more dynamic and refined approach, without sacrificing any of its intensity.
Featuring a powerful production and outstanding guitar work from Brian Eschbach and Ryan Knight, the album delivers a superb collection of songs where razor-sharp melodies, frantic riffs and Trevor Strnad’s unmistakable vocal performance come together seamlessly. A solid and crushing release that further reinforces the band's status as one of the premier acts in contemporary Melodic Death Metal.
Recommended for fans of AT THE GATES, ARSIS, THE HAUNTED, DARKANE and CARCASS.
