  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    After the Candlelight Records debut ‘Black Blood’, masked purveyors of mayhem and Black Metal trailblazers Abduction return with their brand-new album ‘Existentialismus’. The record, arguably the band’s most electrifying, emotionally complex and personal recording to date, is inspired by the juxtaposition of a post-truth era against the simpler truths of ancient religions and crumbling past, the observations of the modern world.

    After an incredibly prolific recording run that saw a trilogy of albums released from 2017 to 2019, 2022’s explosive 'Black Blood', the band’s first album for the revered label Candlelight Records, proved an undeniable milestone for the band.

    Abduction are of the UK’s most visible black metal acts on the live circuit, bringing their ritualistic and immersive performances to audiences at Damnation, Bloodstock, Incineration, Fortress, Doomsday, Mass Destruction, Samhain, Reaperfest and Eradication.

    'Existentialismus' has been recorded, for the first time, as a full band. That sense of scale is palpable and reflects the ambition and embittered grandeur of the new material, an impressively cohesive combination of otherworldly atmospheres, fiery aggression and apocalyptic tension.

    The album, written by A|V was recorded by Ian Boult and mastered by Tore Stjerna (Watain, Mayhem). The band will be supporting New Zealand Death Metal trio Ulcerate in Germany as well as their own headline UK tour this October.

lyrics

A Legacy of Sores
Fists forged from selfish meat
Dissolve at first hand
Eyes that have no struggle seen
Squint at the horizon
Wet skin now paper thin
Reveals a core of dust
Broken vessels in
An ocean of rust
Shallow rocks meet hands
Blood upon the sands
Drowning water dance
Metaphorical
Didn’t watch the clock
Didn’t say enough
Didn’t care at all
A legacy of sores
Cold is the hand once calloused
Impressions of wilting strength
Now govern our instincts
Strangled by softness
And now only eerily soft
The skin of the host
Where before the shield of better men
Bolstered armour upon bone
Where once we weilded mighty swords
That triumphed into stone
Cold is the hand once calloused
Impressions of wilting strength
Strangled by softness
That triumphed into stone
That triumphed into stone
Where before the shield of better men
Bolstered armour upon bone
Where once we weilded mighty swords
That triumphed into stone
A legacy of sores…
As if it would be easy
As if you could purchase victory
As if all the blood and toil of our fathers
Meant absolutely nothing
As if it would be easy
As if you could purchase victory
As if all the struggle and toil of our fathers
Meant absolutely nothing
