    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

Between the pales
Upon the hours and hours
Between the pales
Upon the hours and hours

Behold all vision is through me
At night and in terrible dreams
From for the bewitched loins of Isis
All hearing forth has come
From fathers work undone
Upon the Phallic spear of Osiris
Forever we are adorned with the wisdom of your seed
Forever we are yours in mutilation
Forever we are adorned with the wisdom of your seed
Forever we are yours in mutilation

As if our grandfathers would even pity us
As only wisdom knows, there’s no such thing as luck
Stigma bound
Yet failed the gold rush

Pales upon pales
Hours upon hours
Between the axe and elbow
Shoulder and stone

The house in which you stand 
Mortar made of sweat and bone 

Pales upon pales
Hours upon hours
Pales upon pales
Hours upon hours

There is more honour in the last gasping breath
Spilled forth from a dying old man's chest 
Than all the seas of all the tears the younger can conjour. 
For with one wish they'd give it all away. 

Between the pales
Upon the hours and hours
Between the pales
Upon the hours and hours
