ABHORIA
DEPTHS (LTD. TRANSLUCENT ORANGE) (PROSTHETIC RECORDS)
Translucent orange vinyl, limited to 300 copies. Depths, the sophomore album from melodic black metal quartet ABHORIA, is rooted in the aggressive core of its self-titled predecessor, but with new flourishes that push the boundaries of the band.
A reinvigorated line up, replete with new vocalist Ben Pitts (In the Company of Serpents), has instilled a newfound confidence in the core members, creating a fine balance of melody and intensity making the album a compelling listen; for fans who were taken with the desolate black metal of their debut, there's even more to embrace on Depths.
