Abysme/Strange Rites/Hellthrasher Productions/2012 CD Review


  Abysme  are  a  band  from  Pennsylvania  that  plays  a  very  old  school  form  of  death  metal  and  this is  a  review  of  their  2012  album  "Strange  Rites"  which  was  released  by  Hellthrasher  Productions.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  brutal  sounding  blast  beats  being thrown  into  the  music  at  times,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  is  coming  out  of  the  guitars  and  at  times  they  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  death  metal  riffs  that  are  very  old  school,  raw  and  primitive  sounding,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  chaotic  sounding  mid  80's  to  early  90's  style  death  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  are  mostly  deep  death  metal  growls  with  some  high  pitched  screams  being  thrown  into  the  music  at  times,  while  the  lyrics  cover  philosophy,  dark,  and  fantasy themes,  as  for  the  production  it h as  a  very  old  school,  raw  and  primitive  sound  to  it.

  In  my  opinion  Abysme  are  a  very  great  sounding  old  school,  raw  and  primitive  death  metal  band and  if  you  are  a  fan  of t his  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Beyond  The  Seventh  Door"  "Gift  To  the  Gods"  "Terminal  Delirium"  and  "Remarkable  Conqueror".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
