Wednesday, 27th August 2014
Los Angeles based extreme metal masters, ABYSMAL DAWN, return with a massive display of refined brutality on their fourth full-length Obsolescence. Obsolescence will be released October 28th in North America (UK/World October 27th and Germany/Benelux/Finland on October 24th) via Relapse Records. Today the first full song from Obsolescence has been released, “Inanimate,” and can be streamed below.
Beginning today, Obsolescence is available for pre-order from Relapse Records and digitally via Bandcamp. The album will be released on CD/LP/Digital/Deluxe Digital formats. The CD and digital releases include a bonus cover of Dissection’s “Night’s Blood” and the digital deluxe version includes demo recordings of every song on the album. A Relapse.com exclusive vinyl color is also available and includes a full color album cover poster. The devastating, otherworldly artwork was created by Pär Oloffson. (The Faceless, Spawn of Possession).
“I’m very happy to present a new ABYSMAL DAWN track after almost three years of waiting,” commented vocalist/guitarist Charles Elliott. “It’s a heavy one, so get ready to bang your fucking head with the song on repeat until your neck won’t move anymore!!!”
“Lyrically this one is about losing your idealism and becoming a cold, unfeeling shell of a human being, in order to survive our modern society. An inanimate object if you will; one without hope that has cut themselves off from emotion. Our experiences in this life can carve us into stone, but they can also desensitize us in the process. In short, this might be the most depressing song you ever wanted to circle pit too.”
“We hope you enjoy ‘Inanimate’ and that you catch us on our tour with Deicide this fall. We’ll also be playing a few headlining shows that we hope you’ll cause chaos at as well. See you soon and cheers!”
