UK extreme metallers Abduction will release their highly anticipated new album, Existentialismus, on 21st February, 2025, via Candlelight.
Following their explosive 2022 album, Black Blood, which showcased the band’s fiercely expansive sound, Abduction are now poised to push their musical boundaries even further. With many bands currently paying homage to black metal’s glory years and just as many attempting to connect unrelated workings to that legacy, Abduction’s music manages to be both recognisably authentic and imbued with its own spirit. And never has this been truer than in the new album, Existentialismus.
Abduction have also just released their new single, “A Legacy of Sores”, which you can stream now. The video is below.
“The most obvious expansion is in the voice,” considers vocalist and founder A|V. “I felt that vocally, I had more freedom to express the lyrics and messages with fewer genre leashes. Given the themes of pain, frustration, and fear involved, it made sense to convey that in its most natural state rather than performing to certain expectations. The vocals and lyrics are important to me, so I let them breathe and counterpoint the bands playing.”
