Description:

Australian death metal band ABRAMELINs 1994 EP, *Transgression from Acheron*, has been reissued with rehearsal recordings added as bonus tracks. This album captures the primal ferocity of 90s brutal death metal; from the opening sample taken from John Carpenters *The Thing*, the sense of foreboding and suffocation that pervades the entire work erupts all at once. On Human Abattoir, down-tuned guitars interlock with a heavy yet razor-sharp precision, while the left-and-right split riffing creates a suffocating atmosphere. The oppressive, palm-muted chugging is suddenly overwhelmed by high-speed sections, drums running amok on the brink of collapse, and vocals sunk so low theyre nearly indistinguishableall of which create a thoroughly dark atmosphere.This album doesnt stop at merely emphasizing brutality; it also weaves in eerie spatial arrangements and atmospheric developmentsas heard i
