Abyssal

Abyssal are a mysterious trio from the UK that plays death metal in a twisted, avant-garde manner, encapsulating pure dread and inevitable doom. Their self-released 2012 debut full-length, titled Denouement, seemed to come out of nowhere, flying mainly under the radar of the metal scene, yet its angular, unorthodox take showed immense promise.  
On January 1st, 2013, Abyssal unleashed Novit Enim Dominus Qui Sunt Eius on an unsuspecting public. A true vision of death metal horror, it takes the inverted hypnosis of Blut Aus Nord and filters it through the likes of Mitochondrion, Portal and Antediluvian.  
The self-distributed album caught the ear of forward-thinking metal label Profound Lore, who agreed to make it widely available for the first time with a proper release, putting the obscure trio within the elite circle of UK death metal dread alongside Grave Miasma, Curciamentum and Indesinence.
