ULCERATE, ABIGAIL

The New Zealand band ULCERATE has recently released their new dark piece, "Cutting the Throat of God," which elevates the ethereal, avant-garde, and technical death metal blasphemy to an even higher level. Many are already calling this work the album of the year. They are accompanied by the Venezuelan SELBST, which is essentially an introspective black metal solo project. With the help of additional musicians, we can now experience the soul-consuming dark melodies live! The Japanese cult-status band ABIGAIL needs no introduction. The black/thrash tornado delivers truly visceral, brutal music, led by a real black metal yakuza, Yasuyuki Suzuki! They have unleashed countless splits and smaller releases into the world, making it hard to keep track of them. The bottom line is that they hit hard! Two thrash metal bands accompany the samurais. PERPETUAL WARFARE attacks from Colombia on a classic line, while the Boston-based BLACK MASS spreads the word with a blackened sound.
