Arguably the pioneers of death metal in Australia, Abramelin have completed their fourth full length studio album, ‘Sins of the Father’, available now, and released through internationally renowned label Hammerheart Records. Following on from their very well-received 2020 release, ‘Never Enough Snuff’, ‘Sins of the Father’ is an all-out brutal death metal assault on the senses; while lyrically, it continues to push the boundaries of horror and depravity.
Vocalist Simon Dower comments on the new album: ‘Sins of the Father’ is not a themed album, but rather a collection of grotesque tales inspired by massive amounts of extreme horror literature that I devour. We are very happy with the way that ‘Sins of the Father’ has come out; both musically and packaging overall. A lot of time and effort has gone into the Sins artwork to give the fans something special for their collections; something fresh and innovative that we feel no one else has really gone to such lengths before to do. We are also super excited to belt out some tracks from Sins at the forthcoming Pestilence tour, which will also double-up as our East Coast album launch shows.
The majority of the tracks on ‘Sins Of The Father’ were written by Matt Wilcock (Ackercocke, Werewolves) with all beats from the legendary David Hayley (Psycroptic). Long time member (in various guises), Rob Mollica (Earth, Butterfly) has even chimed with a song ‘Last Rite’ which brings some great variety in the musical arrangement of the new album. Inspired by 40+ years of horror fiction & film, lyrics by Simon Dower, as they were with ‘Never Enough Snuff’, are a deep exploration into all things grotesque and horrific in nature. With influences drawn from a variety of splatter punk and extreme horror authors, the lyrics, in usual Abramelin style, are not for the faint of heart.
