Details: After their Candlelight Records debut, Black Blood, masked purveyors of mayhem and Black Metal trailblazers Abduction return with their brand-new album Existentialismus. The record, arguably the band's most electrifying, emotionally complex and personal recording to date, is inspired by the juxtaposition of a post-truth era against the simpler truths of ancient religions and a crumbling past; the observations of the modern world. Existentialismus was recorded, for the first time, as a full band. That sense of scale is palpable and reflects the ambition and embittered grandeur of the new material. The result is an impressively cohesive combination of otherworldly atmospheres, fiery aggression and apocalyptic tension.
