Here's the offical press release from 20 Buck Spin
"Hailing from the Toronto sector of the Canadian province of Ontario,
ABYSS has locked a deal with Olympia, Washington’s 20 Buck Spin for the
release of the faction’s first full-length album, Heretical Anatomy.
Exploding
with a tenebrous style of Stygian, grinding death metal, witnessed
through two prior demos including The Reins Of Horror via Dark Descent
Records, Heretical Anatomy documents the first fully realized glimpse
into the dark surging ABYSS. Hideous shapes and bloodthirsty rites of
the Old Ones are viciously summoned upon the bones and bowels of the
Earth, through eight odes to nameless terrors and protean revulsion
mercilessly ripped from the flayed life of the cosmos and dripping with
crimson adoration. The frenzied blasting of early American and UK death
metal and grindcore, before a distinct separation between the two
existed, is a hallmark of Heretical Anatomy, yet the overwhelming speed
scattered throughout the album’s duration is expertly applied, never
descending into a one dimensional space where only velocity is the basis
for existence. Songs are crafted with the care of the elder gods,
rigorously refined with a seasoned sophistication, always maintaining a
sharply primitive ferocity. Joel Grind of Toxic Holocaust adds his touch
to the production, mixing and mastering this malformed death metal and
the horror of its Lovecraftian persona.
Heretical Anatomy will
arise from the iced realms of Ontario on LP and digital on April 14th,
2015, guaranteed to magnetize those who regularly feast upon the works
of Napalm Death, Exhumed, Repulsion, Impaled, Noisem, Terrorizer,
Carcass, Axis Of Advance, labelmates Mammoth Grinder, Bone Sickness and
more. Severed labs of pre-release audio and more on Heretical Anatomy
will permeate the airwaves in the coming weeks, including widespread
North American touring announcements. For now, the track listing and
album cover art by Toronto based Chris MacDonald have been released.
