ABYTHIC set release date for new IRON BONEHEAD mini-album, reveal first track

Today, Iron Bonehead Productions sets May 27th as the international release date for a brand-new mini-album from Abythic, Eden of the Doomed, on CD and 12″ vinyl formats.

It was but early 2021 when Abythic revealed their masterful third album, Dominion of the Wicked, via Iron Bonehead. Reaping widespread acclaim, Dominion of the Wicked displayed the Germans at their most DOOMED-OUT…and their brand-new Eden of the Doomed mini-album continues this upward “downward” trend. Impossibly heavy and portending and patient in their stripped-back but nuanced songwriting, Abythic again give a masterclass in pure ‘n’ proud death metal songwriting steeped in the grand teachings of mid-period Bolt Thrower, Asphyx, Grave, and Pentacle. Indeed, keeping that same power-trio lineup handily underlines the POWER within the no-less-atmospheric crush ‘n’ cruise; the production, in kind, is sharp and shuddering. Consider Eden of the Doomed a brief-but-robust bookend to Dominion of the Wicked and you’ll once again be under Abythic‘s black-ash spell!

Hear the first spell with the brand-new track “Conquest of the One True Creed” here:

ABYTHIC set release date for BLOOD HARVEST debut, reveal first track

Today, Blood Harvest Records sets May 11th as the international release date for Abythic’s highly anticipated debut album, Beneath Ancient Portals, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.

Hailing from North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, Abythic formed in 2015 and soon recorded & released their first demo, A Full Negation of Existence. Aptly titled, the demo portrayed four foul tracks of churning death metal of a most early ’90s mold. Alas, that was an all-too-brief teaser for Beneath Ancient Portals, the band’s full-length debut. Also aptly titled, Beneath Ancient Portals sees Abythic taking the demo’s same rudiments – patient and pulsing riffing, linear composition, an emphasis on doomy downtempo segments – and brings them to fuller fruition, diving deeper and deadlier into thundering, desolate DOOM. In many ways, Beneath Ancient Portals often recalls the proud ‘n’ powerful class of mid-period Bolt Thrower, Asphyx, Grave, and Pentacle, so hypnotically heaving is their dreadnought weight here. But in other ways, Abythic put their own stamp on doomy death metal through a potently occult aura…or one that sounds like a crypt slowly opening, all before a rust- and blood-covered tank rolls forward out of it, crushing all in its path. It’s simply mesmerizing either way.

Completed by absolutely devastating production, Beneath Ancient Portals will surely be hailed as one of the year’s best and mightiest death metal debuts. Old school, new school, no school: nothing matters but sheer devastating weight, and Abythic possess a fuckton of it. Hear for yourself with the new track “Abandoned Tombs on Ungodly Grounds” HERE.
