Fuck the naysayers this album will warp the fabric of reality itself. Edit: You should be. Edit 2: This is probably the second best death metal of the year behind the new Ad Nauseam, can't stop listening.

Space and time have collapsed and I've found myself in a dark place. Abyssal makes it all worthwhile.

Hailing from the UK, the multi-instrumentalist known only as G.D.C. has been working at his atmospheric blackened death metal craft for four years now in the one man project called Abyssal, but several notable improvements have been made on this, his third LP. His use of melody in these tracks is impressive, with the eerie, ominous riff that dominates "Chrysalis" and the strangely uplifting end to "The Cornucopian". He also hired a studio drummer, Timo Hakkinen, to replace the drum machine implemented on his previous works, which turns out to a worthwhile investment, as the drumming seems much more natural and fluid this time around. Experimentation is also at work here, most notably on the track "Veil Of Transcendence", which features a music box-like piano which establishes itself just enough before being swallowed by massive riffs and low, unsettling vocals, but manages to survive the whole ordeal by the end. In short, this is a great release from Abyssal, who manages to shed some of the fat present on his previous releases to excellent results.

These guys couldn't get any less interesting, so here's hoping that they pull off something decent...
Edit: Damn. I'm offended....
Edit 2: I'll fukin smash you m8
Edit 3: This is only my second listen, but at this rate it looks like I might have to jump off a second-storey balcony and log off this site permanently... Fuck you abyssal.
Edit 4: Kinda grown on me... Still no greater than 2.5
