Review: Abominablood - Abominations Continues EP (2018)


Abominablood - Abomination Continues EP(2018)

Argentina

Cyclopean Eye Productions


Abominablood hail from Argentina and is the sole project of Warpig Venomous Abominator, who also plays in Vomit of Doom. Abomination Continues is the band’s follow-up to their 2017 album The Rotten Smell of the Entities that Murmur. The music is an assemblage of pure evil, primal black/death metal that echoes the likes of Von, Incantation, Blasphemy, etc., as well as newer bands like Necros Christos and Teitanblood. The guitars create a truly suffocating atmosphere that can be entrancing at times. The vocalist utilizes a deep and powerful growl that fits perfectly with the music. The drums, while nothing flashy, provides the perfect tempo to accentuate the overall feel. The music erupts like a volcano, sprinkled with shredding solos, as well eerie ambient pieces that enhance the mood. The overall tempo range from mid-tempo to fast and slower, more brooding passages. Even after about 10 spins, you’ll still find yourself fully submerged in the chaos. Abomination Continues clocks in at 32 minutes, featuring 8 tracks, with five actual songs and a few interludes thrown in. These interludes are actually very well done and act as "gateways" by creating a stark and ritual-like ambiance. There’s a definite occult feel that oozes from the music, and much like Von, Abominablood relies on simplicity and atmosphere to create an evil, hypnotic effect. Maniacs into filthy and sepulchral black/death metal –  this mini-album comes highly recommended.
