ABOMINANT "Upon Black Horizons" /CD/

The ninth full-length studio album by American Death Metal band.
Kentucky's masters finally arrived with 8 tracks of pummelling Extreme Metal!
There is always something to be said for persistence, and perhaps Abominant are one of our most stalwart American lessons in this virtue, having released nine full-length albums, all but hidden from mainstream recognition, offering nothing more than the purest of Death Metal aesthetics that conjure up the Florida blasting of a Morbid Angel or Malevolent Creation, with a tinge of the good old Dutch style of Sinister and Pestilence.
Year after year and an album after another, Abominant has been cranking up new material since mid 90s and never reaching big fame. This is understandable in the context that the band most certainly aren’t innovating anything new, but on the other hand, their newest output "Where Demons Dwell" is a great listen. Perhaps the album serves as the proper catalyst to a re-evaluation of the veterans' backlog, because this is a well-written, mature album that clenches the attention span through most of its eight compositions.
Nothing could be sweeter than hearing a veteran band like this, far off the radars of most of the Nile, Suffocation and Cannibal Corpse worshipping Death Metal flock, create one of their most enduring pieces, and their long relationship with Deathgasm Records seems to have paid off. An American band, performing 90s style death metal without any trace of trendiness or bullshit...
"Where Demons Dwell" is the soundtrack to total nuclear fallout!!

The tenth full-length studio album by American Death Metal band.
Two decades of violent Death Metal warfare have led Abominant to this unrelenting and brutal statement of USDM  - their most unrelenting and brutal material to date!
Vocalist Mike Barnes & Co keep the Old-school Death Metal flame lit with ultra low growling, razor sharp fast riffing and furiously relentless blast beats. Album features a bizarre contribution from Clive Jones of legendary 70s Occult Rock band Black Widow.
"Onward To Annihilation" is a formidable piece of Death Metal, performed just the way you know it will. Featuring the band's most memorable collection of material to date, including a wicked cover of Hypocrisy's "Left to Rot" and a refreshing molten Metal surprise called "Hold Your Ground", "Onward To Annihilation" is Abominant's career best!!

The eleventh full-length studio album by American Death Metal band.
The songs on "Napalm Reign" have a good amount of variety, pacing and structuring, within the framework the band have set themselves. The Classic/Power/Speed Metal influences (“Iron Clad” and “Scream in the Night”) help to add another aspect to their sound. It all adds up to something very special indeed. Leads and solos are all used well, and throughout the aggression and brutality the band infuse things with a sense of melody that shows off their songwriting skills to great effect. 
The band consists of all accomplished musicians, as they should be at this point in their career, and the songs on "Napalm Reign" are all performed as well as you would expect. Although it’s professionally delivered, the band still have a real passion for the material, that much is evident, which is great to hear after 23 years of existence.
Oh, and they really know how to play fast when they want to. Hold on to your hat when you listen to this!
