Description
Hailing from North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, ABYTHIC formed in 2015 and soon recorded & released their first demo, A Full Negation of Existence.
Their full-length debut, “Beneath Ancient Portals”, followed in 2018. 8 tracks of foul and churning Death Metal with an emphasis on downtempo segments that dive deep into thundering, desolate DOOM.
In many ways, Beneath Ancient Portals often recalls the proud and powerful class of mid-period Bolt Thrower, Asphyx, Grave, and Pentacle. 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. Simply mesmerizing stuff!
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.
