Hailing from Guatemala, Abyssum have been flying the flag of black metal obscurity since 1994. The duo of Akherra and Rex Ebvleb have doggedly pursued a sound and vision always at odds with the trends in the scene; their uncompromising, olde-worlde black metal isn't for the masses anyway. This is a long-overdue reissue of Abyssum's sinister second album, "Poizon of God". Originally released in 2009 but in extremely limited quantities (Central / South America only), "Poizon of God" could have come out in 1999 or even 1989, so ancient is its magick and muse. Its grim atmosphere fully transports the listener to times long lost and locales far away from the sun. Resolutely raw yet somehow refined in a barbarically sophisticated way, Abyssum's songwriting is both progressive and regressive, with the incorporation of spacey synths and desolate acoustics elevating the album well beyond the oblivion-overload characteristic of equatorial metal. Authentically unorthodox. File next to Necromantia, Mortuary Drape, Behemoth and Gehenna. Limited edition (unspecified) with a full-size double-sided insert featuring a bi-lingual essay from the band.
