Static Abyss Debuts New Lyric Video
Static Abyss has unveiled a second cut from the forthcoming album, "Aborted From Reality" released today. You can check out the lyric video for "Cathedral Of Vomit" below.
The video for which was directed by Matthew Vickerstaff once more and reverberates the sense of the grandiose morbidity that Static Abyss dwell in. Adorned by slime green walls and in the middle of a hellish inferno it’s the perfect visual accompaniment for the track.
Speaking on the single the band had the following to say:
"There it is on the horizon…are those actual windows on the outside or just reflections of what you hope to find inside? The only way to find out is to make the quest and enter. You may not like what you find inside but it will be too late to turn back. Also…you will not be alone." – Chris Reifert
"Aborted From Reality" follows swiftly on from Static Abyss’ 2022 debut, "Labyrinth Of Veins"; itself a wild and contagious ride through a nightmarish soundscape. This album presents a stark contrast between a brutal wall of riffs and crawling darkly hypnotic guitar leads burying themselves under the skin, and combines for a sick and unnerving experience through Death Metal combined with Crust and Doom elements. Chris’ unmistakable vocals come spewing from the depths of insanity in this soundtrack to an anxiety-filled dimension, backing up the twisted riffs from Greg’s own cauldron of mental chaos.
"Aborted from Reality" was recorded at Earhammer Studios in Oakland, CA, with engineering, mixing and mastering overseen by Greg himself. Following on from the debut release, cover art appears once again courtesy of All Things Rotten. More...

Unearthing the Metal Underground: Static Abyss
For this weekly column, I typically like to dig into the underground for either undiscovered, new talent or bands that have been around but have remained under the radar in spite of their high-caliber music. Once in a while, however, I’ll spotlight familiar underground faces who have congealed into formidable new entities. Case in point: A couple of members of the pioneering death metal beast Autopsy have banded together to create Static Abyss, a paradoxically primal and majestic expression of death/doom metal. Peaceville Records will release their debut album, “Labyrinth of Veins,” tomorrow on multiple formats. More...
Static Abyss Posts New Lyric Video Online
Following on from the announcement from Autopsy’s Chris Reifert and Greg Wilkinson, that they have joined forces to create a new mouthpiece for a rotten age - Static Abyss and their debut studio album entitled "Labyrinth Of Veins" will be let loose on Peaceville on 22nd April. The duo have premiered a new lyric video, created by Matthew Vickerstaff, for the album’s title track.
"'Labyrinth Of Veins' slowly crawls evolving into a cacophonous wall of gloom. Unlike 'Jawbone Ritual,' this track remains slow and evil from front to back." explains Greg Wilkinson.
Static Abyss' debut studio album, "Labyrinth Of Veins," is an unnerving, multi-layered eerie concoction of dirty doom and death, Chris Reifert states the album themes are to “explore the echoes of insanity manifested through human existence.” The result; a sinister onslaught of, at times, slow and bludgeoning brutal metal whilst at others whipped into a storm of chaotic vile hysterics. The spirit of Autopsy is at times present in the truly titanic riffs swathed in chilling atmospheric guitar leads, whilst Chris’ seemingly bottomless pit of morbid inspiration from the dark & twisted corners of life permeate the release with his highly distinguishable delivery to further the descent into madness.
"Labyrinth of Veins" was recorded at Earhammer Studios in Oakland, CA, & Great American Music Hall, with engineering, mixing and mastering overseen by Greg himself. With the cover art appears courtesy of All Things Rotten. More...
