Abstracter Announces New Album "Wound Empire"

California's Abstracter has announced the band's upcoming second full-length album will be a cooperative release between Germany-based Vendetta Records and 7Degrees Records, Italy's Shove Records, UK-based Church of Fuck, and U.S. labels Fragile Branch Recordings, Sentient Ruin Laboratories, and An Out Recordings.

Drawing musical influence Godflesh, Amebix, Neurosis, His Hero is Gone, Blut Aus Nord, and Dystopia and conceptually influenced by the work of South African anti-natalist philosopher David Banatar, "Wound Empire" is a concept work that once again sees the band dwell in its obsession for massive and crushing riffing.

Crafted in near-seclusion over the past two years, "Wound Empire" is a forty-five minute hallucinating voyage into a frightening wasteland of complete darkness-ridden heaviness spread across four, ten minute-long, slabs of blackened doom.

This new album follows debut release, "Tomb of Feathers," which dropped in 2012 on The Path Less Traveled Records. "Wound Empire" was recorded this Spring at Earhammer Studios in Oakland by Greg Wilkinson and mastered at Audiosiege Mastering studios in Portland by Brad Boatright.
