Abstracter Streaming New Track "Lightless"

With Oakland, California-based Abstracter's second full-length, "Wound Empire," nearing release in early February, an ominous foretaste of the album's wretchedness has been leaked via Cvlt Nation. Check out "Lightless" below.

Boasting an apocalyptic view on the future of our planet and its occupants, Abstracter's harsh output surges with influences from across the extreme underground music spectrum, a crushing blackened sludge infiltrated with elements of noise, black metal and psychedelic wrath.

The album was recorded and mixed at Earhammer Studios in Oakland, California by Greg Wilkinson (Brainoil, Pallbearer, Noothgrush, etc.) and mastered at Audiosiege Mastering studios in Portland, Oregon by Brad Boatright (Wolves In The Throne Room, Nails, Sunn O))), Sleep, etc.). Wound Empire's cover art and layout was handled by the band's friend Kevin Gan Yuen of Sutekh Hexen.

Set for official release on February 10th, 2015, "Wound Empire" will be available on 12" vinyl LP through Fragile Branch Recordings (US), Vendetta Records (EU/DE), 7 Degrees Records (EU/DE) and Shove Records (EU/IT), on CD by COF Records (formerly known as Church Ov Fuck - UK), on cassette tape co-released by Sentient Ruin in collaboration with An Out Recordings, and digitally again through Sentient Ruin.
