Abigail Williams will appear as direct support to The Faceless begining October 17. The tour will precede the October 28 release date of "In the Shadow of a Thousand Suns," the band's eagerly anticipated full-length debut album.

Produced by James Murphy and featuring contributions from Trym Torson (Emperor/Zyklon), "In the Shadow of a Thousand Suns" features nine new songs from the band currently featuring keyboardist Ellyllon, bassist Plaguehammer, guitarists Mike Wilson and Bjornthor, drummer Samus with band founder/vocalist Sorceron.

"We couldn't be happier with the results," says vocalist Sorceron in review of the record. "The addition of Trym's legendary drumming and the experience on the production/mixing end that James brought to us has been priceless. This album wholly eclipses everything we've recorded in the past and we can't wait to begin playing the new material live."

In the Shadow of a Thousand Suns is easily one of the best melodic black metal albums since Enthrone Darkness Triumphant.

I grabbed it off of Demonoid. Mininova is a non-register site bound to have it. Definitely a cd I'm going to pick up physically once it's out.
