Abigail Williams Announces Special Edition Debut Album "In The Shadow Of A Thousand Suns"

Candlelight Records has announced two limited edition versions of Abigail Williams debut album, "In the Shadow of a Thousand Suns," which will be released on January 12th. The deluxe edition will feature a bonus disc containing five previously unavailable tracks plus the band's video for the song “Into the Ashes.”

Discussing the deluxe edition, vocalist/guitarist Sorceron commented “The first song, 'I Am (God)' is a new song that signifies the first collaboration between new keyboard player Alana and myself. 'In Death Comes the Great Silence' reveals a new direction that the band has been working towards over the last year while 'Infernal Divide' is another new song that once again redefines that Abigail Williams sound. This track was recorded quite raw and has a strong black metal influence. 'Waiting for the Rain' is a somber interlude we have been using a bit during live shows and the last track is the demo version of 'Floods.' I felt it was important to include this track because it captures the vibe of the song better than the album track; perhaps due to the work of original drummer Zack Gibson.”

The video for "Into the Ashes" was filmed under the London Bridge in late 2008. Sorceron recalls, “we were in this dungeon-like area that they used to store dead bodies in. We felt right at home, minus the smell, of course."
