ABDUCTION

One of the fastest-rising UK black metal acts of current times, Abduction first surfaced in late 2016 with a three song demo. Attracting the attention of Lithuanian label Inferna Profundus, this one-man project released the debut album 'To Further Dreams Of Failure' in 2017 to positive reviews. Maintaining the momentum, Abduction have released an album a year, with 2018's 'A Crown Of Curses' (released by UK labels Death Kvlt and Clobber) and 2019's 'All Pain As Penance' (released as a co-release by Inferna Profundus and Apocalyptic Witchcraft) boosting the band's profile considerably. Possessing a haunting and spectral quality, while nevertheless making use of big, memorable riffs and emotive songwriting, the result is an otherworldly and atmospheric (but surprisingly visceral and satisfying) black metal assault.
