ABDUCTION Black Blood (2022 Czech pressed UK/EU limited edition 6-track vinyl LP - Formed in 2016 as a shadowy single-man entity, Abduction have made astonishingly fast progress, carving a fearsome reputation for themselves as a standout act in an increasingly crowded extreme metal scene. 'Black Blood' is their most ambitious and rewarding album to date. Recorded with producer Ian Boult, this nightmarish yet entrancing listen pushes Abduction into new territories without straying from their core sound. From the hypnotically earnest and haunting opener 'In Exaltation of the Supreme Being', to the expansive 11-minute epic 'Plutonian Gate', with its marked progressive and psychedelic overtones, to the blend of uncompromising, stripped-down black metal and slower, almost post-metal textures of 'A Psylacybic Death', it is an intense and dynamic experience.
