ABSTRACTER: Vice Magazine Premieres "Cruciform" From Apocalyptic Oakland Outfit

Wound Empire Record Release Show Confirmed

 

 

With a nearly ten-and-a-half minute surge of harrowing crust/sludge superiority, "Cruciform" -- the new single from Oakland, California's apocalyptic ABSTRACTER and their impending Wound Empire LP -- leaches itself to the populace internationally via Vice Magazine.

 

Boasting an apocalyptic view on the future, ABSTRACTER's harsh output surges with crushing, blackened sludge infiltrated with elements of noise, black metal and psychedelic wrath, and Wound Empire boasts the band's most demoralizing elements to date, its four massive movements consuming forty-two minutes. 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. Vice Magazine releases the third track, "Cruciform," inciting, "Oakland doom band ABSTRACTER must figure the end is coming any day now, so they've written the apocalypse a theme song... Listen to 'Cruciform' nice and loud while you browse WWI chemical warfare photos on Google. You can almost smell the fire and brimstone."

 

Open the gateway to "Cruciform" at Vice Magazine now at THIS LOCATION.

 

Also experience the LP's "Lightless" opener at Cvlt Nation RIGHT HERE.

 

ABSTRACTER has also confirmed a hometown record release show for Wound Empire, set to take place on March 7th in Oakland, the band also joined by Dispirit, Alaric and Church. Additional sporadic live actions will be declared in the coming weeks.
