Abyssidious are a solo project from the United Kingdom that plays a very psychedelic form of black metal and this is a review of his self released 2020 ep "Murk And Malice" which will be released in May.
A very fast, raw and lo-fi sound starts of the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched black metal screams while the solos and leads are also done in a very dark yet melodic style and melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing.
Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Dissonant and psychedelic elements are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording along with the music also having its atmospheric moments.
Clean playing can also be heard in some parts of the recording along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them as well as the music also capturing a very hallucinating atmosphere at times. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover drugs and occultism themes.
In my opinion Abyssidious are a very great sounding psychedelic black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Murk And Malice" and "Crooked Eagles In The Wake of Giants". 8 out of 10.
