Abyssidious are a solo project from the United Kingdom that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for a psychedelic and dissonant form of black metal and this is a review of his 2026 ep "Malformed Light" which was released by Serpentine Star Convergence.\
A very fast and dissonant sound starts off the ep along with a great amount of blast beats while all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing as well as the vocals also adding in more of an angry black metal approach mixed in with a few growls.
Throughout the ep you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. At times the music goes into more of a psychedelic direction along with some synths and clean playing also being added into certain sections of the recording, when tremolo picking is added into the fast riffing they also give the songs more of a raw feeling and the closing track also adds in some guitar solos and leads.
On this recording Abyssidious brings out a very modern and dissonant form of occult black emtal with some psychedelic touches. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Occultism, Chaos and Violence themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Abyssidious and if you are a fan of dissonant, psychedelic and occult black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "To Drink From Dethroned Skulls". 8 out of 10.
