The long-running Italian black metallers Abhor unveiled the new track "Ceremonia Daemonis Antichristi", taken from the band's eighth album, Sex Sex Sex (Ceremonia Daemonis Antichristi), set for international release on the 23rd of September via Iron Bonehead Productions. You can listen to the "Ceremonia Daemonis Antichristi" below.
Abhor are a veritable institution of Italian black metal. Formed in 1995 in the northeast of Italy, the band began with a passion for black metal music and the study of esoteric arts. Less like a band and more like a congregation, Abhor represent a form of global art that embraces musical art, visual art, and literal art. Their first musical manifestation came in 1998, with the first demo tape In Tuo Honori Preparatum. From there, Abhor were off and running, subsequently releasing six albums with a variety of labels, doing honorable underground work.
Sex Sex Sex brings a spooky sensuality to Abhor's trademark style of olde-worlde black metal. With both Hammer Horror organs to the fore and a macho headbanging stomp, the Italians create a canvas of arcane mysteries and ancient metal might, foregoing so much of the fluff that's characterized post-"second wave" black metal and striking true(r) to the sound of the Old Gods: Celtic Frost, Mortuary Drape, Varathron, Samael, and even very earliest Mayhem. It's more of "no more, but no less" esoteric horror black metal, but still suffused with an undeniable energy and electricity, even when creeping slowly through those catacombs. It's an immediately recognizable sound that's neither regressive nor progressive, and Abhor conjure it with enviously effortless zeal. Link
