After the Candlelight Records debut ‘Black Blood’, masked purveyors of mayhem and Black Metal trailblazers Abduction return with their brand-new album ‘Existentialismus’ on February 21st 2025. The record, arguably the band’s most electrifying, emotionally complex and personal recording to date, is inspired by the juxtaposition of a post-truth era against the simpler truths of ancient religions and crumbling past, the observations of the modern world.After an incredibly prolific recording run that saw a trilogy of albums released from 2017 to 2019, 2022’s explosive Black Blood, the band’s first album for the revered label Candlelight Records, proved an undeniable milestone for the band.Abduction are of the UK’s most visible black metal acts on the live circuit, bringing their ritualistic and immersive performances to audiences at Damnation, Bloodstock, Incineration, Fortress, Doomsday, Mass Destruction, Samhain, Reaperfest and Eradication.Existentialismus has been recorded, for the first time, as a full band. That sense of scale is palpable and reflects the ambition and embittered grandeur of the new material, an impressively cohesive combination of otherworldly atmospheres, fiery aggression and apocalyptic tension.The album, written by A|V was recorded by Ian Boult and mastered by Tore Stjerna (Watain, Mayhem). The band will be supporting New Zealand Death Metal trio Ulcerate in Germany as well as their own headline UK tour this October.Tracklisting:1. A Legacy of Sores2. Pyramidia Liberi3. Truth is as Sharp a Sword as Vengeance4. Blau ist die Farbe der Ewigkeit5. Razors of Occam6. Vomiting at Baalbek
