Blackstar Foundation låter hälsa att
ABANDONS svanesång THE DEAD END nu finns att förhandsbeställa från deras
webshop. THE DEAD END innehåller 2 skivor med speltid över 100 minuter och löjligt snygg ångestdrypande artwork, skapat av avlidne frontmanen Johan Carlzon.
Doomsdayredaktionen lovar och svär att det här är den bästa skivan som kommer komma i år, om man gillar långsam skit alltså, eller den kommer va bäst i alla fall. Så skit i alla light Doom och Sludge band, kolla in råheten på det här och skäms, KÖÖÖÖP!!!
Så här skriver Abandon själva om THE DEAD END
Written and rehearsed for three years, recorded live in the end of 2005. Vocals recorded fragmentarily during the following years due to constant storms of adversity. Finally completed in the spring of 2009, our over 100 minutes long double album THE DEAD END has really taken its toll on us.
This will be a posthumous release for our singer Johan Carlzon who passed away last december. We’re confident that the lyrics, vocal delivery and artwork on this album will stand as a proud monument of his unique talent and person. From working with very barren sonic landscapes on our last album In Reality We suffer (recorded in 2002), we really tried to push things forward this time with new member Mehdi Vafaei’s pump organ adding a thick and mournful voice to the mix and letting us write with greater freedom.
We gave it all on this one. Johan will be remembered!
The record comes in a Ecologically produced Ecopack made from recycled paper and instead of cellophane wrapping we have choosed to use a more eco friendly pvc bag.
Johan Carlzon’s artwork on this release is truly astonishing.
