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 bands 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, 2022s explosive Black Blood, the bands first album for the revered label Candlelight Records, proved an undeniable milestone for the band. Abduction are of the UKs 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.
