WarlockMythic This album makes you hit yourself in the nuts with a flaming crowbar. It reeks of raw energy mixed with some more civilized, progressive tones. Still, it's enough to make you go ooga booga and smash a bottle of stout beer against your head. Really interesting composition and a fine addition to every metal enthusiast's collection.

1.
i encounter you in myself you have left your mark stuffed with gluttonous heaps i sit and wonder why an opening world that now seems so close this eventuality this spark of hope it soaks through me nourishes me watery matter that now sits on top of my skin even though i moved away and moved apart it does not ache anymore my spoiled heart
2.
abysmal tender notions flashing in the tunnel of my very eyes inverted scenery innards go out embodied once meta- centered lines onset lies of perception a narrative falling in itself failing on behalf of a receiving end sucking everything will spit out a twisted bastard crying for attention crying for help
3.
anxious spastics a vexed strain rope tightens hung inside drones charring epidermal laceration external force twitched veil void
4.
Molten Husk 02:58
what pulls me what sheds my skin divergence molten flesh assembled and reassembled disassembled and rearranged liquid entity holding a body thorn will tear a hole into this fleeting shell melting deranged dysphoric wearing myself as a mask tearing myself, a husk bulging throat stuttering, murmuring
5.
horror harbored in the eyes of man led astray by an absent voice admidst the storm a rendition of truth billions of voices guiding the way admidst the storm a rendition of truth
6.
Possessor 02:39
(instrumental)
7.
shimmered into existence by a strain of thought you hold me in your arms when will I feel your presence again only in self there is profound pumping wishing feeling oh how you ache and bulge i fear you stop
8.
cacophony of the streets a shriek a hidden melody cracking through the concrete incomprehensible vowels choked by the sedimenting feeling of perpetual constant longing
9.
essence absorbed painful remembrance sentimental values words behind your teeth just echos resonating in the hall of mirrors
10.
structured by imagination signs of difference what can make one whole? oppressive effects of mimikry
11.
Obliteration 03:02
overwhelmed by splendor in my own terms new life in my veins figurative light glimmers inside waiting for the final call of what’s to come drowned within belittled and overcome by thoughts of doubt the pallor and rusted sheen always persists

about

Following up the critically acclaimed 'Bonds Of Euphoria' LP, Abest have come back swinging with an even more unruly mix between metal and hardcore. 'Molten Husk' is their most forward thinking work yet, finding the band breaking through the barriers of contemporary post metal. It continues where 'Bonds Of Euphoria' left off but pushes the boat out even further, incorporating influences from different genres as well as a constant personal and musical progression.

Leadsingle 'Into A Mirrored Hall' showcases the immense diversity that Abest’s new LP is bringing to the table. While songs like 'The Twitched Veil' or 'Cognitive Empathy' move on in strange ways until suddenly proceeding into pulverizing and dissonant heaviness, 'Into A Mirrored Hall' presents a more straight forward songwriting with bulldoze riffs, distorted vocals and precise drumming that are bringing to mind reminiscences of Cult Leader, Yautja and Full Of Hell.

'Molten Husk' is another concerted progression from Abest’s early material. Again recorded by Jan Oberg (Downfall Of Gaia, Deathrite) and featuring contributions by Denise (Tuliips), Lars (Sun Worship, Ultha) and Yannick (Farson), the record is leaving nearly no room to breathe. A crushingly oppressive experience that is expanding the band‘s sound into new and extreme spheres.

"Molten Husk finds the band pushing forward both, sonically and material-wise and challenging themselves and listeners alike with its relentless, unsettling approach." - Decibel Magazine

"By not playing it safe or sticking to the script, Abest managed to create something far more interesting, and far more rewarding than many of their peers." - No Clean Singing

"Abest are both devastatingly savage and unrelenting in equal measure and it’s a beautiful thing to behold." - Musipedia Of Metal

"At the end of Molten Husk, Abest will challenge what you think about post-metal." - Angry Metal Guy
