Hear Abyssous Descend Into Ambient Death-Metal Hell on New 'Mesa' EP

German band mixes claustrophobic textures, bulldozing heaviness on Iron Bonehead release

German death metallers Abyssous test the limits of the genre with the latest EP for Iron Bonehead, Mesa due on 11/1 (order yours). Just like the best black metal, death metal is just as much about mood and ambiance as it is about solid riffs, and Mesa is an excellent example of both.

Mixing ambient textures and interludes with full on bulldozing DM, Abyssous conjures thoughts of everything from Immolation to Portal to Incantation to Blasphemy, taking listeners on a perilous journey into the darkest of all black and beyond. Stream the 35-minute "mini-album" in full below for the first time.
