Abhoria announce debut self-titled album

ABHORIA have announced their debut album!

A self-titled effort, the upcoming album from the dystopian black metal trio (which features members of ASHEN HORDE, CATHETER and VIMANA) is their debut full-length effort and is scheduled to be released in February next year, marking their label debut at Prosthetic Records.

Speaking on signing with Prosthetic Records, the band comments, “we’re so excited to join the Prosthetic Records roster. It’s such an honor to be on the same label that not only brought 1349 and GOJIRA albums to the US, but has helped grow and support a slew of amazing metal bands over the years. We’re looking forward to finally getting the first ABHORIA album into your hands in 2022.”

The band recorded their debut album remotely, with each member contributing their elements from afar. In fact, the band only met up – and played together – after the album had been recorded. The record was engineered, mixed and mastered by Shane Howard [MARTRIDEN, HELLEBORUS] at Sawn & Quartered Studios.

Speaking about the upcoming debut album, guitarist and principal songwriter Vor comments, “there’s not a lot of hope on this album; it examines desperate people struggling to survive in an unrelenting world, as well as those who would seek to take advantage of others’ hopelessness.”

Alongside the announcement of the debut album, the band have released a new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming album; Mountebank.
