Abhoria announce new album ‘Depths’

ABHORIA have announced a new album!

Titled Depths, the upcoming album from the American black metal band is the follow-up to last year’s self-titled album, and is scheduled to be released in January next year, via Prosthetic Records.

Speaking about the upcoming album, guitarist Trevor Portz says, “Depths leans fully into the dystopian themes loosely explored on the first album. This album explores different extreme scenarios in which the inhabitants of the dystopian world are trying to survive. In each case, the true depths of human suffering are full display, hence the album title. It’s a look at how humans find a way to carry on despite being thrust into the most adverse circumstances… though, how much they retain their humanity is definitely not consistent. As Brutal Truth taught us, extreme conditions demand extreme responses.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, ABHORIA have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; The Well. Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, Portz says, “we were extremely fortunate to work with Kyle Lamar/Digital Myle on a concept video for The Well. Having seen his epic work with countless bands, I knew he’d capture the images I had in my head. I gave Kyle a rundown of the story, and could just see the wheels spinning as he was sorting out the visuals. It was so cool to see the story I imagined when writing the song come to life.

We shot it in the mountains outside Denver in December. It was about 20 degrees, and snowed intermittently. I’m thankful we weren’t actually playing live, because I lost feeling in my fingers about 10 minutes in. Maybe not the ideal weather for an all-day shoot, but it sure provided the perfect setting for the song. Besides the crew, the true heroes of the day were our actors. Their level of commitment was insane. Not only did they tough it out in the cold all day, but they climbed, ran, fell and truly embodied the agony of the characters they portrayed. At one point toward the end of the video, when they find the water source, I expected them to mime everything. But no—they full on broke the ice and scooped up handfuls of brutally cold water. Talk about getting into the role… infinite hails to the cast!”
