New An Abstract Illusion LP, Sept 9th 2022-06-30 by Fernando Alves | 14 Comments | Progressive/atmospheric death/black metal trio An Abstract Illusion will be releasing their sophomore full-length Woe on September 9th via Willowtip Records. Take a peek at the new single, 'Slaves', below.
A note from An Abstraction Illusion about the lyrics:
"The over-arching concept for the album is groups, people or institutions oppressing others they perceive as beneath them. Removal of rights to bodily autonomy, child abuse, honour-based violence. The POV is taking on the role of the oppressor in the lyrics to "Slaves" (song title is another hint)."
Woe was mixed/mastered by Robin Leijon (Equilibrium, ATENA, and In Dying Arms). Artwork was done by Adam Burke.
Tracklist:
1. The Behemoth That Lies Asleep
2. Slaves
3. Tear Down This Holy Mountain
4. Prosperity
5. Blomsterkrans
6. In The Heavens Above, You Will Become A Monster
7. This Torment Has No End, Only New Beginnings
Preorders begin Friday July 1st.

FINALLY!!! Been waiting for a follow-up to Illuminate the Path, song is a gorgeous slapper
| | |
I loved their debut, but this track isn't doing much for me unfortunately
| | |
are we not gonna talk about those lyrics?
| | |
Damn, didn't know bands were still doing reddit atheist lyrics. Also I dislike the vocals.

Returned to actually pay attention to the lyric video, wow yeah that's not good :/
| | |
Gross. I love death metal and slam but I draw the line at the constant rape references. This is borderline criminal.

The way I see it is exactly the opposite. The narrative is condemning the abusive oppression on women - "HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN" - the ignorant man's argument. The second half of the lyrics dresses the skin of the abuser/aggressor. I believe there's a cross-cutting concept to this.

Hello, Karl from An Abstract Illusion here.
The over-arching concept for the album is groups, people or institutions oppressing others they perceive as beneath them. Removal of rights to bodily autonomy, child abuse, honour-based violence. TheNotrap is correct, the POV is taking on the role of the oppressor in the lyrics to "Slaves" (song title is another hint).

Additional note included.

New song rules Karl, can't wait for the album to drop
| | |
This song goes hard as fuck. Lyrics aren't really quality to me, but it's obviously condemning violence/aggressions towards women like Notrap said. The narrator doesn't always have to be like "This is bad/I hate this" outwardly in the lyrics to make commentary on how the behavior in question isn't okay.

"Gross. I love death metal and slam but I draw the line at the constant rape references. This is borderline criminal."
They could even be referring to life or to earth as a woman.
You need to up those interpretation skills homie.
That said, music is amazing, lyrics... mmm not so much.

"Gross. I love death metal and slam but I draw the line at the constant rape references. This is borderline criminal."
Yeah, I agree. I'm going to listen to Fucked With A Knife by Cannibal Corpse instead.
