Description

2018 re-issue with the first demo added as bonus

Beer! Metal! Sex! If these Japanese black thrashers had a war cry, this would be it. Self described as the most evil band in Japan Abigail formed in January 1992 by Yasuyuki (Bass/Vocal), Youhei (Drums) and Yasunori (Guitar). They were influenced by early black/thrash metal bands like Bathory, Venom, Sodom, Hellhammer, NME, Bulldozer etc. Since their first demo in 1992 Abigail’s output has been phenomenal. Their first full length album, Intercourse And Lust, was released back in 1996 and it has a raw aggressivness to it. The riffs are all very thrashy yet retain a black metal feel to them. The vocals are insane as it very high pitched and raspy. Hail Yakuza is a seven minute long track that incorporate lots of stuff from Japanese culture, like sounds from samurai movies. Overall it feels like a tribute to their homecountry. If you like extreme metal then check this out. Its thrash, speed and black in one.
