The
sheer intensity that the album emanates is at a colossal level, first through
the insane vocals, varying from demonic growls, shrieks, to screams of anger,
anguish and despair. There is quite the nuance throughout J’s fierce and
genuine performance, which is worthy of careful attention along with the other
most notable (and my favorite) aspect of the album– those ready for war drums.
There are several atmosphere-building slow to mid paced parts throughout,
but its essence lies on the explosion of deadly and almost militaristic
pummeling that is carefully accented and relentless in its attack. The guitars
are just as menacing, nothing but unholy riffs prepared to destroy, no solos,
not much technicality, just heavy as hell tones that instill a sense of danger
and primitive survival. Monstrous growls along cavernous atmospheric passages
can also be found in tracks such as “Les Dents Du Gouffre,” which along with
“Le Ventre Monde”are my favorite due to their variation of sounds, pace and
atmospheres; successfully portraying a crushingly detailed narrative of pure
devastation.
L'abime
dévore les âmes isn’t an album that will evoke any sense of melancholy or
gloom, it’s vicious and nightmarish in its description of chaos so that the
tortured minds of those that relish in Death/Black hatred might find solace or
even some enjoyment. Among other acts of similar tone or atmosphere, the likes of Beherit, Archgoat, Diocletian, Revenge, Heresiarch, Nuclearhammer and Vesicant quickly come to mind and the message is clear –Hell, whether it exists in another plane, here on Earth or in our own tortured human minds, is real.
