A Force From Finland
Formed in the Tampere area of Finland, Abysmal Rites are known for their primitive and brutal sound – a unique, heavy sludge approach created using only bass, drums, and vocals. The band’s powerful, minimalistic approach delivers an unmistakable intensity that leaves an impact long after the music stops.
Recorded deep within the Finnish forest, »Restoring The Primordial Order« captures the raw energy and authenticity that defines Abysmal Rites. The duo, known for their primal and brutal heavy/sludge sound, recorded the bass and drums live, ensuring that the album mirrors the intensity of their electrifying performances.
While their debut album was a journey of experimentation, »Restoring The Primordial Order« marks a significant evolution in their sound. The pieces have finally fallen into place, showcasing a solidified identity that resonates with their vision.
The album explores themes that explore the core of humanity and reflects on how our behaviors drive us toward inevitable destruction. Despite the wealth of information and opportunities available, humanity seems destined to veer toward a dead end – a realization that offers the band a strange sense of comfort. Abysmal Rites confronts the harsh truth of mankind’s struggle to coexist respectfully with each other and with nature itself.
