Static Abyss’ are back with their third studio album, and with the addition of Chad Gailey of fellow death merchants Necrot behind the drumkit for this release, »The Dying Hunt« plummets the listener into the festering, psychedelic swamps of lunacy, with the spiralling melodies texturing the relentless savage riffs for an effective nightmare-inducing trip through the sonic abyss. Continuously and relentlessly flitting between brutal passages and hypnotic otherworldly craziness, »The Dying Hunt« reflects the ailing world & the unravelling of the psyche of its inhabitants in this darkly dystopian landscape, for a masterful descent into sick death metal combined with crust and doom elements.

Emerging in the early 2020’s – Static Abyss is a monstrous hybrid of twisted, doom-laden brutal death, comprising of longstanding members of the US metal scene. The band consists primarily of the duo of Deathgrave’s Greg Wilkinson (guitars/bass) & Chris Reifert (vocals), both also members of legendary American masters of sickness, Autopsy, with Chris also notably starting his career with genre pioneers, Death. The band’s debut, »Labyrinth Of Veins« was released in 2022, and their second album »Aborted From Reality« followed in quick succession, surfacing in 2023.
