New World Depression - Abysmal Void [LP]

NEW WORLD DEPRESSION raise the furious spirits of earth and sea on their seventh full-length "Abysmal Void". The album's ten songs each represent a chapter filled with one or more of humanity's failures such as delusion, greed, destruction, and war. The German death metal veterans deliver an honest reckoning with the current state of the world - brutal, unfiltered, and unforgiving. "Abysmal Void" continues the dark thematic journey that began in 2020 with "Descent" and found it's continuation throughout the band's latest album "Interment of Sins" (2023). Musically, NEW WORLD DEPRESSION stay on track and true to their old school death metal roots, yet "Abysmal Void" received a healthy dose of more groove, more atmosphere, and more depth. Sound-smith Jörg Uken has honed the album to perfection at his famous Soundlodge Studio in East Frisia, which enjoys an excellent reputation in death metal circles and beyond. NEW WORLD DEPRESSION were founded in the historic Münsterland, to the north of the more famous Ruhr Area and with the once powerful bishopric and medieval city of Münster at it's centre, in the year 2005. The Germans started out with a more death'n'roll sound on the debut EP "The Last Step of Evolution" (2005) as their first public sign of life, which was followed by the full-length "Unseal Pandora's Curse" (2008). During their early development, NEW WORLD DEPRESSION began to shift gradually towards old school death metal by taking inspiration from bands such as ASPHYX, BOLT THROWER, and OBITUARY. With the release of "Decent" in 2020, the Germans finally opted for a professional production and label. NEW WORLD DEPRESSION take humanity to the edge of the abyss with all the musical expertise gained from many years of experience both live and in studio. Just remember, if you listen hard to the brutal death metal inferno of "Abysmal Void", the abyss might also become aware of you!
