New Album ‘Existentialismus’ Out February 21st via Candlelight — PRE-ORDER HERE
Live Dates Announced

UK extreme metal collective ABDUCTION has released a new single, “Blau ist die Farbe der Ewigkeit,” from their forthcoming album, ‘Existentialismus,’ set to be released on February 21, 2025 via Candlelight.

The new track is a harrowing exploration of the band’s signature sound, a masterful amalgamation of otherworldly atmospheres, searing aggression, and apocalyptic tension. “Blau ist die Farbe der Ewigkeit” offers a chilling, yet cohesive glimpse into the bleak, introspective universe the band continues to craft, drawing their listeners into a sonic abyss that is as unforgiving as it is captivating.

With ‘Existentialismus,’ ABDUCTION continues to push the boundaries of extreme metal, their sound a fierce embodiment of nihilistic intensity. And as the album’s release date draws near, “Blau ist die Farbe der Ewigkeit” serves as a potent warning of the darkness yet to come.

Comments vocalist A|V:

“The city swine are feasting, eyes fixated on all that is surplus, transitory, and inane. 
“All at once was the flood. 
“Unwilling rats, unknowing of their stench.
“Spiralling towards the sewer… 
“Perfect.”

Following their 2022 album, ‘Black Blood,’ which showcased the band’s fiercely expansive sound, ABDUCTION is now poised to push their musical boundaries even further. With many bands currently paying homage to black metal’s glory years and just as many attempting to connect unrelated workings to that legacy, ABDUCTION‘s music manages to be both recognizably authentic and imbued with its own spirit. And never has this been truer than in the new album, ‘Existentialismus.’

The band will also be hitting the road for a series of exclusive live dates in March, bringing the intensity of ‘Existentialismus‘ to the stage in support of the album’s release.

Existentialismus’ Track List:

1. A Legacy of Sores
2. Pyramidia Liberi
3. Truth is as Sharp a Sword as Vengeance 
4. Blau ist die Farbe der Ewigkeit
5. Razors of Occam
6. Vomiting at Baalbek

Having become one of the UK’s most visible black metal acts on the live circuit, bringing their ritualistic and immersive performances to audiences at club shows and festivals such as DamnationBloodstockIncinerationFortress, Mass Destruction, Samhain, Reaperfest, and Eradication, ‘Existentialismus‘ has been recorded, for the first time, as a full band.

“It’s inspired by the juxtaposition of this horrible post-truth era with its contradictions and the simple, metaphorical truths that began in ancient religions of the crumbling past. Somewhere between a biblical gospel and a Nietzschean nightmare. As a father, there’s a particular terror in seeing all that our grandfathers built, physically and morally, being torn apart and reduced to a commodity and wondering what kind of world my son will inherit.”

“I am by no means a philosopher – I desperately lack the patience,” A|V admits. “But my observations of the modern Western humane race have become particularly bleak, and this informs my lyrical writing process. Art as a reaction to life and experience. This is laid out in the first track, ‘A Legacy of Sores‘, which posits that most of us here, in the current year, have become an alarming pairing of being both too sensitive and yet without any core beliefs to stand on. (‘Wet skin now paper thin, reveals a core of dust’) I think this is a mixture of a post-religious society and the acceleration of technology to the point at which its claws are deeply in us. Have you tried to live without a smartphone recently?”

Existentialismus was recorded and produced by Ian Boult at Stuck On A Name Studios in Nottingham, while the final touches of post-production and mastering were handled by Tore Stjerna (WatainMayhemDeströyer 666) at Necromorbus Studios in Sweden. The striking and immersive cover art is the work of Julia Soboleva.
