Abigail Williams- Legend (Candlelight)

Like many of the few that have become familiar with this band, I found out about them on Myspace. Yeah, that sounds pretty cliché now a days, but seriously, this has become such an important way to find out about new artists, it is hard not to recognize.

That said, I have become good friends with PR guy who deals with AW first hand; Dave Brenner, at Earsplit PR. He is an awesome guy, and is willing to help out us little people, in order to get these new artists noticed. So, when I heard that AW was going to put out a new E.P. I got right in touch with him to make sure that I received this disc as soon as possible. And like the reliable guy that he is, I got this new c.d. the other day.

Abigail Williams still produces the same art form that they have become known for, extreme blackened riffs, super tight drumming, speed picking, and all around eerie presence. Basically, they are a force to be reckoned with. Everything that I hear is superb, all music sounds completely original, the keys on this disc are not overbearing, but add a backdrop of haunting....The vocals contend to be the best among the greatest Black/Death metal bands, and everything that they do deserve the utmost metal elitist’s attention...

This album is not set for release for another few weeks, but save up a couple of bucks to purchase this release when it comes out, because I promise that you will not be disappointed. And if you are, than you have no business what so ever reading this review!!!
