Abigail Williams strikes GOLD

Being weary of "black metal' bands, I was cautious upon listening to these guys. However, being non-satanic, with unique lyrics..the album's solid!

The vocals mainly consist of highs, screeching and the over-dubs of low and high layered. Sounding eerie and ferocious, it's some of the best vocals.

Guitars: The riffs are so classic sounding toward some of the most well know, early black metal bands. Very melodic, fast, intricate and amazing.

Drums: Oh man! Samus, the drummer, can play at incredible speed and has very well thought out fills. A very underrated drummer.

Keyboards: Ashley Ellylon, whom is very pretty, is classically trained and it explodes with melody into these 10 tracks. She can play, too bad she's with Cradle of Filth now. :/

Lyrics: As I said, unlike most, they're not Satanic or don't hint at it. They're very dark, will appeal to many and are killer.

"Driven to madness the moon speaks to no one
Spheres of darkness perpetual through the aeons and beyond in the moonlight upon the shoulders of ignorance
They ask us a question
One thousand words
Read the writing on the walls".
They are dark and filled with questions and looking towards other places besides the Earth or it's surroundings.

Those treasured wisdoms were forgotten over time
Holds a message stolen from the stars where we live
In the shadows
Here in the womb of a thousand suns."
