ABDUCTION - EXISTENTIALISMUS *Pre-Order

Release Date Friday 21st February 2025
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.

After the Candlelight Records debut ‘Black Blood’, masked purveyors of mayhem and Black
Metal trailblazers Abduction return with their brand-new album ‘Existentialismus’ on
February 21 st 2025. The record, arguably the band’s most electrifying, emotionally complex
and personal recording to date, is inspired by the juxtaposition of a post-truth era against the
simpler truths of ancient religions and crumbling past, the observations of the modern
world.
After an incredibly prolific recording run that saw a trilogy of albums released from 2017 to
2019, 2022’s explosive Black Blood, the band’s first album for the revered label Candlelight
Records, proved an undeniable milestone for the band.
Abduction are of the UK’s most visible black metal acts on the live circuit, bringing their
ritualistic and immersive performances to audiences at Damnation, Bloodstock, Incineration,
Fortress, Doomsday, Mass Destruction, Samhain, Reaperfest and Eradication.
Existentialismus has been recorded, for the first time, as a full band. That sense of scale is
palpable and reflects the ambition and embittered grandeur of the new material, an
impressively cohesive combination of otherworldly atmospheres, fiery aggression and
apocalyptic tension.
The album, written by A|V was recorded by Ian Boult and mastered by Tore Stjerna (Watain,
Mayhem). The band will be supporting New Zealand Death Metal trio Ulcerate in Germany as
well as their own headline UK tour this October.
