Our Take

ABRUPTUM's latest offering, Evil Genius, is a chaotic symphony of dissonance and discord that will leave you questioning your very existence. This Swedish duo, known for their avant-garde approach to black metal, take the genre to new, absurd heights with this bewitching album.

From the moment the haunting screams and cacophonous instrumentation burst through the speakers on opening track "Malevolently Malicious," it becomes abundantly clear that ABRUPTUM are not here to play by the rules. Each track on Evil Genius is a relentless assault on the senses, with layers of distorted guitars, pummeling drums, and eerie atmospherics creating a nightmarish soundscape that is as thrilling as it is unsettling.

The title track, "Evil Genius," is a standout moment on the album, with its haunting melodies and menacing vocals creating an atmosphere of pure dread. It's a masterclass in sonic terror that will leave you both mesmerized and deeply disturbed.

But it's not all doom and gloom on Evil Genius. Tracks like "Cacophony of Chaos" and "Surrealistic Slaughter" inject a healthy dose of black humour into the mix, with their twisted lyrics and unconventional song structures providing moments of twisted joy amidst the chaos.

In conclusion, Evil Genius is a challenging, exhilarating listen that will delight fans of the avant-garde and terrify the faint of heart. ABRUPTUM have once again proven themselves to be true masters of their craft, pushing the boundaries of black metal to its absolute limits. Love it or hate it, this is an album that demands to be heard.

About the artist

Abruptum

ABRUPTUM, the enigmatic and controversial music project hailing from Sweden, is not for the faint-hearted. Formed in 1990 by the duo IT and All, ABRUPTUM has been pushing the boundaries of extreme music with their unique blend of black metal and dark ambient sounds. Their music is known for its chaotic and dissonant compositions, filled with eerie screams, distorted guitars, and hellish atmospheres. ABRUPTUM's unconventional approach to music has divided opinions within the metal community, with some praising their raw and experimental sound, while others dismiss them as mere noise. Despite the controversy surrounding their music, ABRUPTUM has managed to amass a dedicated cult following over the years. Their live performances are said to be chaotic and intense, with the band often shrouded in darkness and dressed in traditional black metal attire. With a discography that includes groundbreaking albums such as "Obscuritatem Advoco Amplectère Me" and "In Umbra Malitiae Ambulabo, in Aeternum in Triumpho Tenebrarum," ABRUPTUM has cemented their place as one of the most influential and provocative acts in the underground music scene. Love them or hate them, one thing is for sure – ABRUPTUM is not a band that can be ignored.
