about

Some things are just supposed to happen. Avantgarde Music and Abysmal Grief have been on this earth for almost three decades, dealing with the dark and obscure, and only miles apart. Yet, they never worked together. Until now.

Despise The Living, Desecrate The Dead is a compilation of “outtakes, oddities and unused material from the period 2016-2021” marking the beginning of the cooperation between the record label from Milan and the long-standing occult metal band from Genoa.

In the words of guitarist Regen Graves, Despise The Living… contains “songs recorded and mixed in our studio along the last few years, with different line-ups, that for a number of reasons were never included in previous releases”. Among these are covers of obscure, dark Italian bands of old, a doom metal rework of a funeral march from the ‘50s, and of course a number of new Abysmal Grief songs.

Due to the particular nature of its genesis, Despise The Living, Desecrate The Dead will be released in a limited, vinyl only run, on March 31st, 2023.

The driving point of the songs on an album such as this, is just the melodies being played. They are solid, often quite simple, a lead guitar and a rhythm guitar and a humble synth playing often almost unnoticeably in the background. The result is some really good black metal, not one that tries to impress with violent imagery, fast drums, anti-christianity, and the likes, but rather one who solely relies on the quality of the songs. lister1937

I listen to a lot of depressive and dark music, and I have to say this album hits hard. Very hard... kowaikage2

La magie fait peut-être partie de la vie quotidienne des habitants d'Amérique latine, comme le déclarait Manuel Garciá Marquez, mais elle se trouve aussi au Canada : c'est d'ailleurs elle qui motive la création d'Iris. Dans ce troisième album, Altars of Grief donne une réalité au concept de "prairie doom" avec un death/doom metal ancré dans le réel, lourd, glacial et très varié, mais qui comprend aussi une part de surnaturel grâce à l'apparition des violons. C'est un sublime tour de force ! Nocturnal Egg (Jordan)
