#004 - Aborym

Industrial black metal from Italy strengthened with some Norwegians. Previously they used drum machine, but nowadays their drummer is Faust who is best known for his work on early Emperor albums. They've had also Attila Chisar (known his work on De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas by Mayhem) on their line-up previously, so Aborym's "black metal credibility" is quite OK.

I've actually always thought that Aborym is just pure black (or death) metal. In practise their sound is really mostly black metal, but they seem to use also lot of industrial sounds. But this is anyway "too black" for me. There's not enough variations in the somgs either for my taste. There's some nice things definately. For example Chernobyl Generation from With No Human Intervention album is really nice little industrial piece.

Here's one sample from their latest album Generator released in 2006.


Their fifth album is also coming this year. Their Myspace pages tells that "they will enter the studio again the 19th of February. This new opus will be a concept consisting of only one track, a harsh monolith of sickness, violence and depravity."
