Abyssal - Novit Enim Dominus Qui Sunt Eius (2012)
Here's an album I've been wanting to listen to and review for a while but only just go to it. If you like chopped and screwed extreme metal such as Portal and Deathspell Omega then this should be right up your alley. The atmosphere is brutal and suffocating, and the vocals sound like they come from the lowest level of Hell. The riffs and song structures are very unorthodox, and there's almost no melody at all. In fact, it does get quite monotonous at times so it's pretty difficult to listen through the entire album. But it still has plenty of good moments and I think the atmosphere is the main selling point so if you put in that context, the monotony is fairly manageable. I probably wouldn't listen to it again for quite a while, but it was decent enough.
8/10
