Stillborn Fawn - Abature
Bleak Environment, edition of ??
Well executed, driving black metal with a desolate atmosphere. This came out in a BE update early in 2012 and as far as I remember went by somewhat unnoticed, though it probably sold out super quick and became a fleeting image in someone's discogs cart. Abature is one of the few BM tapes I've consistently come back to since 2012, probably as much as the Cornigr LP. Each of the four songs on this record are excellent, expertly bringing slower passages together with faster tempos. The songwriting is actually really impressive, each of the tracks burying themselves into your subsconsious. There is a nice juxtaposition between both sides of the tape - the A-side holds mostly true to traditional black metal without any clear punk influences, but the flip immediately bursts into a rager, with that track and the succeeding one combining the band's distinct style with stomping riffs. Abature will age very well. Do yourself a favour and hear it one way or another.
