ABERRATION

With influences coming from surrealistic extreme metal beasts like Antediluvian, Altarage, Portal and Impetuous Ritual, Minneapolis MN dark death metal obscurators Aberration debuted via Sentient Ruin with their self-titled 2021 debut 10" EP, an aural pact with total darkness that established them as one of the most imaginative and intimidating new entities in American underground extreme metal. No newcomers to game, Aberration formed in late 2019 with JH of Void Rot on guitar and vocals, DH of Suffering Hour on bass and vocals, AW of Nothingness on guitar, and EC of Tvaer on drums and threw the sum of their talents and influences into an obfuscating sonic glorification of total darkness and oblivion, combining death, doom, dissonant black metal and tenebrous ambient/drone to create an imposing aural hellscape of all-devouring terror. Their surrealistic interpretation of dark abstract death metal will find its absolute triumph and sublimation with “Refracture”, the band’s debut full-length album for Sentient Ruin slated for a spring 2024 release.
