I read with skepticism, published stories based on myth
They spoke of what floods brought, sightings of eldritch things
From a man in an isolated house in those vermont hills,
I received letters and proof, yet I was doubtful still
A maddening whisper, loud enough to echo far
They want to take us to the hidden planet orbiting our star
After fighting with those things, it seemed they'd made some peace
It felt just safe enough to travel to his house
He was in poor condition with claims of cosmic wonders
A vague sense of unease, despite his guarantees
A maddening whisper, loud enough to echo far
They want to take us to the hidden planet orbiting our star
I got up from the bed and went to talk with him again
Where he had sat I found contraptions that could scare me blind
There was the severed hands and face of Henry Akeley
Used by something disguised as a man
A maddening whisper, loud enough to echo far
They want to take us to the hidden planet orbiting our star
Abigail Williams has had a weird career with hiatuses and lineup changes, but they have finally perfected their sound on Walk Beyond the Dark. This album has such a refreshing and natural feeling that makes it one of the top atmospheric black metal albums of recent years. Ryan
These California up-and-comers don't merely pay tribute to ’90s death metal; they make it their own by taking charge and letting it rip. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 21, 2024
