UK black metallers ABGOTT have issued the following update:

"Hail to thee Planetarian Legions of Metal,

The new album is shaping up wonderfully - technical, extreme, thrashing, obscure and deadly, gloomy, heavy, epic, melodic (yes also melodic but in Abgott twisted idea of melody...).

I am so proud of this new chapter 4 and the 2 new lineup members, I am about to introduce: Graves on bass and Morgawr on drums - both as performers and composers are superb!!!

Abgott is exploring and wondering in a different world a new atmosphere, stronger and with a different vision

than the usual loudness war!!!! and way TOO OLD, TRADITIONAL and STAGNANT black metal (which we still love, listen and support, but we have our own legs hands and mind for our own brand of extreme metal).

U'll hear it and u'll either love it or hate it (not such a news, but at least I know I have given u a reason to feel like that this time around...).

It's theme is about the evil in you, the one u suffer and the one u make others suffer. It is about ur inner self, ur life and your death in an overall vision. I talk about you!!!!

As humans are more powerful than daemons, satans, gods of north south east and west, far more evil then wolves and dragons, far more beautiful then mountains, snow, seas and lakes forests, alcohol and sex!!!

It is a hymn to you the new world order.

HUMANS - no more aliens or ghosts!!!! and the MUSIC does reflect this all.

Stay extreme - in darkness I bless u with my 616.

P.S. more news to come...."
