Abrogation - re-release of "Das Blut der Toten" out in July!
When it comes to musical phenomena, Abrogation is surely one of the most unique bands ever to emerge on the European melodic death metal scene. Their uncanny combination of crushing music and German lyrics caught the attention of Nuclear Blast who agreed to release one of the group?s finest albums to date ? ?Das Blut der Toten?. This exclusive re-release brings this forgotten metal gem back to glory?
The band?s second offering ?Das Blut der Toten? (?The Blood of the Dead?) saw the light of day in 2002. The album was a perfect blend of traditional heavy metal and a prime dose of crushing death metal - such highlights as ?Tyrannei Der Engel? or ?Engelmacherin? are brilliant examples of this combination. As for the lyrical background, this time the German lyrics brought the listener right back into the dark ages, telling tales of witch-hunting, torture, crime and deceit. The LP was highly acclaimed by the German music press as well as the world-wide metal community. Although Abrogation never received the proper attention they deserved, the group remains one of the strongest names on the German melodic death metal scene. ?Das Blut der Toten? is still one of the most original works released in Germany, and is a must-have for fans of old-school metal ? heavy and catchy at the same time.
?Das Blut der Toten? will be re-released by Metal mind Productions on 27th July in Europe and 8th September in USA (via MVD). New digipak edition is limited to 1000 copies. Digitally remastered using 24-Bit process.
