Although a relatively new act itself, Static Abyss comprises of longstanding members of the US metal scene. The band consists of the duo of Greg Wilkinson (Guitars/bass) & Chris Reifert (drums/vocals), both members of legendary American masters of sickness Autopsy, with Greg (also of cult act Deathgrave) recently becoming the band's new permanent bass player for the band's 'Morbidity Triumphant' opus.
'Aborted From Reality' follows swiftly on from Static Abyss' 2022 debut, 'Labyrinth Of Veins', itself a wild & contagious ride through a nightmarish soundscape. The album presents a stark contrast between a brutal wall of riffs & crawling darkly hypnotic guitar leads burying themselves under the skin & combines for a sick & unnerving experience through Death Metal combined with Crust & Doom elements. Chris' unmistakable vocals come spewing from the depths of insanity in this soundtrack to an anxiety-filled dimension, backing up the twisted riffs from Greg's own cauldron of mental chaos.
'Aborted From Reality' was recorded at Earhammer Studios in Oakland, CA, & Great American Music Hall, with engineering, mixing & mastering overseen by Greg himself. Following on from the debut release, cover art appears once again courtesy of All Things Rotten.
