Interview: A|V (Vocals) of Abduction

UK extreme metallers Abduction will release their highly anticipated new album, Existentialismus, on 21st February 2025, via Candlelight. Following their explosive 2022 album, ‘Black Blood’, which showcased the band's fiercely expansive sound, Abduction are now poised to push their musical boundaries even further. On the face of it, Existentialismus is actually a return to more stripped-down mechanics, and yet it is arguably the band’s most electrifying, emotionally complex and personal recording to date. Extreme music has never sounded so appealing as it does on this new Abduction record. A band synonymous with bleak and black brutality, they continue to push the boundaries of metal with Existentialismus. Not only finding deeper and darker depths to explore but showcasing a more introspective soundscape. This is Abduction at their most personal, stripped back in grisly style, but retaining all the fire and fury that long term fans have come to expect. We spoke to vocalist and founder A|V, finding out a bit more about the new release and how it has come about. Delving into some of the themes and feelings behind the record, how pivotal a moment this is Abduction, working as more cohesive unit, and so much more.
