In that time, the bestial metal resurgence has hit maximum occupancy, and each new pretender to the throne sadly waters down the atavistic power the subgenre once held, neutering the cruel 'n' caustic counterpoint bestial metal offers to the increasingly safe \"black metal\" scene. Also during that time, while ABYSMAL LORD have only delivered one scant recording - a split 7\" with equally stout bestial comrades Crurifragium, released last year via HELLS HEADBANGERS - the Louisiana natives haven't sat idly by, taking to many a stage across the United States and unleashing their war command upon more and newer audiences.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eNow, when \"bestial metal\" is arguably on life support, do ABYSMAL LORD return with their filthiest 'n' foulest creation,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExaltation of the Infernal Cabal\u003c\/span\u003e.

While no great changes have been made to that iron-clad aesthetic, if anything,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExaltation of the Infernal Cabal\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eexplodes with (and amazingly maintains) an urgency that somehow manages to revitalize the bestial metal idiom whilst following it to the rotten, black\/white\/red letter. And that's to say nothing of the absolutely unhinged and frankly bonkers guitar soloing on display here; ABYSMAL LORD are truly exploring the most depraved depths of black\/death.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA statement from the band reads: \"The Abomination is born once again.
