Abigail Williams finish new album.

Abigail Williams have just completed work on their still untitled second album. Recorded at Conquistador Studios in Cleveland, Ohio, eight new songs are planned for the band’s album currently planned for release on September 14. Vocalist/guitarist Ken Sorceron with engineer Cole Martinez commanded the audio takes while Peter Tagtgren (Dimmu Borgir, Immortal, Celtic Frost) mixed the tracks. The record was mastered at Black Lounge Studios in Sweden.

Ken Sorceron commented, “there is a lot less keyboards on the new songs. They are far more guitar-driven and have a bit more of a traditional sound in some ways but still very ABIGAIL WILLIAMS sounding. We let ourselves have much more room with writing this album, kind of a more open, free environment than any we have employed before. The studio experience this time round was very natural to us. We recorded everything with much more ease and I think it has helped in capturing a very honest vibe.”

“Reaping Death” European tour details announced.

Swedish black metal band Watain have announced the European headlining tour with support from Destoyer 666, the band commented on the tour below.

“Finally the paths are prepared and the pacts sealed for the march of ‘Reaping Death’, the first full tour we will do for our new album ‘Lawless Darkness’.

“The past months of preparations for the upcoming festivals have made us eager to finally go back to full-scale war again, and we can assure everyone that WATAIN on this tour shall be a WATAIN unlike anything they have seen in the past, in terms of ruthlessness and fanaticism! Having Destroyer 666 with us on the ride will make things ever more intense and powerful; we’ll form a lethal pack indeed.
