Abused Majesty - Somnambulism

Review by Janice Phillips

Somnambulism, the fourth studio album by Polish black metal band Abused Majesty, is a haunting and atmospheric journey into the depths of darkness. The album features nine tracks that explore the themes of nightmares, insanity, and the surreal.

The opening track, "The Path of the Fallen", sets the tone for the rest of the album with its ominous, slow-building intro that leads into a frenzy of blast beats and distorted guitars. The vocals are harsh and guttural, adding to the overall sense of unease.

Throughout the album, Abused Majesty showcases their musical prowess with intricate guitar riffs and atmospheric keyboard melodies that create an eerie, otherworldly sound. The use of symphonic elements adds to the grandeur of the music, making it feel epic and larger than life.

The production on Somnambulism is top-notch, with every instrument and sound effect coming through clearly. The album has a cohesive sound that ties everything together, making it a cohesive and immersive listening experience.

Summary by Janice Phillips

Somnambulism is a must-listen for fans of black metal and fans of atmospheric music. Abused Majesty has created a truly unique and captivating album that will leave listeners wanting more.
