Nadie volverá a hacer un blackmetal melódico pero true como este disco. Una obra de arte!!! Aquí lo melódico no significa teclados, sino melodías suecas en la guitarra!!!! Como debe ser!!!

This was exactly what I needed today to survive a bad situation.

You're not the only one. I'm already at this moment in 2022

[@winstonlum3512]

Fast, heavy and melodic - an absolute classic of 90s Swedish black metal.

[@deathdrummer7025]

To my surprise, Peter Taegtgren was playing the drums in this album though he is a singer and guitarist of "Hypocrisy" and "Pain!"

What a great album these guys recorded.

[@TheBdomijan]

before this album I was a strictly a death metal fanatic!!! this album is what got me interested in black metal, after this album I started getting into Marduk (big time!!), Dark Funeral, Burzum, Immortal, Mayhem, Abigor, Throne Of Ahaz, and it goes on and on and on...…..still to this day because of this album that Peter from Hypocrisy made!!!

[@federerchile]

Good choice, 🤘🤘🤘

[@johanntabone5719]

The absoulte genius of peter tagtrgen .

[@alexanderheld1457]

Yes, this is a masterpiece, if you don't see it now, just wait and listen more. That cover song of Hellhammer "Massacre", let's see: only 10 years passed, and Peter Tagtgren headed the Recording, Engineering, Mixing and Producing for Celtic Frost final album in 2005.

[@josemartinamayaarambu2948]

One thing.The penetralia album and this album have a connection because the cover. Of penetralia i saw the angel in the cage in the background

Thanks! a very underrated BM album. Peters other BM side project War is also great!

[@aegisraven1284]

War was Blackmoons band not peters

[@jamesblair2000]

Man it's so catchy, like it's almost beauty wrapped in evil. I fucking love it! Vocals sounds like demons and skeletons and evil shit screaming at you literally from abyssal hell while giant pillars of flames arise and burn the geysers that once flowed with souls.

[@viriathas9910]

The Album cover is pure death metal, and you can still hear a lot of death metal in the riffs, yet, the black metal elements were actually superior to most of what was coming out at the time. I first heard this 20 years ago, and it holds up so well.

[@77trashman]

I highly agree 1,000%.

[@jasonvargo7198]

I wish peter & his this band still played like this, best therapy ever, my 1st cd. & It's perfect start to finish!

[@jasonvargo7198]

Unas de mis primeras interacciones con el black metal fué esta banda, pensé que nunca volvería a encontrarla.

“Tjanare af besten” - one of the best from black metal !!!

That's a hidden gem right there. Never heard of this band till I searched The Abyss on KZbin. Was looking for DnD lore.

[@lordraptor5042]

HIdden jem? Do you know who Peter Tagtgren is? Give me a fuckin break.

[@blademancano8035]

What’s up with being a dickhead dude? It’s not like this is posted everywhere, not everyone bought this when it was released like we did, and I barely remember this being advertised or even talked about, and when Peter would discuss the Abyss, he would only ever mention summon the beast (also a killer album).

This is literally the only way to hear Peter play drums. He's said many times that he's a drummer before anything else but it's so hard to find examples.

Penetralia was almost entirely recorded by Peter (drums). Lars recorded just 2 or 3 songs....

[@satanicusholocaustus8414]

Peter drummed in another black metal side project of his called war

[@darkminddarkmind9035]

Peter drummed in ALGAION too.

[@victhrone335]

Slukad! the best track in this album!

[@Tempestuous_Might]

"A melodic black metal formed of liquid strumming melodies which intertwine to harmonize in suggestion of spaces beneath its surface, creating an ambience in which the violence of the music is forgotten in the breathtaking motion of its melody. Twisting from a simple chromatic polarity of notes a melody will gain its energy as it disengages from a dominant direction to become dissonant and resolve in a prolonged statement of its harmony with the ambiguous and illdefined minor modes, suggesting as does the simple but direct format of the rest of this music a truth obscure but alive. These songs vary the "skins" of their themes as structured from rhythm and counterpoint with lucidity and verve. If seen as culturally inspired, these songs almost represent opera for the technological information age, in which a vast story spills itself into chaos before the audience but is only resolved in suggestion and an angry, defiant, independent and anarchistic duality. In a style similar to Ancient or Emperor, this band drapes lengthy melodies over boxlike atmospheric percussion. Weaving minor harmonies into each riff progression to build its tension for culmination, the Abyss are unafraid to throw their inertia into climactic melodies of counterthematic structure. Outlined in shrikes of mortal alienation on top of a blasting tirade of even percussion, this music mixes simple grindcore extremity into the sense of melody that gave black metal the voice of epic poetry."

[@Revenaant]

This album was a gamechanger for me and my mates, so fantastic- so accurate- so evil- and yet so seductive- a complete crowd pleaser from peter taegtgren- back from when he formed " THE ABYSS STUDIOS"

[@Revenaant]

+Revenaant OH- and not to mention- SLUKAD .... for... the ... WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!

[@DarekTube1]

The funny thing is that this was just the funn project for Peter and ppl took it so seriously, its a very nice music though. Is he recorded all of this by himself? Sounds like he got somebody from Marduk or Dark Funneral on guitars 😅

[@ms.diealot4202]

You must actually be old. I was 6 when this album came out. I was really happy to find it when I did, and that was still at least 10 years after it was released. Music was hard to find back in the day. If you didn't get shit ordered directly from record labels, you didn't get to hear a lot of music. Now that streaming music online is easier for everyone, more people are getting to enjoy all sorts of old music and that's fucking cool.
