Six years after a highly praised full-length debut album (Illuminate The Path), An Abstract Illusion return with their second album Woe. A giant and intricate slab of atmospheric death metal inspired by black metal, progressive rock and electronica, Woe offers up some of An Abstract Illusion's most accomplished melodies and riffs to date. A 60-minute song divided into seven pieces, combining beauty and brutality in a unique way, the album's musical depth is a feat to behold, one that will remain lodged in the psyche long after the final note is heard. Let the waves wash over you, the behemoth has awoken...
A note from An Abstract Illusion about the lyrics:
"The over-arching concept for the album is groups, people or institutions oppressing others they perceive as beneath them. Removal of rights to bodily autonomy, child abuse, honour-based violence. The POV is taking on the role of the oppressor in the lyrics to "Slaves" (song title is another hint)."
