and intended to be experienced through the analog medium.

from the Bay Area's revered blackened noise cult visionaries Sutekh
Hexen. Based upon original artwork by ABSTRACTER vocalist Mattia Alagna
for the CD and tape version, the new artwork of this vinyl release
expands further into the band's bleak musical vision and digs deeper
into the album's grim subject matter of madness and despair. The LP

ABSTRACTER
is the latest sonic monstrosity to emerge from the gutters of the San
Francisco Bay Area's enigmatic extreme music underground. Formed in 2010
and coming out of complete obscurity, these four obscure slime mongers
from Oakland have crafted a debut that is both mesmerizing in its
seemingly effortless ability to construct massive and enveloping
soundscapes, and annihilating in it's brutal, relentless, and merciless
sonic grasp on the listener's synapses. With forty minutes of music
divided solely among three mammoth tracks, this bile-drenched debut is
clearly a vessel for music that has at it's core the urge and primordial
instinct to drag the listener into a vast, violent, and obscure world
all of its own. Written in 2011 over a span of just a few months, Tomb
of Feathers displays ABSTRACTER's unique sound and style of songwriting,
influenced by bands like Amebix, Swans, Godflesh, Corrupted,
Darkthrone, and His Hero Is Gone, and shaped by elements borrowed from a
vast array of genres, spanning from black metal, to crust and doom
metal, to shoegazing and psychedelic rock, to hardcore punk and noise
music. The work itself is a single-themed concept album about madness
and mental disease as a result of the extreme and cynical individualism
that permeates humanity. Entirely self-produced and self-funded by the
band Tomb of Feathers was recorded live in three days (one track per
day), directly to 22 track - 2 inch analog tape by sound engineer Josh
Garcia (Melvins, Dwarves). The recordings were then passed on to Greg
Wilkinson (Brainoil, Lycus, Laudanum, High On Fire, Noothgrush, OM,
Atriarch, Sleep, Worm Ouroboros, Vohl) at Hear Hammer Studios for
mixing, and were then shipped to Philadelphia to be mastered by James
Plotkin (ISIS, SUNN O))), OLD, Khanate, etc.).
