“Before this album was recorded, I knew I wanted to step things up a few notches in terms of taking this vision to a wider audience,” mainman A|V commented. “Candlelight approached me – indirectly, as they didn’t know who I was behind the mask – and offered a deal that more than meets where I want to take this project. Rather than continue to exist in the well-established sphere I’ve grown comfortable in, I decided that now is the time to take a leap into the unknown. Much like the narratives of the songs, there is both trepidation and elation. Time will be the judge…”
The track listing is as follows:
01. ‘Kernos Crown’
02. ‘Dismantling The Corpse Of Demeter’
03. ‘Plutonian Gate’
04. ‘Lightless At The Grand Conjunction’
05. ‘A Psylacybic Death’
06. ‘In Exaltation Of The Supreme Being’
A music video was filmed for the track ‘Kernos Crown’, which can be viewed below.
Abduction commented: “Black Blood is an affirmation of the path that strives towards the balance of chaos and order in an era of disjointed and deliberate distraction. With ‘Kernos Crown’, the first track on Black Blood, there is an acceptance of all that is malevolent in the struggle for sleep. The necessity of the darkness and the imperative process that overcomes horrors and demons, by exalting and joining them at the altar of wisdom. To face death and no longer be afraid.”
Third studio record All Pain As Penance was released in March 2019 via Inferna Profundus Records.
