Abigail Williams will begin recording their third full-length album today. The process begins in the band's new home of Southern California as the band enter Keene Machine Studios with The Faceless' Michael Keene and band frontman Ken Sorceron engineering. Former Abigail Williams and The Black Dahlia Murder drummer Zach Gibson will be playing on the album, as previous bandmate Ken Bedene focuses on The Aborted.
"We are very excited to announce the start of drum tracking for our third full-length. Drummer Zach Gibson will be behind the kit on this record, which is exciting for us because we have not recorded with him since the Legend EP," states Sorceron. Having recently returned from a short ten date regional tour tightening up their new five-piece line-up, the band's ranks and sound continue to evolve and this third effort is no different. "Expect some interesting twists and turns once again with this album as we plan to double track some of the drums and some of the compositions are quite lengthy, one even reaching the 15-minute plus range. This will prove to be our most epic material to date," teases Sorceron as to the direction of the new material. "We plan to video our progress and upload video blogs as we go."
Abigail Williams will continue recording the new album over the next month, set for completion in late October before embarking on their previously announced North American tour supporting Norway's legendary Mayhem. The new album has an anticipated January release, followed by additional US tours supporting Dark Funeral and then Deicide.
The next reissue from DEATH's legendary catalog is 1993's "Individual Thought Patterns". Due on October 25 in North America; October 28 in Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg and Germany; and October 31 in the rest of Europe via Relapse Records, the effort was remixed by Alan Douches and has been re-packaged to include a second and third bonus disc worth of previously unreleased demos and a full live set recorded in Germany during a 1993 European tour. Also included on the third bonus disc exclusive to this reissue are rare riff tracks from the Chuck Schuldiner archives.
"Individual Thought Patterns" follows the recent reissues of "The Sound Of Perseverance" and "Human". Like those reissues, "Individual Thought Patterns" will be available as a deluxe three-disc set, a two-disc standard set, and deluxe digital. Pre-order options and additional release information can be found here.

Junta Music by Cormorant Lyrics by Arthur von Nagel
What horrors we wage in the light of day, bodies left decaying for the world to see.
Conakry, September, two thousand nine. Moïse Dadis, junta chief, will not resign his command to sworn democratic law. Thousands band to demand that he withdraw.
Crowd trapped. Soldiers gather, guns drawn. Fire.
Butchery veiled in tear gas, bayonettes puncture eyes. Flesh strewn across the grass, knives sever robes from thighs.
Women raped with gun barrels, bullet through a child’s head, howls of humans feral as they haul away the dead.
Red berets, elite guard, murder-crazed, a city scarred. Stores they loot, ribs they snap under boot. Cadavers wrapped.
“C’est du jamais-vu,” they said. “Pourquoi nous, Allah?” they pled to absent god.
At the morgue a mother seeks out her son. No remains were found. A desperate father reaches for his gun, his daughter bound in an army base, used by soldiers in turn, ‘til a rapist discerned her familiar face, and, shamed, set her free.
She speaks no word to her doctor, for fear her pain disgrace her kin. For weeks she dared not sleep or dream.
Camara denied blame for the atrocity: “The military’s beyond my control.” The chief of his guard drew a pistol and fired a round in the president’s skull.
He survives, abdicates. A flood of candidates compete in Guinea’s first truly democratic vote.
Anarchy mars the year. Election frauds unclear. Will of the people: Guineans elect Alpha Condé.
The girl’s suicide, the son never found, the butchers alive. The butchers alive.
Yeah, Von Nagel still doesn't fuck around with this shit. Incredible.

Lyrics by Arthur von Nagel
What horrors we wage
in the light of day,
bodies left decaying
for the world to see.
Conakry,
September, two thousand nine.
Moïse Dadis,

his command
to sworn democratic law.
Thousands band

Crowd trapped.
Soldiers

guns drawn.
Fire.
Butchery veiled in tear gas,

Flesh strewn across the grass,
knives sever robes from thighs.
Women raped with gun barrels,
bullet through a child’s head,
howls of humans feral
as they haul away the dead.
Red berets,
elite guard,
murder-crazed,
a city scarred.
Stores they loot,
ribs they snap

Cadavers wrapped.
“C’est du

“Pourquoi

they pled
to absent god.
At the morgue a mother
seeks out her son.
No remains were found.
A desperate father
reaches for his gun,
his daughter bound
in an army base,
used by soldiers in turn,
‘til a rapist discerned
her familiar face,

She speaks no word to her doctor,
for fear her pain disgrace her kin.
For weeks she dared not sleep or dream.
