ABSTRACT ESSENCE “Love Enough”

ABSTRACT ESSENCE
”Love Enough”
(Metalgate)
Sometimes I’m amazed when I read the promo sheets that comes with the albums I get. It is as if it’s the most common thing to know that Czech band ABSTRACT ESSENCE have done this and that. I didn’t even know that they existed before I got sent this album but when you read the promo sheet I apparently should have. But as always I’m glad to get the opportunity to get to know this Czech band. I haven’t had too many bad experiences with bands from The Czech Republic and I don’t think that I will have any bad vibes from this band. Musically this is anything but what I expected. I had kinda set my mind on some sort of grind death but this is much more psychedelic/progressive than I expected. Not that it matters. I like metal that is dreamy and Katatonia-ish with an added touch of some doom death. This turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Anders Ekdahl
