ABIGOR’s 1994 full length debut captured the sudden discharge of the scene´s massive energy, which had built up in the early ’90s. As a result, Verwüstung turned out a bold, forceful but also deeply emotional album, created by adolescents who already had a sharp and individual idea how Black Metal should sound like. Although Verwüstung has in retrospect sometimes been overshadowed by the impact of Nachthymnen (From The Twilight Kingdom), its songwriting easily matches the 1995 classic and shows even more variety. No other ABIGOR album displays such a mix of demonic furore (“Kingdom Of Darkness”), complexity (“Universe Of Black Divine”) and atmosphere (“Midwintertears”), in addition Silenius delivered a vigorous peak performance and never sounded more powerful before or after.
For the first time, DSR presents a vinyl edition with the original 1994 cover collage. Verwüstung comes in a gatefold sleeve with an extensive 40 page booklet, including a comprehensive collection of photos and artefacts from that year, an A4 sticker sheet with the two blasphemous slogan-flyers made in early 1994, as well as liner notes and two detailed interviews:
one with Bruder Cle, talking about the tape-trading scene which shaped the emergence of Black Metal as well as this very album, and one with Georg Hrauda (Hörnix Studio), who recorded all the classic ABIGOR albums in the ’90s.
The vinyl sound – also for the first time – has been cut true to the original Hörnix master, while the download code leads to a new master, especially created for today´s mobile digital devices.
