about

Abstract Survival's "Emergence" is a relentlessly claustrophobic and abrasive 39 minute sonic monument. This mammoth of a sophomore album is encompassed by dissonant riffage which tends towards a diverse blend of thrash and groovy death metal supported by grinding bass and pummeling drums - all supporting vivid and dramatic lyricism covering the themes of mental illness, the depravity and malicious nature of man, the idolisation of charlatans, the barbarity of war and the positive progression of self mediated by external forces.

Many thanks to our previous members: Fionn Murphy, Michael Young, Dylan van Deventer, Jake Burns, Daniel Ferguson and Liam Hoffman.
Thank you to everybody who came to a show and supported us during our short existence.
