Static Abyss - The Dying Hunt Static Abyss

Emerging in the early 2020s, Static Abyss is a monstrous hybrid of twisted, doom-laden brutal death, comprising longstanding members of the US metal scene.

The band consists primarily of the duo of Deathgrave's Greg Wilkinson (guitars/bass) and Chris Reifert (vocals), both also members of legendary American masters of sickness, Autopsy, with Chris also notably starting his career with genre pioneers, Death. The band's debut, Labyrinth Of Veins, was released in 2022, and their second album Aborted From Reality followed in quick succession, surfacing in 2023.

Returning now for Static Abyss' third studio album, and with the addition of Chad Gailey of fellow death merchants Necrot behind the drum kit for this release, The Dying Hunt plummets the listener again into the festering, psychedelic swamps of lunacy, with the spiralling melodies texturing the relentless savage riffs for an effective nightmare-inducing trip through the sonic abyss.

Continuously and relentlessly flitting between brutal passages and hypnotic otherworldly craziness, The Dying Hunt reflects the ailing world and the unravelling of the psyche of its inhabitants in this darkly dystopian landscape, for a masterful descent into sick death metal combined with crust and doom elements.

The Dying Hunt was recorded at Earhammer Studios in Oakland, CA, with engineering, mixing and mastering overseen by Greg Wilkinson himself. Cover art comes courtesy of Jon Santos.

This edition of The Dying Hunt is presented on jewel case CD format, including a 12-page booklet with full lyrics.
