OSSUARY - Abhorrent Worship 12" vinyl LP (gatefold)

Imported from Me Saco Un Ojo Records (UK)

After unleashing some sick demos, a comp, and an EP, Wisconsin's OSSUARY finally unleash their debut 2025 album!! The wait has definitely been worth it!

Many an "end of the year" list has featured this album on it, and for good reason. This is death metal at its best!! FFO: Vastum, Runemagick, Cavurn, Incantation, and Bolt Thrower. An incredibly impressive debut that is equal parts crushing and atmospheric, and with a unique sound that sets them apart from their peers.

HIGH RECOMMENDATION!

Gatefold LP w/ poster

You find yourself two thousand meters below the earth’s surface surrounded by overwhelming darkness. Cold and wet, the path has collapsed behind you. You have nowhere to go, but still you scream. You scream, and scream, echoing into the darkness, [dissolving] your throat like acid. It’s no use. There’s no way out. You die here. OSSUARY have made this cave for you.

“Abhorrent Worship” is a relentless, pummeling assault: 6 tracks in 37 minutes of cacophonous, suffocating evil punctuated with distorted, droning atmospheres. Hissing and dripping wet with bile, vocals incant beneath monstrous searing, chugging guitars and thunderous, pounding drums & bass at a primordial pace executed with precision and finesse.

Ossuary take their time between releases, which shows, and once again “Abhorrent Worship” is worth the wait. Once you press play there’s no going back, accept your fate happily or not. You die here. (KD)
