STATIC ABYSS – THE DYING HUNT Releases on Peaceville, August 28th

WATCH THE NEW VIDEO FOR ALBUM
TITLE TRACK ‘THE DYING HUNT’
Photo by Fern Alberts Emerging in the early 2020’s – Static Abyss is a monstrous hybrid of twisted, doom-laden brutal death, comprising of longstanding members of the US metal scene. The band consists primarily of the duo of Deathgrave’s Greg Wilkinson (Guitars/bass) & 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 drumkit 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.

Photo by Fern Alberts Continuously and relentlessly flitting between brutal passages and hypnotic otherworldly craziness, The Dying Hunt reflects the ailing world & 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.

Top 10 Pat Benatar Songs

Pat Benatar did more than deliver some of the most powerful rock vocals of the late 1970s and 1980s. She helped redefine what a woman could look and sound like in hard rock, backing that image with a voice, catalog, and body of work that still command attention decades later. While creating the Top 10 Pat Benatar Songs list, we were constantly reminded of the impact Pat Benatar had on rock and roll culture. Her arrival at the dawn of the 1980s broke ground for women not because of her role as a female singer, but because of her insistence
