“Effortlessly meshing angular mathcore with chunky stoner metal, Lust. Love. Loss. recalls Remission-era Mastodon… and, truly, even that facile comparison fails to do it justice.” –MetalSucks
From Denver, Colorado, power trio Abrams has arrived with its formidable début album: Lust. Love. Loss. The band will self-release the album June 16th as a CD, cassette, and digital download, with a vinyl LP release to follow.
Lust. Love. Loss. was recorded and mixed by Andy Patterson (Cult Leader, SubRosa, Call of the Void) at The Boar’s Nest in Salt Lake City, and mastered by Brad Boatright (Nails, High on Fire). It follows a 2014 EP, released on Canadian label No List Records (KEN mode).
The synergy of melody, groove, and bullet-train force displayed on Lust. Love. Loss. sets Abrams in line with heavy transcenders like Mastodon and Pelican. Drummer Michael Amster pushes forward with crisp, ghost-noted beats that nod to Dailor at his best; twin brother Zach Amster scrapes shimmering melodies and massive crunch out of his axe; Taylor Iversen’s basslines roll along like boulders down mountainsides.
