NEWS: Abigail Williams enjoy the still of the night!

18th July will see Agonia Records distribute “A Void Within Existence” from Black Metal masters Abigail Williams which muses on existential themes of loss, disintegration, and unreality. Produced by frontman Ken Sorceron (ex-Aborted, ex-The Faceless, Vale Of Pnath) and mixed by renowned engineer Dave Otero (Aborted, Cattle Decapitation, Akhlys) the album is said to have stand out performances by guitarist Vance Valenzuela (Vale Of Pnath), bassist John Porada (ex-Nachtmystium, ex-Wolvhammer) and drummer Mike Heller (Fear Factory, Ghost Bath) throughout. Add to that striking cover art from Eliran Kantor (Testament, Bloodbath), whose visual interpretation mirrors the inner desolation and mythic scope of the music and you have an award winning combination. “Still Nights” is now streaming with pre-orders available over at bandcamp.

Vocalist and guitarist Ken Sorceron comments:  “This record was born in the quiet hours, when everything felt hollow. «A Void Within Existence» isn’t just a title – it’s a feeling I couldn’t shake while writing. There’s a loneliness threaded through these songs that came from somewhere deeper than I expected. The world outside was falling apart, and in a way, so was the one inside. I wanted to push beyond the limits we explored on «Walk Beyond the Dark». Sonically, emotionally, spiritually – nothing was off-limits. I produced the album to stay close to that vision, and with Dave Otero on the mix and Mike Heller behind the kit, everything came to life exactly how I heard it in my head: raw, vast, and crushing. This is a record about absence. About peeling away what isn’t real – examining the void left behind. If there’s anything left after that – maybe it’s the truth. Maybe it’s just the void. Either way, this is the most honest I’ve ever been. «A Void Within Existence» is more than an album. It’s a crucible – a journey through the fire where only shadow and silence remain.”
