Though seven years have passed since their last release, the band’s hooky, slightly shoegazey sound remains intact across Present, contrasted with hints of gothic gloom and ramshackle synth-pop. It also resulted in new Dog Day music-beginning with a standalone track composed for The Crescent (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) and culminating in Present, a comeback album and career standout. The duo’s 2012 debut, LOWLIFE, was a cult festival hit, which led to the success of their next feature, The Crescent, a tale of trauma told through claustrophobic supernatural horror that screened in theaters across Canada and influenced cult horror films like last year’s The Lighthouse. In addition to forming Dog Day, one of the most beloved indie rock bands to emerge from their hometown of Halifax, they’ve spent the past decade shifting their focus into making horror films with an equally distinctive DIY approach. Seth Smith and Nancy Urich are a deeply inspiring creative couple.

However, these are not glorious singalong rock anthems, but utterly raw, dissonant, abrasive and clinking cold compositions, in the most refreshing and invigorating sense of these words.
ABRAHAM have taken conscious distance to the polished, metallic side of post metal, in favour of a more rock-oriented, gritty and less produced sound. The end result is an album that is as rough, ugly and brute as it gets. In a way, the reduction of the lineup matches the reduction in scope of the record: 'Look, Here Comes the Dark' told the story of humanitys demise through various stages spanning almost two hours of music 'Debris de Mondes Perdus' is set a few hundred years later, on a scorched earth, where the last remnants of humanity try desperately to survive and feel the need to somehow stick together despite death lurking around every corner.“ Since we’re still very much guitar-oriented, we quickly felt the need to recruit someone else and Margo, whom we’ve known for a long time, felt like the best fit. „After Renzo and Mat left the band, we found ourselves wondering if we should replace them or simply continue as a three-piece, and we were very eager to experiment with less instruments. and even more so on this new album, where he is now the only vocalist. „It’s much rougher and definitely less baroque than our previous efforts“, confirms the band, „while still retaining a general sense of malaise.“Īfter the release of Look Here Comes The Dark, the band lost both their 2nd guitarist and their main vocalist – but it has always been drummer Dave Schlagmeister's unique, utterly desperate vocals emerging from the grey mist between painful melodic bellows and plangent screams that characterised ABRAHAM's vocal approach. Like a horde of hungry heathens mangling a wounded animal. One can tell that darkness has obscured minds after having fallen onto the world.“Īnd this is precisely how Debris de mondes perdus sounds: primitive. It is very oral, primitive and heathen, evil and bizarre. „It is less a story than a kind of chant expressing fears, awe, struggles and lamentations. „We used a text which comes from several hundred years in the future as a conceptual centerpiece“, comments the band. but can there be a sequel to the end of all times? Debris de mondes perdus is the sequel to this incredible mammoth album.
Each section was defined by a unique approach in terms of style, songwriting, willingness to experiment and choice of instrumentation.
Their 2018 opus magnum Look, Here Comes The Dark! was a scorching dystopian fiction concept album, divided into four consecutive periods – one for each vinyl record – throughout which the story of the disappearance of all life on Earth was told. During their now 11 years of existence and through European tours supporting Cult of Luna and The Ocean, the band have forged their reputation as one of the leading post metal bands in Europe. Lausanne's ABRAHAM emerged from the flourishing Swiss underground music scene of the past decade.
