Opening with the hissing of the wind, a church bell
ringing and a hymn being sung woefully; Its a short
full-length album about 25 minutes worth of cruel
guitars riffs, harsh vocals and simplistic, yet potent
drumming.
Within this full-length release there are nods to
Incantation in the vocal department, whilst guitars and
drumming sound much like Ritual Necromancy's. These
influences are very prominent throughout the album and
are very forthcoming on the track "Primitive Existence
of Devine Pain". As far as 13th Moon's identity and
signature are concerned, I think they have managed to
secure a distinct sound. That distinction dwells within
the intro of the opening track "The Rite as Sinister as
Old". With this track, 13th Moon makes it blatantly
clear that although there is a significant presence of
worship bestowed upon bands within the same vein; they
have their own take on the music.
By mixing fast-paced drumming, then suddenly slowing
down in an almost Burzum like fashion on the drums, they
begin to add elements of what seems to be ghosting and
shorting guitar notes. This effect works well in setting
the tone for what's ahead for the remaining tracks.
Abhorrence of Light is doomy at times with organs being
played in the background to elevate the ominous
forbidding aura 13th Moon executes so well. That is
further complimented with instrumentals which don't
exceed 4 minutes in length collectively. There is
something bone-chilling about the riff on the final
track "Breathing the Putrefaction of Their Grace"; it
begins around the 2:30 mark. I feel like I have heard
that same riff played on another album by a different
band but I just can't string the lines together as of
now. For a short record, Abhorrence of Light manages to
give the listener just enough to increase the craving
for more; almost like a glimpse of nipples on perky
breasts of a busty ebony, blonde or redhead, (given its
a straight male viewing them).
I don't think any amount of verbal praise would be
enough to suffice Abhorrence of Light by 13th Moon. They
have taken a formula and applied it better than many
black/death metal bands have.
