The debut studio album of eerie death / doom metal depravity from Greg Wilkinson and Chris Reifert of us gorelords, AUTOPSY.
STATIC ABYSS is the new mouthpiece for a rotten age consisting of the duo of Greg Wilkinson (guitars / bass) & Chris Reifert (drums / vocals), both members of legendary American masters of sickness AUTOPSY, with Greg (also of cult act DEATHGRAVE) recently welcomed as new bass player for the long-running US act's next studio opus and beyond.
STATIC ABYSS debut studio album, Labyrinth of Veins, presents an unnerving, multi-layered eerie concoction of dirty doom and death, including themes exploring the echoes of insanity manifested through human existence. The result; a sinister onslaught of at times slow and bludgeoning brutal metal whilst at others whipped into a storm of chaotic vile hysterics. The spirit of AUTOPSY is at times present in the truly titanic riffs swathed in chilling atmospheric guitar leads, whilst Chris' seemingly bottomless pit of morbid inspiration from the dark & twisted corners of life permeate the release with his highly distinguishable delivery to further the descent into madness.
Labyrinth of Veins was recorded at Earhammer Studios in Oakland, CA, & Great American Music Hall, with engineering, mixing and mastering overseen by Greg himself.

Reviews
Static Abyss have served up what you'd expect from the duo's pair of mile-long resumes, a nutso-smasho sort of 'old school' beaten death metal record with a surreal edge to its atmosphere. If you are like me and have some extensive familiarity with both folks' work and appreciate the sort of knee-jerk idea of just, I dunno, making a damned death metal album in a few days there'll be some good times to pull from 'Labyrinth of Veins' as it hasn't been overwrought or polished up for the sake of the lowest common denominator. A high recommendation.
- Mystification
The album is abrasive, stampeding, gloomy death metal. The doom makes its presence felt especially on Labyrinth Of Veins. The combined effort from Reifert and Wilkinson reeks of vintage grime.
