Yes it’s coming from American Southeast again, up to no good with their sewage scented gurgling, grimy death metal. A municipal collection of horrors blasted from hose in the trenches and smeared throughout the landscape. Ugliness meant to be devoured savagely if filth this sort appeals to your criteria. Can’t say you will find any appreciation in this if you haven't yet let the underground soils seep in, so the stench may be very nauseating to you, not that the band cares, but just a measure to inform you. Dense, slow, groovy, chunky and stoned, such is Little Chasm of Horrors, a three track demo emanating the fumes of a death metal territory respected and mimicked for decades. ‘Descending Into Chasm Dionanea Muscipula’ instigates the descent, pummeling through a sluggish lava-like movement of gooey vocals and breakdowns thickening the septic matter to be merged with ‘Sphagnum Bog of the Depraved Droseracea’s stoned putrescent excretions. Once sucked into the floating force of repulsion, say bye by to the existence that once was as ‘Closed Shut (Enzymatic Death by Digestion)’ applies acidic properties to aid in the structural decomposition meant to be absorbed and excreted. A digestive process it seems, though a very painful one of powerful chords, regurgitating chugging and a punk-like internal puking mashed together with xenomorphic vocals. A must have!

Review by Tara on January 27, 2016.

When I read the description for Abythic in the promo notes, the part "For fans of Grave, Asphyx and Bolt Thrower" got me pretty amped up. Unfortunately, this feeling of utter joy was only for a moment. A Full Negation of Existence shows quite a bit of promise but manages to fall short.

The opening track, ‘The Dissolution of Adam’ is one hell of a rager, an assault of raw and old school influenced death metal. As the album's stand out track, it's chock full of clever hooks and melodic riffage without letting up an inch of brutality. Unfortunately, it seems as though Abythic threw all their eggs into one basket. ‘The Dissolution of Adam’ is a prime example of what Abythic are truly capable of. The remainder of the album after its stellar opener is really nothing special and very run of the mill especially the last track: a 20 minute ambient piece which seems to drag on for an eternity. The production on this album is quite impressive so it's a shame that maybe a bit more effort wasn't put into creating material that is captivating and original.

I REALLY wanted to like this album a WHOLE lot. The album opener shows how much potential Abythic have to be a top notch death metal act. Hopefully they will properly display their talents on the next release.
