Aborym's Kali-Yuga Bizarre Reborn: A Vinyl Resurrection!

In a move that has sent shockwaves through the underground scene, Hammerheart Records has unleashed a reissue of Aborym's 1999 masterpiece, Kali-Yuga Bizarre, onto Milky Clear/Blue Splatter and Transparent Red Vinyl. This is not just a re-release; it’s a call to arms for all black metal aficionados to revisit the chaos that Aborym so masterfully crafted.

Aborym's debut effort was a storm, a quintet of musical mayhem that features the haunting vocals of Yorga, the layer-laden bass and effects wizardry of Malfeitor Fabban, and the razor-sharp guitar work from Sethlans and Nisrok. But it’s the darkly enchanting presence of Attila Csihar—best known for his work with Mayhem—that elevates this album into another dimension, lending his hellish growls to three tracks that will haunt your psyche.

The album is a relentless onslaught that oscillates between pure black metal fury and an industrial undercurrent that seeps into tracks like the second cut, “Horrenda Peccata Christ.” Yet, even as it plunges into the depths of darkness, the album showcases brilliance in tracks like “Roma Divina Urbs,” which juxtaposes clean choruses against an abyss of chaos, echoing the grandiosity reminiscent of Emperor. It’s a masterclass in dynamics that ensures the album never grows stale.

With interludes like the breakbeat instrumental “Tantra Bizarre” and the heretical “Come Thou Long Expected Jesus,” a twisted blend of somber hymns and provocative spoken word, the album refuses to be pigeonholed. These non-metal elements weave a narrative that enhances the listening experience, leading into tracks like “Metal Stricken Terror Action,” which erupts into an unrelenting death/thrash assault before the symphonic outro, “The First Four Trumpets,” brings the chaos to a haunting close.

This reissue is more than just a nostalgic trip down memory lane; it’s a reminder of why Kali-Yuga Bizarre is a cornerstone of the genre. The evil is back, and it’s as potent as ever. Get your copy now—before it disappears into the void once more!
