This album completely flew below my radar and it's a little of an oddball, being stuck between 2010's Phantasmagoria and 2024's Opus Daemoniacal, which are not quite as Limbonic Art-ish as this one here. This is keyboard-heavy black metal like one would expect from the band, though the guitars do take a little more room than in the past, to good effect. It's really the atmosphere that makes this album. It's over the top, insanely powerful music wrapped into a very satanic atmosphere and some passages are downright creepy, the kind of stuff that wouldn't sound out of place in a satanic horror movie. The vocals are haunting and out of this world, which add even more effect to the creepy, ominous atmosphere. I've been listening to the band's early stuff in the past few weeks and Spectre Abysm fits right in with the band's classics.
