Phylogenesis

"Certainly an evolution from their past, but also a statement to their resilience, Abysmal Dawn show themselves stronger than ever with an album that is precise, poignant, and merciless in its brutality".

"In a world of instant gratification, six years is a long wait for a new record. But rest assured, Phylogenesis is worth every second of patience. From the opening salvo of Mundane Existence right through to the crushing close of Flattening of Emotions, Elliot and co. leave little room to catch a breath. Though the increased use of technicality at the expense of many of the blackened death metal elements that made Obsolescence so special stings, there is an urgent sense of viciousness to Phylogenesis that the band have never achieved before - and the guitar work from Elliot, particularly in his soloing, is better than ever. The presence of ABYSMAL DAWN at the forefront of the death metal scene has been greatly missed".

"Således er Abysmal Dawn absolut et af de bands, der tegner den anden bølge af amerikansk dødsmetal, og med 'Phylogenesis' beviser de, at de hører til blandt de bands, der, på godt og ondt, vil være med til at tegne fremtiden de næste år. Det er en bundsolid udgivelse, der viser et band med styr på deres fag, men mangler lige den sang, der får pladen til at hænge ved. `Phylogenesis' er faktisk en ganske udmærket plade, som bare lige mangler det sidste for at være decideret god".
