Abigail Williams bringing black metal to The Aruba
They’re nominally a black metal band, though Abigail Williams’ sound isn’t as monochromatic as that handle might imply.
The group’s color palette has shifted over the years, evolving from a straightforward metalcore crunch to heightened symphonic flourishes to a more dense and dark aesthetic.
The group’s latest disc, “Becoming,” sees the band embracing atmosphere and texture to a greater extent than they have previously.
So, just what have they become?
Suffocating.
