The legendary band Autopsy was buried 1996. Then Chris and
Danny created a new band called Abscess. This band was
supposed to have the same direction as the old band. Heavy
brutal gore-metal when it’s as its best. "Through The
Cracks Of Death" is their fourth cd. Joe Allen on bass
entered the band after this recording. During 2002 the
band signed a contract with Peaceville records and
recorded this cd in Different Fur Recording studios in San
Francisco. The band was aquatinted with the studio since
before. "Mental Funeral" with the band Autopsy was
recorded here in 1990. The band has created 11 songs on
their record I have listened to the promo and my
impression is that the whole record is about death,
darkness and evil with songs like "Raping The Multiverse",
"Escalation Of Violence", "16 Horrors", "Die For Today",
and the titeltrack as well.

The band is supposed to play gore-metal according to the
info. I have another opinion. For me it sounds more like
heavy death metal, more melodic, more rhythm changes.
There are parts with less speed in it as well. Parts of it
are very fast. I haven’t heard the records before so I
can only review this one.
This is a good mindfuck and blows all sorrows away. The
record is a bigwig and I really like it. There are
similarities with the old Entombed sound.
Earlier this year Chris came to Sweden to produce the
second record with the Swedish band Murder Squad with
members from Entombed/Dismember. The cd is expected this
year.
