ABORYM - "With No Human Intervention" - Reviews

Aaargh!!! extreme chaotic black metal (and i mean BLACK metal riffs, not heavy metal riffs with black metal distortion, as many "black" bands nowadays do). Aborym's black metal it's accompanied of industrial and electronic sounds to create an atmosphere of their own and with a high level of creativity.
If you hate electronic stuff or the very complex arrangements, maybe this album will not be pleasant for you, but anyway, this will be without a doubt, one of the top 10 of 2003 in the metal kingdom.

Sons of Satan gather for attack!!! A killer black metal album from Aborym in days when most black metal releases seems to lack of passion and originality. This album does not contain pure black metal. There are many industrial parts and electronic ones. The production is killer and the frontcover too. If you like Dodheimsgard and the latest releases of Satyricon and Mayhem then go ahead! I could describe them as a “digital” black metal band. I really like this release and I think that open-minded black metallers will agree with me. Only…chaos is real!!!

Aborym - With No Human Intervention
Code666, 2003 8/10

The Italian black metal band Aborym is perhaps mostly known to be the current band of the former Tormentor member Attila Csihar who also made an appearance on the legendary Mayhem album "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" in 1993. It's a good thing that more people have opened their eyes and ears to these guys because their new album "With No Human Intervention" definitely shows a band set in steady development. Instead of clinging on to the past with claws and teeth they are letting go of the conventional ways of black metal to creat something new and refreshing. Aborym have been around for more than a decade by now and even though Malfeitor Fabban is the only original member still left in the band they must be sees as one of the veterans on the Italian metal scene. Their third album displays them playing chaotic and violent black metal with lots of electronics and samples that help in creating a massive and futuristic soundscape. This is by far the most interesting, complex and mature album that Aborym have produced so far and I'm glad that some bands succeed in mixing a great deal of electronics with more traditional black metal. Their country and label mates Thee Maldoror Kollective did a fine job with their album "New Era Viral Order" last year and now Aborym more or less follow the same path. Even though there are some techno sounds in one or two of the songs on the album this is a great release that I would recommend to anyone who is into experimental black metal. Stand-out tracks: "With No Human Intervention", "Black Hole Spell".
