Abigail Williams is a project founded in 2004 by multi-instrumentalist Ken Sorceron in Phoenix, which at the very beginning proposed a rather controversial combination of symphonic BM and metalcore, but later turned closer to classic black metal. The American scene has it that with time, from unobvious combinations a new style crystallizes, and sometimes even a trend. Abigail Williams does not go as far as Deafheaven, you can put them in a row with Nachtmystium or Agalloch, in their discography fans will find both Ulcerate, and Emperor. The latest release Walk Beyond the Dark (2019, Blood Music) takes the listener on a rather hypnotic journey, during which one can rub shoulders with melancholy, harsh classical riffs, some dissonance and a forest full of dark caves.
