OFFICIAL CELEBRATION FOR THE NEW RELEASE on RELEASE DAY!

ABHORRENT EXPANSE featuring: Luke Polipnick, Erik Fratzke, Tim Glenn, Brian Courage celebrate their new debut album, “Gateways to Resplendence”.

Abstract, ecstatic, and pummeling, Abhorrent Expanse’s “Gateways to Resplendence” articulates the unspeakable dread which dwells in the sepulchral caverns of the mind. A grotesquely improvised manifesto plumbing from the depths of blackened death, funeral doom, noise, and free jazz, it defies the listener to decipher its riddles and confront its paradoxes. The ensemble builds on the deep history of collaboration between its four members to present a new way forward. Many duo and trio gigs helped them develop a new musical lexicon uniting the raw sonic intensity of extreme metal with the wide spectrum of textures common to free improvisation. By the time Erik Fratzke (Zebulon Pike, Happy Apple) and Tim Glenn (The Blight, Celestiial, Obsequiae) joined Brian Courage and Luke Polipnick in the studio, uniting the full quartet for the first time, the connection was immediate. Adam Tucker at Signaturetone Recording, a brilliant engineer and musician in his own right, used a variety of unorthodox techniques to help the band convey their vision. The resulting album is awash with contradictions, an organic, multifaceted, and deeply challenging listening experience that will push fans of both genres to their limits.

SUNLESS: dissonant death metal from Minneapolis, MN supports this night of sonic doom.
