ABIGAIL WILLIAMS is Ken Sorceron (ex-Aborted, ex-The Faceless, Vale Of Pnath, Nachtmystium) on vocals and guitars, Vance Valenzuela (Vale Of Pnath) on guitars, John Porada (ex-Nachtmystium, ex-Wolvhammer) on bass and Mike Heller (Fear Factory, Malignancy) on drums. With Sorceron retaining his leading role, the band expands on its unique and intensive sound, forged throughout six studio albums, and anchored in black metal with shades of death metal & symphonic metal.
Their last album, “A Void Within Existence” was released to critical acclaim in 2025. Produced by frontman Ken Sorceron and mixed by renowned engineer Dave Otero (Aborted, Akhlys), the album is a scorched offering of black metal transcendence: harrowing, cinematic, and utterly uncompromising. Lyrically, it dives deep into existential themes of loss, disintegration, and unreality. Tracks like “Still Nights” and “No Less Than Death” reflect on identity through surreal and fragmented images – distant lights, poisoned memories, dreams where “there is no pain”. Elsewhere, songs like “Embrace The Chasm” and “Life, Disconnected” summon visions of cosmic dread and personal oblivion, confronting the listener with raw emotion and esoteric vision.
The record is accompanied by striking cover art from Eliran Kantor (Testament, Bloodbath), whose visual interpretation mirrors the inner desolation and mythic scope of the music.
