Abhorrence Jewel Case

AbhorranceCognitiveAlbumGenre: MetalLabel: Metal BladeDescription: Technical death metal troupe Cognitive are back with Abhorrence their fifth full length album and a tremendously worthy successor to 2021's Malevolent Thoughts of a Hastened Extinction. This is the New Jersey powerhouse quintet at its brutal best - unrelenting riffs leave the listener stunned while a wave of thoughtful devastating lyrics washes over. The album is a turbulent draining but ultimately fulfilling experience. Cognitive started work on Abhorrence while touring Malevolent Thoughts of a Hastened Extinction sending tracks back and forth to each other while trekking from one intense gig to another. This promises to be a big year for Cognitive as they take Abhorrence on the road and bring more people into their vile new world. 13 years after the release of their debut EP the band's fifth full-lengther sees them continue to make giant strides forward while retaining the elements of their past efforts that got them this far. Abhorrence may provide therapeutic commentary about how messed up the world currently is but also ironically provides a breath of fresh air. We're all in this together so catch Cognitive on the road this year.
