This 1st pressing is limited to 2,700 copies worldwide.  **THIS IS A PRE-ORDER, LP WILL NOT SHIP UNTIL MARCH 25th, 2022**. Riff-master Abbath Doom Occulta cements his place among the Metal hierarchy with ‘Dread Reaver’, his 3rd full-length studio album with eponymous project ABBATH.
His signature blend of blistering Speed Metal, Traditional Metal influences, and touches of ice cold Black Metal creates a sound and style that is distinctly his. Its spirited, balls-to-the-walls energy certifies ‘Dread Reaver’ as the quintessential anthem for total Metal mayhem. There's also a cover of Metallica's classic "Trapped Under 
Ice"...like you really needed another reason to buy this record, right?
Here's the thing with Abbath
 – you essentially know what to expect, but then you listen to the 
record and you're smacked with surprise and delight. It's the variations
 on the theme that he does so well. Dread Reaver only further 
solidifies the fact that we're experiencing the work of the one the 
greatest songwriters in Extreme Metal history. Abbath
 was always so much more than an internet meme and a caricature, and 
this record only gives further credence as to how gifted of a songwriter
 and performer he really is. Nothing seems to stop him and we're so 
grateful for that. Season Of Mist – SOM650LP
