ABIGAIL WILLIAMS will be touring in support of The Accuser released last October via Candlelight Records. Fronted by founding vocalist/guitarist Ken Sorceron (ex-Lord Mantis), ABIGAIL WILLIAMS now features guitarist Jeff Wilson (Wolvhammer, Chrome Waves, Doomsday, La Chant Funebre), and drummer Charlie Fell (Cobalt, ex-Lord Mantis, ex-Avichi) with recording bassist Will Lindsay (Indian, Lord Mantis, Anatomy Of Habit) and live bassist Micah Leonetti (Wolvhammer). Captured in just five days by Sorceron at the band’s home studio in Olympia, Washington, the eight-track offering is fittingly bleak, dark, nihilistic and infinitely engrossing and features a guest appearance by Neill Jameson (Krieg, Twilight) as well as the psychedelic cover craftings of Portland-based illustrator/tattoo artist, Stevie Floyd (Dark Castle, Taurus).
“…the best release in the band’s career, and certainly one worthy of multiple spins.” – The Metal Observer
“The Accuser cements ABIGAIL WILLIAMS‘ status as one of the great American black metal bands, capable of crafting challenging yet rewarding music that rocks as much as it is thoughtful…” – New Noise Magazine
“The Accuser will go down as ABIGAIL WILLIAMS‘ crowning achievement, and hopefully, the start of a transition towards the band they were always capable of becoming.” – Sputnik Music
“With the callous, sonically punishing The Accuser, ABIGAIL WILLIAMS have once again eschewed putting out the same record twice.” – Lambgoat
