The band just revealed the song ‘Conflagration Of The Dreamers’ over here. Vocalist Simon Dower commented on it as follows: “‘Conflagration Of The Dreamers’ is the first track to be taken from our forthcoming album. We chose this track as not only does it totally shred, but it’s also a great indicator of what’s to come on the rest of our new dead set ripping compositions. A brutal thrashy, Death Metal affair that combines the groove that ABRAMELIN are known for, but also hints at our new sound and direction. Lyrically, ‘Conflagration Of The Dreamers’ is a follow up to ‘Flesh Furnace’ (from our “Deadspeak” album, 2000), and brings us up to speed with this murderous pyro and his propensity for setting his sleeping victims on fire (thus the name of the track).” Here’s the complete “Sins Of The Father” tracklist: ‘Conflagration Of The Dreamers’, ‘The Gory Hole’, ‘Sins Of The Father’, ‘Man’s Best Friend’, ‘Last Rite’, ‘Shell Of A Man’, ‘Deceased Estate’, ‘Meet The Meat’, ‘Street Art’ and ‘You Bleed, I Feed’. www.facebook.com/abramelinofficial
