American Black Metallers ABIGAIL WILLIAMS have just begun the recordings of their seventh full-length and successor to “A Void Within Existence” from 2025. Here’s what the band had to say about it: “Recording has begun on our 7th full-length album. Drums are done, once again handled by Mike Heller, and the rest of the work is now underway at Ken’s home studio. We began before our European tour, which was a great success, and after a couple of weeks to recover, the work has resumed in earnest. Thanks to Fortress Fest UK and Zappenduster for having us, and to our support bands in Ireland and Shagor across mainland Europe. No shortcuts are being taken; the goal is to match the intensity of our last two albums, and push it further. Another update will follow once recording is complete and we move into mixing. Release is set for early next year.” www.facebook.com/abigailwilliamsband
