about

Abrahma’s third album "In Time for the Last Rays of Light" follows three tumultuous years of personal challenges and lineup changes. It is a chronicle of the ravages of coping with loss and mental illness, brought to bear with heavy and progressive songwriting, melodic catharsis and an impact that goes beyond the material itself.

Produced and mixed at Orgone Studios by Jaime Gomez Arellano (Paradise Lost, Ghost, etc.), "In Time for the Last Rays of Light" follows 2015’s "Reflections in the Bowels of a Bird" and whether it is the stark chug and lumbering weight of “Eclipse of the Sane Pt. 1: Isolation Ghosts” or the furious blast-beating in the prior “Lucidly Adrift,” its songs produce a depth of atmosphere that speaks to the soul that birthed them. A split with the prior lineup of the band brought the Rouen, France-based founding vocalist/guitarist Sébastien Bismuth into contact with local outfit Splendor Solis, whose members would soon be folded into the new incarnation of Abrahma. After many false starts, the band hit the studio in July 2018 and set to work on what is unmistakably their greatest accomplishment to-date: an album that copes with the depression that birthed it and soars hopefully above while reminding that the darkness beneath is ever-present.

“People do not take mental illness seriously,” says Bismuth. “People suffering from depression generally feel rejected, and it is not only a feeling. People that never gone through it generally do not really understand how hard it can be to live every day with this weight on your shoulders, all those questions going through your head.” Spanning genres and decades of influence, from the Bowie-ism of “...Last Epistle” to the gothic unfolding of closer “There Bears the Fruit of Deceit,” "In Time for the Last Rays of Light" speaks with raw honesty and lush craft to its challenges and realizations. In keeping with the album’s theme, a portion of the merch proceeds from Abrahma’s next tours will go to help those suffering from mental illness. “I decided to use this album has a medication against this depression and maybe help other people in this situation,” Bismuth recounts. “Each song explains a different side of it: loss of confidence, other’s critical looks, the impression of not having a place in this world.”

With front and back covers by famed French artist Gustave Doré (1832-1883) and a greater expanse of sound than Abrahma has ever had before, "In Time for the Last Rays of Light" confronts its demons and offers a reminder that light exists in the first place." (Words from JJ Koczan for The Obelisk)

I feel like I'm quite a late adopter, getting the green vinyl of TSBTW about 3yrs after release but I am absolutely head over heals with it. It's amazing. A rare kind of album that is going to be played an awful lot and I don't think will ever get old. The Alteration e.p. is great, as well. One album in; I hope I just jumped in on the ground floor of how big you guys deserve to be. Keep rippin every fucka a new one. Hoo-ha! Rod.
