Abhoria was formed by guitarist Vor (Trevor Portz of Ashen Horde) to fulfill his passion for classic, intense black metal. He gathered top - notch musicians from the L.A. metal underground, including vocalist Walthrax (ex - Catheter) and bassist Koszmar (Vimana). Working with engineer Shane Howard (Vale of Pnath, Martriden, Helleborus), they crafted a debut album that pays homage to the 90s black metal era with modern production. Rooted in the brutal side of black metal, the album combines blast beats, tremolo - picked guitars with melodic parts, doom - inspired sections, and a mix of tempos. 'Mountebank' is a high - speed black metal onslaught, while the closing track 'Sunless' is a seven - minute epic with mid - paced, atmospheric grooves and clean vocals. Despite the high energy, the album offers variety. Abhoria is dedicated to carrying forward the legacy of black metal legends like Immortal, Dark Funeral, and Emperor.
