Aborym
Fire Walk With Us

Year 2001. "Fire Walk With Us" is released. After the extremely powerful right hook of "Kali Yuga Bizarre", Aborym strike again with a tremendous LEFT UPPER CUT, right in the face, to extreme music. But let's take a few steps back!

In the interval between the release of the two albums, Aborym parted ways with singer Yorga, and Attila Csihar became a permanent member of the band, marking a significant part of our twenty-year career.

With this lineup change, the second phase of Aborym's life begins.

The band (now based in Rome), two years after the success and hype stirred by their very first studio album, decides not to settle at all and to revolutionize their music. The style and that initial trademark set with the debut album remain, but the sonic recipe is hyper-enriched, totally darker and overwhelmingly, devastatingly, HORRIFYING heavy!

"Fire is synonymous with destruction and we are aware of having made a DESTRUCTIVE record. The light that burns and destroys, but also something intangible that purifies. The fire. Pan. Panic and therefore fear of all that is in everything. Crossing the flames without being burned." " Fabban, 2001

The fire.
We come into contact with this element from the cover created by Fabban, as on "Kali Yuga Bizarre," and even from just that, it is clear that "Fire Walk With Us" (a title with Lynchian echoes) is not an album like the others. A red-hot red engulfs and floods a secluded realm of industries, two fundamental elements stand out: a sliver of sun, fluorescent, radioactive, acidic, and the hidden face of a demon watching the one about to be sucked into the music awaiting them inside the album. In the booklet, among the portraits of the band's members, in a bizarre cut-up photograph, a phrase, a statement of intent, a THREAT rises:
[Adore us or hate us... but don't try to imitate us, 'cause we don't really belong to the same planet.]

Let's blast "Fire Walk..." on the stereo, and "Our Sentence" erupts in violence. Immediately, we are struck by the new elements that refresh and make Aborym's music angrier. The industrial darkness of the sounds, the mechanical production that renders the cynical and alienating pounding of the drum machine, a sinister echo in our own subconscious. And then Csihar's performance, theatrical and expressive over the sonic and cadenced chaos created by the bulk of sounds, samplings, and effects embedded one by one in the song's sonic fabric. As if that weren't enough, the riffs by Sethlans and Nysrok, horribly catchy yet complex at the same time, deceive us, hypnotize us, narcotize the listener who doesn’t even find comfort in the almost reassuring final groove of the song, sending them into the abyss of absolute sound terrorism called "Love The Death As The Life," a programmatic title, for one of the most brutal and harsh episodes of the disc. 6 minutes of musical bombardment, in crescendo, that strike and frighten us, showing us how Aborym's greatest strengths lie in their musical aggression. "White Space" is disturbing, for its samples and the atmosphere it manages to unleash. The riffs, cinematically sublime, transport us to the fourth track, the title track.
A strummed start on "strange" noises and, suddenly in the course of time, the immediate avalanche caused by one of the most ferocious attacks ever in Aborym's music. A track that the writer finds it almost hard to describe, such is the magnificence and sonic refinement that permeate it, rendering it almost absurd, unreal... beyond the very concept of extreme metal.

"Our non-metal listening habits have greatly influenced us, but the desire to 'go beyond' and experiment without limits and restraints is an innate element shared by all of Aborym's members, and I believe this is the most important input." Fabban, 2001

In the blink of an eye, track number four dissolves, and we find ourselves directly at a rave in the depths of hell. The experiment of "Here Is No God S.T.A." stirs and inflames our synapses with hard-techno slashes that recite:

[Bury your fears, nothing is real,
Listen to the voice, comes from beyond.
Fear is the enemy, remember you are
Nothing to learn, there is nothing to learn.
Don't want to live, but don't want to die,
