Abysmal Rites joins Wormholedeath Records

Hailing from the heart of Finland, heavy sludge trio ABYSMAL RITES is thrilled to announce their signing with Wormholedeath Records for their highly anticipated album, Restoring The Primordial Order, set to unleash its sonic fury on May 9, 2025.

“We are stoked to get signed to Wormhole Death Records! We have been in touch with the company staff since the debut album was in the making and this time we were on the same page again. Huge thanks to everybody involved—we feel honored to be part of the WHD family! Cheers!” – stated ABYSMAL RITES

Recorded deep within the Finnish forest, Restoring The Primordial Order captures the raw energy and authenticity that defines ABYSMAL RITES. The duo, known for their primal and brutal heavy/sludge sound, recorded the bass and drums live, ensuring that the album mirrors the intensity of their electrifying performances.

While their debut album was a journey of experimentation, Restoring The Primordial Order marks a significant evolution in their sound. The pieces have finally fallen into place, showcasing a solidified identity that resonates with their vision.

The album explores themes that explore the core of humanity and reflects on how our behaviors drive us toward inevitable destruction. Despite the wealth of information and opportunities available, humanity seems destined to veer toward a dead end—a realization that offers the band a strange sense of comfort. ABYSMAL RITES confronts the harsh truth of mankind’s struggle to coexist respectfully with each other and with nature itself.

Join ABYSMAL RITES as they prepare to unleash their most powerful work yet, and witness the evolution of heavy sludge music from the depths of Finland.

Formed in late 2021 in Tampere, Finland, ABYSMAL RITES began as a duo and quickly evolved into a trio, solidifying their lineup with J on drums, M on bass, and R on vocals. Their first taste of success came with the music video “Polluted,” which was selected for the Most Bizarre category at the Berlin Music Video Festival. Their debut full-length album, Nihilism Is Realism, was self-released in 2023, showcasing their clear vision and determination to carve out a unique sound in the heavy music landscape.

With Restoring The Primordial Order, ABYSMAL RITES invites listeners to join them on a journey through the depths of human experience, wrapped in a sound that is as heavy as it is thought-provoking.
