Progressive doom rock new-comers The Abbey have released the latest single, “Starless,” along with a music video. The band is made up of Natalie Koskinen (SHAPE OF DESPAIR), Jesse Heikkinen (HENGET, ITERUM NATA, etc), Vesa Ranta (SENTENCED, THE MAN-EATING TREE), and Janne Markus (THE MAN-EATING TREE), and they have come together to create a haunting and powerful new sound.
“Starless” is the latest single from the band’s forthcoming debut full-length, ‘Word of Sin,’ and it showcases Koskinen’s bone-chilling powerhouse vocals. According to the band, it is the darkest song on the album, both musically and lyric-wise. Composed by guitarist Janne Markus, “Starless” showcases the heavier side of the band and the lyrics written by singer Natalie Koskinen contemplate the inner emptiness and the loss of will to live.
