Abbie Falls has finally announced its new album.
Rooted in the Czech Core scene, the band, composed of Tomás Klár (vocals/lyrics), Lukás Dzkanovsky (guitar/composition), Vojta Pacesny (guitar/composition/production), Adam Karásek (guitar), and Patrik Machácek (drums) has signed with Inside Out Music and unveiled Life is just a temporary plan to close out 2025.
We kick off with FURY, a fairly short first track rooted in aggressive Old School Deathcore, but mixed with disturbing noise samples and chaotic patterns, before moving on to the motivating Black Void, which takes off at full speed and offers a catchy, raw groove. The more complex parts reinforce the explosive mix, with the vocalist unleashing both massive growls and high-pitched screams, before the finale propels us into Victim, which remains very raw while some effects take on futuristic electronic touches. The break will bring everyone together before moving on to descend.exe, which begins calmly and ominously, but this is obviously short-lived as the rhythm and its sub-bass will weigh everything down, leaving a few Trap parts to maintain the darkness. Breakdown of Sanity joins the musicians to turn Purge into a veritable mass grave with furious roots coupled with harmonics that are as heady as they are dissonant, then Anomaly in G minor begins with Grapefruit Astronauts. A Geiger counter buzzes in the background while the guitars express themselves in a very sophisticated way, drawing on classical influences and keyboards before giving way once again to saturation, then making way for Chaos Disciples, where the band returns to its usual, fairly modern approach, as reflected in the cybernetic touches that punctuate the rhythm. You can tell that the song is intended for live performance, as is Approach of the Second Sun, which returns to visceral savagery but allows itself a fairly deconstructed break before a final centered on a fairly simple beat. Hellbound offers a short respite before unleashing its industrial-tinged metalcore riffs. The track is quite different from the others, mainly because of its irregular and predominantly electronic rhythm, but the band returns to its usual violence with Unnatural Order, featuring Distant’s Alan Grnja, adding a massive finishing touch with some almost danceable passages to the album.
Now well established in the current Metalcore landscape, Abbie Falls hits hard with a new opus that brings together everything we love about them: violence, a modern touch, and diverse influences. Life is just a temporary plan will have no trouble winning us over.
