DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
Available on both CD and gatefold LP.
  While not quite as balls-out weird as country mates Sigh, sleazoid Japanese black thrashers Abigail put their own eccentric spin on a classic black/thrash attack, and are still one of my favorite bands of this ilk from that corner of the globe. Their 1996 debut album Intercourse & Lust remains one of their most ferocious slabs of perverted black metal hysteria; originally released by the Aussie label Modern Invasion, Intercourse had been out of print for ages before Nuclear War Now unleashed this latest reissue on us, complete with the revised cover art that features Hokusai's infamous squidfuck masterpiece The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife. Beautiful!
   The vicious Intercourse features nine tracks of Abigail's feral, slightly sloppy blackened thrash, with most of the album's lyrics written by Chuck Keller of Order From Chaos/Ares Kingdom. The music has a definite early Mayhem influence, along with a big ol' dose of classic Teutonic thrash, but Abigail mutate those influences into a blistering speed assault that cranks the sneering punk attitude up to a frenzied new level, and splatters their sound with some of the craziest goddamn guitar solos this side of Hell Awaits-era Hanneman. Much of this album races by at blistering blasting tempos, but there's a couple of ferociously rocking tracks like "Attack With Spell" where they drop some vicious, super-catchy Venomesque blackened punk onto the listener while front man Yasuyuki retches out a rabid array of distorted yelps and screams. A weird growling synth-bass-like effect shows up briefly on the snarling blast-orgy of "Strength Of Other World" that, for a brief moment in the middle of the track, breaks into this weird, proggy little interlude right before the band crashes back in to the blazing necro-punk assault. Yasuyuki's vocals reached a sublime level of insanity on this album, often rupturing into an insanely unhinged ultra-distorted yowl that's definitely reminiscent of Takaho from noise-grinders Unholy Grave. And the band gives us another one of their trademark weirdo synthesizer interludes on the title track, with spacey soundtracky synths and a delicate xylophone melody leading right into the oddly atmospheric multi-part closer "Hail Yakuza", a sprawling instrumental that features samples from cult Japanese crime flicks playing out over a slower, swirling, jangling black metal dirge before moving into odd waltzing rhythms and blasts of anthemic thrash. Killer stuff that's right up there with the classic Forever Street Metal Bitch album, essential for anyone in thrall to the "Black Metal Yakuza".   © CRUCIAL BLAST
