By far the most accomplished release from Abigail Williams so far, Becomingsees a mixture of Celtic influence and the aforementioned post/math-rock genre create a fresher, haunting affair. Although some of the more traditional derivative black metal manoeuvres are still present, the guitar work is what really hits this one home. It makes for a dramatic improvement on theirheavily-criticised second album, In The Absence Of Light, which depended so much on the works of the Scandinavian Second Wave that it might as well have been re-titled The Beginner’s Guide to Norwegian Church Burning, all the whilst bringing absolutely nothing new to the (desecrated) altar. Andy Parker thinks Abigail Williams have managed to turn things around with their new album, Becoming.
