Ich glaube es ist gescheiter, hier einen neuen Thread aufzumachen, als im Black Metal Unterforum weiter zu machen. Nach den Tod von PK tauchen Sachen aus der Vergangenheit auf!

also, a map was found where PK had collected his guitar tabs, notes and lyrics dating back to our demo days of 1993! which showed much of "NACHTHYMNEN" was already written in summer 1994.

Excuse the nostalgia, but it is rare that such old relics surface after more than 30 years. These old sheets slumbered hidden in the cellar of PK´s parents´ house, and while the ink is fading, it still radiates with the magic of youth and those glorious formative days, when Black Metal was a movement and not a market.

NEXT OPUS. The demo stage – all arrangements for guitars and bass - has been finished last week. Comprising of 6 songs or chapters, split into 2 parts. During the recording, some moments of a song were reminiscent of our third album from back in 1995, so the obvious inspiration has been reflected in its title - „Seelenasche (Nachthymne)“. Elisabeth Toriser, the original female vocalist on Nachthymnen, has just agreed to be featured on that song. Given the album will be out in 2025, exactly 30 years after Nachthymnen, synchronicities once again proved to be reliable phenomena.
OLD ALBUMS. As planned, there will be vinyl versions of Opus IV, Nachthymnen, Orkblut and Verwüstung. Not immediately all at once, but the series of LP editions has been started 2 years ago and will be continued.
If the coming new work is the last album featuring PK, or if one more is possible (not all his material has been used) remains open. But that a final chapter has begun for the band is obvious. Currently discussions are led who will accompany ABIGOR in this last period for the coming years.

ABIGOR (AUT) – Demos 1993-1994
Darkness Shall Rise Productions hereby presents the complete ABIGOR demo-recordings.
For the first time, these five tapes (''Ash Nazg …'', ''Lux Devicta Est'', ''Promo Tape 2/94'', ''Moonrise'' and ''In Hate & Sin'') are compiled as a stand-alone 2LP/2CD album, accompanied by extensive photo material and an in-depth interview, covering the period from the formative 1980s, over the conditions leading to the establishment of the band, up to the days when a deal for their debut ''Verwüstung/Invoke The Dark Age'' was signed.
The direct and unveiled nature of these recordings invites the listener to travel back in time, step into ABIGOR's rehearsal cellar and experience the raw, youthful energy which shows a different side of the band than the successive recordings at Hörnix Studio.
The pressing and print quality make this double-album the ultimate memorial to the reckless bygone days not only of ABIGOR but also of Black Metal as a whole.
After more than 30 years, the hands-on experiments of those simple, analogue times still work their magic!
Available on 2LP in three different colors, 2CD A5 digibook and digital.
Also available: A reprint of the first-ever ABIGOR shirt, designed by the band in January 1994. Only one single copy has survived in the archives of P.K.
