style

Wolf-Rüdiger Mühlmann from Rock Hard describes the release as “recorded screams during a self-torture by the two makers”, “drug abuse set to music” and “procedure of complete freedom from melodies. Noises, moods, pure noise , pitch-black noise, evocative and horribly abnormal. " Euronymous , who brought out the album, had Abruptum as" The Audial Essence of Pure Black Evil ". ), IT took this description as accurate and insisted that Abruptum was not a band and did not play music.

layout

The original pressing was "completely wrapped in black, without information and song titles". The following DSP pressings show the lettering and the title of the album on the cover, pictures of the musicians and information about the making of the recordings on the back. When it was re-released by Blooddawn Productions, a new cover was added.

reception

According to Mühlmann, if the album were released nowadays, the “obligatory box set version costing more than 50 euros could consist of a mini padded cell , lots of psychotropic drugs and surgical instruments that help the solvent Can instruct and carve buyers themselves ”. Abruptum was "probably the craziest, most deviant ejection of Black Metal of the early nineties" and Obscuritatem advoco amplectère me "the most blatant album in the very short but eventful history of the cult label"; it is “actually inaudible, but in a radical way with a cleansing effect. [...] These two guys, very young at the time and full of overflowing self-destruction, were serious at the time. And you can hear that every second. "
