Abyssum creator Rex Ebvleb disperses his current thinking through a series of side projects under the name El Nigromante (the Necromancer), and the latest of these has popped up (better than “dropped,” I think) as a project named Desolation with a new demo, “Demo 5: Ultimo Viaje.”

Like previous releases from this outlet and Abyssum itself, this attempts to combine the black metal spirit with ritual ambient music, allowing crossover back and forth in these related genres.
