ABRAMS: new album and single announced on Blues Funeral Recordings!

US heavy rock powerhouse ABRAMS to issue new album "Loon" on Blues Funeral Recordings this spring; first single "Glass House" streaming!

Denver-based heavy rock and post-hardcore goldsmiths ABRAMS blast the blistering debut single and visualizer taken from their upcoming new full-length "Loon", to be issued on April 17th through Blues Funeral Recordings. 

With American idealism and societal unity in flames, ABRAMS’ ethereal ambiance has been permeated by vibrating, hair-trigger fury. 2024’s soaring and driving Blue City was a record full of arresting, nostalgic textures. This is no longer the world of that album.

The grinding hopelessness and chaos of these times have infused ABRAMS with the shattering intensity of Converge. Urgent and abrasive, Loon is acerbic, fed up, and riddled with pulverizing fury. Wistful melodies warp into dissonance and aggression. Crystalline beauty is inhabited by bitterness and rage. The band’s instinctive hooks aren't gone, and hopeful moments do shine intermittently through. But it’s clear that ABRAMS, like a lot of us, are pissed off. Desperate and seething, Loon is an irresistible, frenzied purge from a band refusing to give in.

On the album, guitarist and vocalist Zach Amster comments: "With each album, our goal is to evolve and not write the same record over and over again. There is no doubt in my mind our album "Loon" is the most unique Abrams record to date. It features some of the most aggressive and heavy Abrams tunes while also sharing some of our most poppy and melodic moments. Vocally, this is the most confident I have felt performance-wise, which sets the mood for the rather dark lyrical content, fitting for the daily bullshit and volatility we are forced to endure. The lead single and opening track, Glass House is a good precursor of what to expect with "Loon". We hope you enjoy!"

ABRAMS blast forth a cathartic mix of driving rhythms, soaring vocals and dreamy ambiance. Fusing melody and dissonance, guitarist/vocalist Zach Amster, bassist/vocalist Taylor Iversen, drummer Ryan DeWitt and guitarist Graham Zander wield elements of heavy rock, shoegaze, grunge and hardcore with ease and fluency, crafting a blend that's bittersweet and familiar while urgently gazing forward.

Hailed as “one of the most musically diverse and emotionally impactful bands in the scene" by Distorted Sound Magazine, the Denver band's captivating approach finds them sharing terrain with the likes of Torche, Cave In and Converge, while their command of chunky, hooky riffs recalls alt-rock icons Hum and Quicksand, though this swirling amalgam of influences isn't the totality of ABRAMS. Having shared the stage with Dozer, Unsane, KEN mode, King Buffalo, Khemmis and Emma Ruth Rundle, the foursome has always strived to deliver memorable live shows.

A spearhead of the Denver rock scene, ABRAMS joined the ranks of tastemaker label Blues Funeral Recordings in 2024 for the release of their cornerstone album Blue City. Recorded and produced by Kurt Ballou (Converge, High On Fire), it saw their genre-defying heaviness and perfect melodic songcraft meld seamlessly into what Metal Hammer Magazine described as "an upswell of positivity in the face of frustration that’s sure to shake you from your existential slumber".

Their new album Loon will arrive on April 17th, 2026 on Blues Funeral Recordings, just in time for their first European tour the following month, including a performance at DesertFest London.
