Once upon a time, before I was a battle-jacket-wearing, corpse-paint-adorned, trve-metal warrior of the highest order, I was a high-school prog nerd. The djent wave was cresting just as I began to really delve deeper into music, and the hordes of technical, djenty bands with ultra-modern production and surprising amounts of melody still sit near and dear to my heart, even if I rarely reach back into the Sumerian-scented pile in my regular listening habits. 1 That’s why when I saw the promo for Hiraeth, the 2nd album by Brazilian prog metallers Abstracted, with comparisons to The Contortionist, The Human Abstract, and Between the Buried and Me, I couldn’t help but get a little excited at the prospect of newer music tapping into those formative sounds. Abstracted have been a band since 2013, and their long-gestating debut record, 2022’s Atma Conflux, was an effective and varied slab of djenty progressive death metal, marred by tepid production and less-than-stellar clean vocals. More than anything, though, it showed potential as a record brimming with ideas that was so close to being great. With Hiraeth, can the Brazilian group finally unify their influences into something more than the sum of their parts?

On Hiraeth, Abstracted demonstrates a thorough understanding of contemporary progressive metal styles and integrates them into something all their own. The band’s main sound is a djent-fueled take on modern progressive death metal, closest to early-era The Contortionist in its blending of odd-meter riffery, post-rock-influenced textures, and an enticing contrast between melancholic space-age cleans and technical 6-string chugs. Abstracted balance this with more traditional Haken-esque classic prog turnarounds and jazz breaks (“Sirens”), fast-paced Between the Buried and Me riff marathons (“To Quench This Insatiable Thirst”), and harmonic nuance within darker moments à la Persefone (“Requiem”). The result is a varied and dynamic set of tunes that glide effortlessly between impressive riff-fueled aggression and cathartic melodies. Songs like “The Utter End” and “The Barren Grave of God” demonstrate the band’s ability to naturally move from strength to strength without missing a beat, unfolding across expansive guitar arpeggios, delightfully off-kilter breakdowns, virtuosic solos, and powerful musical climaxes.

Hiraeth by Abstracted

This level of fluidity and genre cohesion on Hiraeth is only made possible by the high level of musicianship Abstracted display. Guitarists José Consani and Leonardo Brito give varied performances that successfully meld more djent-centric playing with classic death metal sensibilities and demonstrate keen melodic ears with dense jazz chords and powerful lead lines. Drummer Fernando Pollen blends Latin grooves with acrobatic modern metal flourishes, and the production’s more natural drum tone allows his dynamic nuances to guide several songs. 2 On bass, Riverton Alves turns in a thoroughly warm and jazz-based, Cynic-flavored performance that shines during quieter moments, while keyboardist Carol Lynn supplies plenty of atmosphere through subtle synth textures and steps to the forefront a few times with quirky, but effective synth lines reminiscent of Diego Tejeida. Together, this ensemble breathes plenty of life into a style of music that can often feel over-processed, and their performances help to unify this collection of songs into a cohesive whole.The only elements of Hiraeth that aren’t immediately impressive are the vocals and the production. Rosano Pedro Matiussi delivers an impassioned performance, and his vocal lines often fit the songs well, but his clean singing lacks a certain impact or personality to elevate good moments into great ones. Initially, this was enough to deter me from really digging deeper and appreciating the songcraft on display, but the singing grew on me quite a bit with time. Similarly, his death growls are solid, if not one-note, and they feel like they exist more so to fill a role than to accent particular sections. This could potentially be the production’s fault, as Hiraeth sounds generally good and more natural than the swaths of overproduced modern prog 3 but lacks a certain sonic clarity, occasionally making especially dense sections harder to parse. There’s a distinct lack of reverb on the harsh vocals, and I can’t help but wonder if a stronger mix could fit the layered clean singing a bit better. Matiussi’s vocals are far from bad, and there are parts like the somber intro to “Requiem” where he sounds great, but when everything else is operating at such a high level, they feel like a weak link.

With Hiraeth, Abstracted have delivered an impressive piece of modern progressive metal. This record is a grower for sure, with dense and layered compositions often revealing their clever construction and intense interconnectedness only after repeated spins. Even if the vocals leave a little to be desired, the Brazilian group has successfully combined the sounds of several of the best modern prog bands into something exciting and nuanced.

Chatty blackbirds and robins
As dusk envelops the village.

So glad the bird feeder idea
Has their evident approval.

Thankyou, Universe;
This will do nicely :)

[P] It's difficult to feel solastalgia when slurried neurotypical collectives try so very hard to make every neurodivergent feel as though they're alien. For others it might be solastalgia. For me it's hiraeth. Woof. I do feel sad that the oceans have reached another tipping point, this world was once so beautiful. It was pretty great when it was just bacteria, then again when it was just plants, but now? ...

Hiraeth, Nightwish

"Neverending
Longing for the what if's
For a home that once was
For a ghost love lullaby"

(Hiraeth is a Welsh word, usually translated as "longing", but that term is too tame)

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l7EadJWG4PM

#Nightwish #Hiraeth

I breathed in all the green around me today as if it was air. I paddled in the mountain stream and felt the cool, clear water. My ears were filled with birdsong and the rustling of leaves. I feel the deepest of connections to this place where I've lived all my life. I know it and I feel it knows me. To walk amongst these trees is to be amongst family. #hiraeth #belonging #love #nature #trees #home

Our reacquaintance
Stirred a #hiraeth of my youth
Played together then
Reunited played again
In a very different way

#haiku #tanka #vss365

Peddling my shoddy wares
to a world that ain't buying
sure takes it's toll
on this cynical soul
as the stained walls
of my motel room
slowly engulf weary me

This bottle of cheap whiskey
will have to suffice
to drown this vagabond's life
in a 90 proof sea
of #hiraeth longings

I thought I'd start doing my own #WelshWordOfTheDay partly to help with my learning and partly for fun. We'll see how long I manage to keep it going.

Today's word:

Hiraeth

Which means "longing" and is usually used to mean a longing for Wales. Very familiar to anyone who's been away from Wales for a while.

After 5 months of no walks, finally got back up a (small) mountain in glorious weather today. Foel Goch in the Arenig range is a very modest 2,004 feet, but stands isolated from other ranges giving it an amazing panorama from Yr Wyddfa, Glyderau, Carneddau, Clwydian Hills, Y Berwyn, the Hirnant Hills, Aranau, Cader Idris and Arenig Fawr and Fach.

Quite emotional to be back in the hills, it's such a boost to my mental health. Bonus Bronze Age standing stone and cairn too.

@JamieNemeth There used to be a website that would list football league tables in teletext style, and every weekend I curse its demise. Seeing the Fourth Division table presented in its rightful format gave me a profound sense of #hiraeth every time.

Ystumtuen - canol y 70au. #Triumph gynt o wasanaeth heddlu Dyfnaint. Ddim y cyntaf na'r olaf - ond y beic gorau a fu gen i. #hiraeth

@KateCelyn I love that view. There is a tiny beach next to the harbour where we used to go because it was safer than the big beach for my much younger brother to play in the water. The railway curves around from the viaduct and went virtually over our heads. 60 years ago and I still miss it.

@Mjo321 I felt hiraeth all my life without knowing what it was or having a word for it. In 1999 we moved to Llangollen having tried north, south and middle England and felt weirdly at home. Then after 17 happy years we moved to be nearer the grandchildren and I'm devastated. #hiraeth

I miss the time before everyone decided adult sleepovers are supposed to be sexual. I just want to get cozy together, rewatch a favorite movie, cuddle, bake something tasty, and have an excuse to make everyone cappuccinos in the morning.

We can make it “adult” by sharing the music we listen to when we’re having anxiety attacks with each other.
