"Abandon [uh-ban-duh n.]: The concept of leaving completely and finally forsake utterly; desert: to abandon a child; to abandon a sinking ship. To give up; discontinue; withdraw from: to abandon hope. To give up the control of: to abandon a city to an enemy army. To yield (oneself) without restraint or moderation; give (oneself) over to natural impulses, usually without self-control: to abandon oneself. Law. to cast away, leave, or desert, as property or a child. Obsolete. To banish."
Following the unrestrained act of aggression that was 2014's Altamont Rising (CSR 195CD), Shift returns to more personal and ethereal domains on Abandon. Created over a ten year period from a huge cache of sources, boiled down to four tracks of unyielding slow moving heaviness. Abandon features several guest appearances and is Shift's most complex recording to date. Comes in a six-panel, spot-varnished digipak.

Ferocious and misanthropic new full-length from Sweden's son Shift. Altamont Rising is a calibration of the cosmic equilibrium in seven chapters presented by Shift. The album deals with the consequences of man defying nature with Altamont as an example of what happens when pushed far enough. Three works/events stand as inspiration for the album: Apocalypse Now, Valhalla Rising and Altamont Free Festival. Altamont Rising is a brutal amalgamation of malicious vocals, drenched in heavy, claustrophobic death industrial and harsh noise.
