Track By Tracks: Abel Autopsy - Uunder (2026)

I’ll try to sum up the mental vibe of each; this might be difficult as it’s a tapestry, a story with sound. It might also be hard to explain as I found out somewhat recently, I’m likely a synesthete. Regardless, most have a connection to a real place in my life. I was also very into Greek Mythology as a youth, and that informed some of the shape and feel of the entire series. Ghostride – The feeling of travelling alone in the woods at dusk, but you know you are being watched by a presence. Maybe even surrounded. Will they who watch you do you harm? Are they indifferent? Trickster?

1. Forestfog:

Literally the sound of the afterlife.

2. Thieves:

An idea started by my friend Ritchard Napierkowski. It was slowed, stretched, and skrewed. It fit well as a mentally visual ‘connector’ piece.

3. Unfound:

The presences are now breathing at your neck. They are mocking you. You can hear them in the intro.

4. Gates:

If you took pop and mashed it with slasherwave, this would be the result. Trap beats, chopped and skrewed voices, and supersaw reese basses galore. It’s Hell, but fashionable.

5. Artifact:

Almost a waltz, the trickster presences are calling. This was inspired by Greek

6. Mythology:

Specifically, the water nymphs and Hylas.

7. Uunder:

The feeling of being pulled below. Submerged. Is this the end, or a new beginning? Looking back, it ties thematically.

8. Mycenae:

Legend says Mycenae was founded by the hero Perseus, who tasked the Cyclopes with building its massive "Cyclopean" walls — so large they were believed impossible for humans to move.

9. Nihill:

Closure into the void. There is no escape.
