We’re pleased to bring you the premiere of Abraham video for new single “Silent At Last”, a track taken from the band’s new album, Look, Here Comes The Dark! (produced by Magnus Lindberg from Cult of Luna) and due to be released on May 11 via Pelagic Records.
Watch below Abraham’s striking new video for “Silent At Last”, directed by Augustin Rebetez.
The band said about the new video: “So we wrote a record that eventually became a double-album. Yes, that’s almost two full hours of music. From now on you will be able to chose between two evening activities: watching a movie or listening to our record. Please do the latter.

Augustin’s haunting video captured this perfectly.
At some point, this song’s working title was the « Beneficient Clearing ». Turned out to be rather a malevolent one…”
Look, Here Comes The Dark! arrives on May 11th via Pelagic, pre-order available here.
