Abyssery – Interminable End

A devastating debut from the Dublin underground

Every once in a while, a release cuts through the noise with such clarity and intensity that you can’t look away. Interminable End, the debut full-length from Irish solo project Abyssery, is one of those records. No hype. No major label. No compromises. Just a relentless, focused, and surprisingly mature statement of intent.

Abyssery is the child of Brian Doherty, a musician based in Dublin who wrote, recorded, and produced the album himself. It's a fully independent effort—DIY in the truest sense—but it doesn’t sound like a lo-fi bedroom experiment. Quite the opposite: Interminable End is razor-sharp, violent, atmospheric, and utterly immersive.

With James Stewart on drums and a guest appearance from Rafał “Rasta” Piotrowski , the album gains even more weight. But make no mistake,this is Doherty’s vision from start to finish.

From the opening seconds, Interminable End throws you into a world of instability and dread. This is not background music. It’s a conceptual, narrative-driven experience built around existential suffering, loss of control, and metaphysical imprisonment. Even death, here, is not an escape,it’s just another form of torture.

The album unfolds like a descent. There’s a constant sense of motion, but it’s disorienting and grim. You’re dragged deeper into the abyss with each track, and by the end, there’s no light left to cling to. It’s intense as hell,not just sonically, but emotionally. And that’s exactly what makes it so compelling.

Interminable End is rooted in death metal, but that’s only the skeleton. Around it, Doherty weaves doom-laden atmosphere, blackened dissonance, and progressive structure. The result is dense, aggressive, but never cluttered. There’s precision in the chaos.

What stands out immediately is the clarity of the production. For such an extreme album, the mix is remarkably tight. Guitars cut cleanly through the wall of sound, vocals are raw but intelligible, and the drums , delivered with terrifying accuracy ,push the songs forward like a collapsing tidal wave.

It’s this combination of brutality and definition that makes the record so listenable. You’re never lost in the murk. Even the most chaotic moments have direction and purpose.

The fact that this is a one-man operation (aside from guest contributions) is nothing short of remarkable. There’s no filler, no hesitation. Everything feels deliberate—from the transitions between tracks to the pacing of the album as a whole. It’s rare to hear a debut with this kind of control.

More importantly, it feels honest. There’s no posturing here, no trying to imitate trends. This is one person’s fully realized vision, and it hits hard because of that. You can tell every second of this record has been sweated over, and it deserves every bit of recognition it can get.

Interminable End is one of the strongest DIY metal debuts in recent memory. It’s bleak, punishing, atmospheric, and composed with serious intent. Whether you’re into concept albums, underground extremity, or just music that sounds like it means something,this one’s worth your time.

Follow Abyssery. Buy the album. Share it with friends. Support this kind of artistry wherever you can. This is a project that needs to grow, and Interminable End proves it has every reason to.

And yeah—I’ll be first in line when the shirts drop.
