When we posted a live take of “Reprobate” from Serene-Maneesh’s anticipated new album, we didn’t have a name or exact release date for the Norwegian noisemakers’ sophomore collection. Now we do: S-M 2: Abyss In B Minor hits shelves 3/23 in the US. On top of those details, we can also pass along a 6-minute edit of S-M 2‘s noisy kitchen-sink intro “Ayisha Abyss” (and the collection’s 8-song tracklist). We’re told the entire record’s 38 minutes and 45 seconds, so curious to know how much longer “Ayisha Abyss” builds before we collide with “I Just Want To See Your Face.”
The tracklist:
01 “Ayisha Abyss”
02 “I Just Want To See Your Face”
03 “Reprobate!”
04 “Melody For Jaana”
05 “Blow Yr Brains In The Mourning Rain”
06 “Honeyjinx”
07 “D.I.W.S.W.T.T.D.”
08 “Magdalena (Symphony #8)”
S-M 2: Abyss In B Minor is out 3/22 overseas and 3/23 in the US via 4AD. They’re on the road before that. Expect additional shows to be announced around the New Year.

I’m liking what I’ve heard off this album more than the self-titled album. Barring the unexpected, this should be a great record.
Borefest.
They were on fire at Bylarm and I imagine the album is going to be very very good. Have seen a few comments on them being a hit and miss live they were tight as a rats ass on Friday! heheh
