“CORRIDORÉ filters the heft and atmosphere of post-metal through the cathartic fury and gossamer sheen of blackgaze…” – Everything Is Noise
Everything Is Noise is currently streaming Abandon, the latest full-length from Madison, Wisconsin-based atmospheric post-black metal conjurors CORRIDORÉ. The premiere comes in advance of the record’s official unveiling on August 22nd via Hypaethral Records.
A harrowing and emotionally resonant follow-up to their self-released 2019 debut, Abandon delves deep into themes of isolation, grief, and the fragile resilience of the human spirit. With five sprawling tracks that balance beauty and brutality, Abandon captures the existential tension of life in a collapsing world refusing to look away but still grasping for something beyond despair.
Writes Everything Is Noise, “CORRIDORÉ have unleashed something special on Abandon, an emotive post-blackgaze adventure that for all of its heaviness, is able to float in the liminal spaces between despair and resilience manifested through righteous brutality and the cleansing power of the crescendo. Hypaethral have done it again, delivering us another gripping, must-hear record.”

Abandon is a sonically expansive record that traverses everything from atmospheric post-rock passages to crushing walls of distortion. At the heart of the record is a meditation on what it means to let go not only of despair, but of the structures, systems, and personal narratives that perpetuate it.
Abandon was recorded and mixed by Dustin Sisson at Blast House Studios (Ossuary, Bereft) with additional recording by guitarist/vocalist Russell Emerson Hall, mastered by Carl Saff (Saetia, KEN Mode, Zozobra), and features artwork by Sick of Realism. The record will be released on CD (ltd. 300), LP (ltd. 100 Graphite vinyl), and digital formats, as well as cassette via JEMS label.

Forged in 2016, CORRIDORÉ crafts a sound rooted in the weight and atmosphere of post-metal, filtered through the blistering aggression of black metal and the introspective haze of shoegaze. Drawing comparisons to genre-defying acts like Deafheaven, Falls Of Rauros, Nothing, and Inter Arma, the band uses contrast and dynamic tension to powerful effect moving seamlessly between explosive blast beats, towering tremolo riffs, and moments of stark, melodic stillness.
“Ironically, I had fun listening to Abandon. It kept me emotionally engaged without drowning me in despair. Still, if you’re looking to plunge into an abyss of fear and loneliness, this album has your back too.” – Metal Eclipse Reviews
“Post-metal fans will dig the album for it’s beautiful orchestration of soundscapes and slow, doom-heavy intensity that makes the genre such an audio journey to enjoy. Check out if you are a fan of acts like Cult of Luna, The Ocean Collective and An Autumn For Crippled Children.” – Frozen Moon Promotions
