Metal web­site Chronicles Of Chaos has posted a review of Flaming Tusk’s Abigail EP in their Demos section.

CoC is a well-respected webzine ven­er­ated within the metal scene for its forward-looking crit­i­cism. Since 1995 they’ve bro­ken metal acts like Dimmu Borgir and Strapping Young Lad into inter­net con­scious­ness, and the site con­tin­ues lis­ten­ing to and review­ing demos by up and com­ing bands.

Staff writer Paul Williams, who has also cri­tiqued Dragonforce‘s Ultra Beatdown and Nervecell‘s Human Chaos for the site, rated Abigail a 3.5 out of 5 and had, gen­er­ally, quite pos­i­tive things to say about the record:

The debut EP _Ab[i]gail_ from NYC metal-heads Flaming Tusk seems to be a solid piece of music, incor­po­rat­ing, with ease, musi­cal styles from a wide range of metal gen­res, from dashes of hard­core through to some gloomy doom. A par­tic­u­lar stand out track is the closer song “26 Legions”, a great show of all the influ­ences the band have, in a sin­gle song, and just over nine min­utes. All three of the other songs show some qual­ity heavy metal. With great but not over­done pro­duc­tion, the band deliv­ers some catchy riffs…
