Decibel mag­a­zine‘s Cosmo Lee (also of metal mp3 blog Invisible Oranges, Stylus, PopMatters, and Pitchfork ) wrote a brief blurb about the Abigail EP on the Throw Me A Frickin’ Bone page of the April ’09 issue. Here, repro­duced in its entirety:

Astoria’s Flaming Tusk wins the odd bird award here. I have no idea what to call this. You Fail Me-era Converge, but sludgier, prog­gier and with black metal rasps? It’s messy, but melodic and strangely com­pelling. You can down­load it for free at the band’s site. Try or die!

TRY OR DIE.
