The first of the ongoing new Abysm series to crawl forth of 2024, Volume I: F-K is bigger, thicker, and more demented than the preceding issue, with over eighty pages of writing and art. As with each issue of this series, this half-size (8.5" x 5.5") zine-style book is published in a limited-edition of one hundred copies, each one hand-assembled and hand-numbered. And again, Volume I: F-K boasts suitably monstrous and chaotic original artwork from collaborator KHVLTVS, whose imagery is spread across both the inner and outer cover of this slab of printed filth.

"The Incomplete Crucial Blast Guide To Black Noise, Necro-Industrial, And Ambient Filth" moves on alphabetically to bands and artists F through K, and continues to present a curated collection of writing, review, and short essay material from in-house Crucial Blast scribe Adam Allbright, with writing that spans 1999 through 2024, pulling from the depths of the Crucial Blast archives, far-flung and forgotten corners of the 2000's-era internet, and never-before-published hallucinations, this beast is boiling over with an in-depth documentation of the noisiest, weirdest, and most wrecked music and sound that has been emerging from the fringes of the black metal and death industrial scenes over the past many decades. This gets into the gnarliest blackened mutations and ear-scorching weirdness from the edges of the underground, here focusing on selected releases and material from the likes of Kerovnian, Gnaw Their Tongues, Kaniba, Funerary Call, Runhild Gammelsaeter, Fire In The Head, Goatpsalm, Haare, Gate To Void, Husere Grav, and ever more denizens of the sub-necro subterrain. Again, the writing ranges from album reviews to background history to sprawls of near prose-poetry delirium and stream-of-consciousness text splatter, spilling off these pages like distant ravings from a crumbling oubliette (not too far from reality if you've ever seen the office over here, really).

As with subsequent editions in the series, Abysm I: F-K is additionally charred with weird devil-worshipping artwork, bizarre visual poetry experiments, blasts of pseudo-Gnostic blasphemy, and messed-up collage art alongside the flood of writing. And likewise, each installment of Abysm features new and original artwork from Crucial Blast favorite KHVLTVS, whose crazed imagery graces both the inside and outside covers of each issue. Housed inside of a resealable mylar sleeve with an outer descriptive label.
