December 2025 Feature Release - The Infinite Edition

So just like that we find that a new month is upon us which of course means that we’ll be nominating a brand new monthly feature release for each clan. This essentially means that we’re asking you to rate, review & discuss our chosen features for no other reason than because we enjoy the process & banter. We’re really looking forward to hearing your thoughts on our chosen releases so don’t be shy.

This month's feature release for The Infinite, nominated by me (Shadowdoom9 (Andi)), is the 2016 debut album by Swedish progressive melodeath band An Abstract Illusion, Illuminate the Path. Since their formation, An Abstract Illusion has presented a glorious smorgasbord of atmospheric extreme metal in their albums, and their debut has probably the best of it. Let it light the way to the more progressive and deathly fans of metal!

Nice choice. I enjoy everything these guys have released in the past as they're a quality act. In saying that, I need to check out their new album "The Sleeping City" some time soon.
