American black metal outfit ABIGAIL WILLIAMS is putting the finishing touches on its new album, "Becoming", for a January 24, 2012 release via Candlelight Records. The CD was recorded in various warehouses throughout Los Angeles with frontman Ken Sorceron handling the mixing, mastering, production and engineering duties for the entire album. The final track listing, album art and more will be unleashed in the weeks ahead as the record nears release.

Following a warm-up headlining gig in Trenton, New Jersey, ABIGAIL WILLIAMS will be providing support for Norway's black metal legends MAYHEM as their massive thirty-six date North American tour gets underway this Wednesday in Baltimore. HATE and KEEP OF KALESSIN will both provide support for the entire trek as well, and ABIGAIL WILLIAMS' labelmates WOE will also perform in eight cities of the tour.

Following the tour with MAYHEM, ABIGAIL WILLIAMS will continue touring through the New Year in support of "Becoming", with full stateside tours supporting DARK FUNERAL and then DEICIDE already confirmed for the first quarter of 2012, and much more in the planning stages for the months ahead.
