Walk Beyond the Dark

In support of the album, Abigail Williams embarked on the Path to Victory North American tour with bands Ensiferum, Kalmah, and Aenimus in November and December 2019.

[5][6] Abigail Williams was also announced to be part of the Devastation on the Nation North American tour with bands Rotting Christ, Borknagar, Wolfheart, and Imperial Triumphant in March and April 2020.

Pattilo further noted that the first single, "I Will Depart", is a "stunning testament to the band's legacy, an epic eight-minute journey through blackened terrain from the viseral, gritty black metal intro to the vast icy tundras of its choral interludes."

Andy Synn of No Clean Singing explained in his review, All of these tracks [...] display a level of musicality we perhaps haven’t seen from the band since… possibly ever… much of which must be attributed to the intricate bass work and complex percussive patterns provided by Bryan O’Sullivan (From the Bogs of Aughiska, ex-Altar of Plagues) and Mike Heller (Malignancy, Fear Factory), respectively, with Heller in particular giving what may well be a career-best performance behind the kit.

Sorceron too, perhaps inspired by his chosen collaborators, seems more energised than ever, especially vocally, mingling his acrid, acid-drenched snarls with deft touches of clean-sung melody in order to maximise the cathartic impact of every single song.
