Hani Abadi steps out from his comfort zone and into Oblivion with his new single and video — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
The latest preview of his upcoming acoustic project Tiamat, Oblivion is a hauntingly beautiful track that takes you on a journey through themes of loss, reflection, and the search for meaning. The multi-talented musician and composer pours his heart and soul into this evocative piece.
Tiamat is a deeply personal creation. Abadi does not shy away from the tough stuff as he wanders through the emotional heartache of losing family members while miles away, the darkness of disease, and how our lives have collectively changed since the pandemic. Emotion is felt in every track through moving melodies and powerful songwriting. Tiamat is truly an honest creation. The multi-talented composer explains the album has no restraints — it is just music that led the way.
After years of writing, composing, and creating, much of Tiamat was recorded in Abadi’s home studio in the Bay Area. And while it is a solo project, Abadi feels fortunate to have connected with other international musicians, notably drummer Eduardo Sinatra and mixing engineer Tom Maclean, among other talented artists. “Everyone who participated and contributed to this album has been patient with me, and I firmly believe this whole record wouldn’t be possible if it wasn’t for all those incredible souls,” says Abadi.
Tiamat is Abadi’s first solo project since being part of Bilocate, a dark metal band. Originally from what was formerly known as Yugoslavia, Abadi explains he is from a place that labels anyone a satanist for looking different or listening to music that is misunderstood. With Bilocate, he rebelled through music and even risked imprisonment with shows that were eventually shut down by authorities.
