-Abazagorath-

The misanthropic entity of ABAZAGORATH was created in June 1995 with the intention of spreading the plague of Black Metal to contaminate the world. ABAZAGORATH represents man's Darker nature and the praise of all that is Unholy.

Musically, ABAZAGORATH blends the forces of Black / Death Metal with a strong sense of musicality and epic song structure to create the ultimate expression of death.

ABAZAGORATH's hymns pay homage to the Eternal Power and Splendor of the Dark Forces....

January 1996 saw the release of their debut, the "Channelling the Ethereal Moons" MCD in an edition of 500 copies. This release presented the raw, harsh sound of early ABAZAGORATH. In the very same month, the band recorded the 2 song "Winter 96 Promo." During the summer of 1996, ABAZAGORATH recorded the 4 song "Summer 1996 Promo" and also signed a recording contract with Elegy Records. The resulting full length CD "Tenebrarum Cadent Exsurgemus" was unleashed in March 1997. A cover version of the MAYHEM classic "Funeral Fog" was recorded in April / May 2000 for use on a USBM tribute to MAYHEM that was never released. Seven songs were recorded in Spring 2001 for two releases: "The Spirit of Hate for Mankind" 7" EP which came out on Blood Fire Death Records in July 2002, and the "Enshrined Blasphemer" MCD which was originally supposed to come out as part of a split LP that never materialized, has just been unleashed on Agonia Records. An LP version including new artwork and bonus materials will be out on Agonia in the near future.

Over the years, ABAZAGORATH has performed numerous live rituals with many well known and respected Metal acts, including: DEICIDE, MARDUK, ENSLAVED, IMPALED NAZARENE, DESTROYER 666, ENTHRONED, CRYPTOPSY, USURPER, DIABOLIC, VITAL REMAINS, ANCIENT, SUFFOCATION, INCANTATION, MACABRE, ELECTRIC WIZARD, CADAVER INC., GORGUTS, COFFIN TEXTS, MORTICIAN, PROFANATICA, DEMONCY, NUN SLAUGHTER, SADISTIC INTENT, HELL-BORN, ANTAEUS, BLACK WITCHERY, GRAND BELIAL'S KEY, BLOOD STORM, GOREAPHOBIA, PERVERSERAPH, LUCIFER'S HAMMER, EVOKEN, DISCIPLES OF MOCKERY, SUMMON, BLACK MASS, KRIEG, , FOG, ENGORGE, BLOOD THRONE, HEMLOCK, THE DYING LIGHT, DETERIOROT, CEREMONIUM, MALIGNANCY, FOREST OF IMPALED, NOCTUARY, IBEX THRONE, BAHIMIRON, and many more....
