R.I.P. ABYSS 2010-2018

We officially disbanded early 2018. Sorry it took so long to post.

Check out Dave's new band: Bleeding Out

There maybe related projects in the future, we shall see.

Thanks to all who deserve it.

Extreme Noise Terror June 27th at Coalition

Abyss joins Napalm Raid and others in support of the pioneering crust band ENT at Colalition in Toronto on Tuesday June 27th.  Chuffed, pass me the PCP.

Abyss live at Eyesore Cinema 2012

I'm just sharing this old video post of Abyss playing at a local

video store on a cold January eve during 2012. The song featured is the

old and moldy "Splatterhouse" and this I believe was the first gig to

feature Max on drums, who is now in Tomb Mold.

I'm  mainly sharing for personal reasons however, as I realize the video

features my older brother who passed away last November 2016.

Re-watching the video now, makes me laugh. He is the guy up front

looking out of place (Death metal and heavy gigs were not necessarily

his thing), and he's clearly not sure how to react, yet he's still

having a laugh and a good time...Rest in peace, brother, I'm glad you

entered the Spatterhouse!

Are Abyss still a band?

Yes, we're here - but most of us no longer participate in the facebooks any longer.

 

Social media: insta - add @smitty_mittenz for contact or the email provided on this blog.  I try to respond within a day or two.

Spending this winter of 2017 writing, and not likely playing any gigs.

But who knows.



-Edit, I'm going to update this site as well, clammy 2 year old banner is clammy.

Update May 28

Abyss had to cancel a couple of shows in July due to schedule conflicts, but there will be at least one gig for august happening, potentially two.

News

     Hey. Some news: Abyss has been on a bit of a hiatus for various reasons over the last few months. One of those reasons is the departure of Max from the band in September 2015. At any rate, the skins position has been filled, and we've been rehearsing and writing with the intention of releasing a new LP.  We also have a gig booked in March at Faith/Void in Toronto, which will be announced soon.
