Abaddon Incarnate

Abaddon Incarnate are an Irish deathgrind band.

History

Abaddon Incarnate was formed in Dublin in 1994, playing fast death metal with grindcore elements. Under the name Bereaved the band released two demo cassette tapes, ''Signs of Death'' in 1992 and ''Tortured Souls'' in 1994. The decision was made to change their name to Abaddon Incarnate on the release of their third demo, ''When the Demons Come''. Since then the band has released two more promos (in 1996 and 2001) and five full-length album releases, namely ''The Last Supper'' in 1999, ''Nadir'' in 2001, ''Dark Crusade'' in 2003 and ''Cascade'' in 2009, ''Pessimist'' in 2014. Additionally a split 7-inch with U.S. grind band "Phobia" was released in 2011.

The band has toured extensively in Europe including Spain, France, Britain, Switzerland, Germany. In South America they were the first extreme Irish metal band to play in Ecuador, Colombia and Peru. Also they have toured in Russia and Australia.

Abaddon Incarnate are currently signed to Transcending Obscurity Records (UK) but have previously been signed to the Slovakian label Metalage Productions French label Season of Mist, to the Irish label Sentinel Records, and to the Spanish label Xtreem Music.

Original drummer Olan Parkinson rejoined in 2019 after filling in for some Irish dates and now Under Transcending Obscurity the band will release their sixth album ''The Wretched Sermon'' in early 2022. In June 2022, the band revaled that the album would be released on August 5.
