    Artist History
    Few friends had several speed/thrash metal bands and after getting into Death Metal and Grindcore,decided to start a band of their own.Guitarist, Tomi was in Violent Solution and other guitarist, Kalle along with Jukka on Vocals and Bassist Jussi had a band called Disaster, while (first) Drummer Kimmo had just bought drums (which is clearly audible on the demo songs).Second Drummer Arkki was on 'leave' from Antidote.The band was formed in 1989 and after one demo tape got a suggestion to do a 7" EP (which we did), a short visit to Norway (one gig and a party/sleepover at Black Metal band Mayhem's house) with our secondDrummer Mika, the band broke up in 1990, after which Relapse Rocords contacted us. Timing, eh?The 7" EP was released by this rip-off label Seraphic Decay Records. Whithout a contract of anykind we lost all of the (possible) money and Steve O'Bannon took it all. Same happened to Xysma, Derketa and Incatation as far as i know.Members today: Juice is in a Psych/Stoner band Spiha playing guitar, Tomi is in Amorphis playingguitar and occasionally sings, Arkki was in Antidote(R.I.P.) for 10 years, Kalle doesn't play anymore, Kimmo is who knows where and i, Jukka do stuff for Suomi Finland Perkele Metal Magazine among other things.

    Press Reviews
    We got some good reviews on underground 'zines and worrying (about loss of voice and so forth) notes on local band contests. Abhorrence was a 'Cult' Death Metal band for a long time, or thats what i've heard :) Check out http://www.sfperkele.net/stuff/abho.html for the cover scans of the releases.
