Biography : Abominator

Abominator was formed in December 1994, with Chris Volcano on drums and Andrew Undertaker on Guitar. Even at this early stage Abominator"s music, although very primitive compared to later effort"s, was already standing out as a dark force in the underground - the constant blasts combined with an unrelenting rhythm proved to be the perfect combination of darkness and carnage and thus, Abominator had created their style.

In "94/95, Chris and Andrew finished writing the first six songs for the demo called "Barbarian War Worship" of which three tracks were later re-recorded for the first album. This album, with Chris Volcano on drums and vocals and Andrew on guitars and bass, saw the light of day in May 1995 and captured perfectly the sound Abominator wanted to unleash. The recording appeared later on a split-CD with the Swedish Mornaland. Then Deathsaw Dave and Gary Gestapo arrived on the scene and some show"s were played around Melbourne.
Damon Bloodstorm parted way"s with Bestial Warlust and took up the vokills for Abominator, eventually moving on to bass/vokills for live show"s. New material was being written and in 1997, after Gary left, Abominator re-entered the studio and recorded a second demo, entitled "The Conqueror Possessed". It contained four tracks, also included on the debut CD. Dave left the band soon after this recording and Abominator continued on as a carnage three piece.

Contracts were sent to the band and it was decided to sign with Necropolis Records and Abominator recorded their debut album in October 1998. It contained songs of the first two demos plus some new tracks. The album line-up was Andrew on guitars and bass, Chris Volcano on drums and Damon Bloodstorm and Volcano sharing vokills. More shows were played until the Bloodstorm was to give away the bass. Soon after this, things were put on hold for a while to create a new album. Steve Undernism was recruited on Bass but his reign of terror with the band was short lived fir he left the band just day"s before the recording of the second album, "Subversives For Lucifer". The recording continued on and off until February 2001. On the album Damon Blood Storm returned for a farewell performance. Right in the middle of this recording Necropolis decided that they would no longer support the band and so with a new album finished, Abominator was now looking for a label.

After an extensive mail-out the band received some interest from labels and in April 2001 Abominator signed a three album deal with Osmose Productions
