Editor's note

Abbath keeps black metal loud and direct.

The band formed in 2015 after Immortal split, with three albums of no-frills riffing.

For a quick sense of the band, try 'Warriors' or 'Dread Reaver'. They're both pretty straightforward and give you the idea.

Abbath's music sticks to the basics of black metal without much fuss. Songs like 'Warriors' from the 2016 debut landed fast with fans who wanted that raw, driving sound. They've kept it going through lineup shifts and label trouble, which says something about the commitment.

The band started in 2015 with Abbath, drummer Ukri Suvilehto, and bassist Mia Wallace. After Wallace left in 2018, Tom Cato Visnes came in, and they've put out 'Outstrider' in 2019 and 'Dread Reaver' in 2022. The history mentions some legal issues, but they've toured and recorded through it.

Archive material and source history

Abbath formed in 2015 after the disbandment of Immortal, with Olve Eikemo (who goes by Abbath) on vocals and guitar, drummer Ukri Suvilehto, and bassist Mia Wallace. Their self-titled debut album came out the following year, featuring tracks like 'Warriors' that quickly found an audience in the black metal scene.

Mia Wallace left the band in 2018, replaced by bassist Tom Cato Visnes. The group has released three albums: 'Abbath' in 2016, 'Outstrider' in 2019, and 'Dread Reaver' in 2022. Songs such as 'Winterbane' and 'Outstrider' show their straightforward approach to the genre.

The current lineup remains Abbath, Suvilehto, and Visnes. They've faced some legal issues with a former label, but kept recording and touring through it.
