abhorred (Chelmsford/Lowell, Ma)... well... what can you say, their self proclaimed bio
"We play extreme metal. Thank you, and fuck you."

For a little while, I had heard the name, but handn't yet seen them until feb 2004 at the all asia.

Immediately, I was impressed by them. A metal band with vocals that you could actually understand?
sounds good to me. by the first time seeing them, I already knew some of the lyrics.


and 3 songs, 1 minute? brillant!

since then, I've seen them like 12 times.

their story starts in Aug/sept 2003. the Johns (vocal and drums) and Ben (guitar) started to jam out.


then a month or so later, they added Eric (guitar) the male model.


Previous to Abhorred, Eric (guitar) and John (drummer) had a band together that "went nowhere for about a year prior to abhorred" which broke up about a month before the beginnings of Aborred.



when they began, they "started out as basically strictly old school grind (repulsion, old napalm, terrorizer, etc...) then we tried to blend old school metal with newer stuff out there". I definitly notice the napalm death influences. but I also see a flavor of Patera's cowboy cd. Their newest song works in solient green/bongzilla style stoner riffs. when they bust them out, John (vocals) ends up on the ground, slowly screaming is vocal raw as the music slows down. This band is completely evolving. each show they played is claimed by someone as their "best" show yet.

Currently, they are working on their new cd.
What is it missing?
the bass tracks... buuuuut.. what hasn't been mentioned above?
that's right a bassplayer. in steps the head banging, bass playing, "hahrt"-having savior to bands, Josh (ascendancy). he will be pulling the double duties with Ascendancy, playing bass with Abhorred.


In Spring 2003, Abhorred signed to Not Common records.
their full length will be on in early 2005.
There is a listening party for their new cd Jan 14th at the Armageddon Shop in Providence Ri.

Abhorred @ the last chopping block show

Oh, and the cd listening party is the 28th of January now, not the 14th...

cheers!!!

i wanna go to the show friday, hopefully i can make it, im lookin forward to it

SING IT DEKOTA!

Dekota is a peculiar one....showing up incognito at an Abhorred show.....sly devil.

Where are these guys from??

Abhorred is from Lowell, Dekota is from Waltham

I'd like to play shows with 'em. We're from Schenectady, NY. I live in Shittsfield, MA, though.

You should, they are a great band to watch live.

Anyone know if anyone from that band chats on this board?

Yeah, they all do, particularly Benjamin, his screen name is Assuck

Cool, thanks. I'll have to send him a message.

assuck, pessimist, and abhorred

If you get them to NY and/or Pittsfield, then I can help you get into Boston. Do you have AIM? I use to have a friend in Pittsfield and I want to see if you know her.

Awesome. I don't have AIM, but if you want my email I'll give it to ya.

yeah, what is your email?

Also, just so you know, Abhorred is not playing any shows until march

www.spectorcd@nycap.rr.com. We've got other contact information on our website, too.

Cool. We can definately set somethin' up in March.

We can set up shows at this place called The New Age Cabaret, in Albany, or Saratoga Winners in Lathem. Its hard to get people to come out to shows at Winners, the owners don't promote for shit, and its kinda way out there...

I don't think they would want to play this Winners place then haha, specific dates you would need to run by the band though.

Sure. How far in advance would they need a date? say....a month?

I'm the dude that plays bass.
Saratoga Winners is fucking awesome! That was the best club I've seen in Albany.

Its a nice club...but it's hard to draw at that place. We'd have better luck at drawing more people at the New Age Cabaret in Albany, better location, better promotion.

what about the Hudson Duster? Don't they do all ages shows there?

I don't know if its ALL ages, maybe 16+. It may be hard to get in there for now, they're usually booked up a month or two in advance. That place is really booming right now for shows.

Whatever's clever bro. I fucking love Albany. A bunch of us are heading out to Sick Shit Fest. I'm trying to organize people for Cryptopsy trips to Cohoes and Poughkispie.

Sweet. One of the Guys who put the shitfest together said we were in...if anyone cancells.

valentines seemed cool to me

Valentines is cool. I've never played there, though. Ever hear of Northern Lights?? Thats a nice place, too.

Blood-Obsessed said:

I usually book shows in Boston 2-3 months in advance.

Keep us in mind. 2-3 months in advance is enough for us.

I love all three of those clubs. Great sound too. Northern Lights and Winners is so big it's easy to be empty though.

yeah, northern lights was cool... but empty.

I think Saratoga Winners and Northern Lights are cool when they're packed, otherwise it usually can be pretty depressing. I say get the New Age for this type of show, they are a lot easier to work with in these situations as opposed to Winners, Northern Lights, Valentine's etc. Valentine's is super expensive to rent out too.

whatever's clever, Albany is an easy drive.

yo josh you guys should stay up at ernie's place for sickshit fest, i think screaming afterbirth and a bunch of other out-of-towners coming to the show are staying there for the night. plus that night is my birthday so lots of beer will be consumed.

nice bro! Al was saying we're gonna stay there. I think Robdeadskin is comming too! Abhorred should join me in partaking in the real NY scene instead of this Long Island shit!

i'll talk to you about that at practice josh

WOO!

i saw these guys play with kubrick and kevorkians angels at all asia and they tore that place up...did a nasty cover of war ensemble too. vocals blend perfectly with the guitars and drumming is incredible. haven't seen them with the bass player yet, but i'm sure it adds to the mix perfectly...rock on

i was at that all asia also, it was my first time seeing abhorred

I'm siked for the CD you guys. Jizz on a special copy just for me, heh

10 steps ahead of you

bloodmask completely stole that all asia show, though

hahahaha! *splortch!*

assuck said:

haha no shit, i wonder who that band was? i think brian from gut made them up

i think they had their own sound going, its too bad they are non existent

more appreciation threads!

SUCK

Eric just gave me yet another copy of Wallowing In Utter Chaos along with the unreleased CD last night. I forgot how this was the greatest thrash band Boston's ever known.

I want Wallowing In Utter Chaos on vinyl.
