Abhorrance is a
metalcore band, from
Santa Cruz,
California currently signed to
Unfun Records.
Biography
Progressing from a concrete foundation of the
heavy energy of
hardcore, the speed of
skate punk, and technical
shredding guitarwork of
metal, the
band has evolved much over the years,
especially after having been through many line-up changes. The
songs are slightly progressive, and contain fast, palm-muted
elements, pauses, metal solos, and aggressive energy. Vocals range
from melodic to intense, dominating screaming. Most lyrics are more
internal in context, playing as a positive release ranging from
total hatred, emotional violence, angst, anger, depression, to
preserverence, strength, growth, integrity, the scene, xenophobia,
egocentrism, and just being fed-up with society, and concern about
the state of the world today.
The band has been together since
1994 and has changed and grown
musically, lyricly, and emotionally. A majority of its founding
influence came from predecessing bands from Santa Cruz that they
all grew up on.
