Bio

After 1997’s Album “Cast in Stone” the mighty Abaddon left Venom and decides it’s time to give priority to his own projects, as the owner of his own recording studio and also a manager of many metal bands he felt his energies needed giving to these projects.

Throughout his career, he never abandoned continuous composing. The first marks are shown in “Holy Man”, a song that only exists in the “In The Name Of Satan” compilation, released in 1994, a period that Venom did not exist either.

He founded the band ‘Abaddon” and in 2000 he releases his first solo album, entitled “I’m Legion”. The sound is totally different than what we used to listen by Venom. Raw metal with shreds of industrial elements! The album sold very well and in 2004 there was another release under the project name Kaos. The CD title was “In Sanity”, and it was an extremely rare 3 track CD. Then comes another project under the name “Beneath”, which saw the release of a video for the song “Fall Away” in 2010, followed by some English gigs.

“Abaddon” is back, with new members and new inspiration.

2016 sees the release of the EP “The Flowers of Evil” Featuring Roddy B on Vocals, Steve Hoggart on bass and Vocals, Paul Tattersall on Guitar and David “Bucket” Turner on Guitars. The EP is available for digital download from all stores.

Following the sad death of “Roddy B” the band slimed down to a 3 piece, Paul Tattersall focusing his energies with two punk stalwarts No Way and The Amazing Spacefrogs.

2018 sees the band’s first gig as a three-piece, featuring Steve “Hogman” on Vocals and Bass Guitar and David “Bucket” Turner on Guitar and Backing vocals, they appeared at Mearfest North:

Moving onto 2020 saw a change in the Abaddon line up with Bucket leaving the band to be replaced by former Blitzkrieg guitarist Ken Johnson. The band completed and Digipack CD EP “All That Remains” released on Nil BY Mouth Records available from the band and Nil By Mouth Records featuring a rework of a few old songs.

When civilisation emerged from the other side of the Covid Pandemic Ken stood down from his guitar duties and the band welcomed back Bucket into the fold. After gigging the far ends of the UK from Scotland to Wales and England, the band were always asked by promotors and fans alike to do more old school Venom music, The band are obliging with a new slant “Fucking Abaddon’s Venom” garnering great feedback from recent gigs, the band are currently working on “A Tribute to Venom two” the band have a back catalogue of original material that is not going away anywhere soon… Watch this space.
