Biography
Abhoth's creation was started in 2006 by Srđan Mi?ović, as a result of his fascination with writings of H.P.Lovecraft and his love for obscure and atmospheric metal sound. That's when he wrote first couple of unfinished song and introduced them to Branko Jugović and Milo? Klikovac, who have taken the roles as a bass player and guitarist, while Srđan was about to take the role of band's vocalist. Drums were to be programmed. And that's when the project got its initial line-up.
