Afgrund is a grindcore band started in 2006 in Sweden, based in Italy since 2013. Italian guitarist Enrico Marchiori (formerly bassplayer of the band) is the only constant member since the band's inception.
In 2006, the band recorded a 5 track demo CD called 'Hjärtslag och Djupa Andetag' (Heartbeats and Deep Breaths) and started touring around in Europe. In the spring of 2007 the band released their debut album 'Svarta Dagar' (Black Days) and a split CD with Relevant Few.

The band went for the "Grind Galore" European tour with Squash Bowels. In the spring of 2008 they re-released Svarta Dagar with the American label Emetic Records. An American tour with Phobia, Hellnation and Skarp took place in May of 2008. In the summer, they performed at a few festivals around the world; in September, the "Black Days" UK tour with Ablach.
