"Abriosis" is a Progressive Death Metal band hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia. The band was formed by Taylor Lipton in 2007 to pursue live performance of demos he had recorded on the side of playing with numerous metal acts. Chris Mathis was the second member to join,followed by Dan Maidana to help record a self-titled ,self funded professional e.p. with Jason Martin at Omega Media Studios in Richmond,British Columbia. The main goal of the e.p. was to intice potential drummers,and have a physical product to sell alongside the rest of their self funded merchandise including T-Shirts,stickers,CD's Cassette Tapes.
Shortly after recording the e.p. Robin Iwasiw joined "Abriosis" on drums. After playing only one local show they ventured on their first west coast (British Columbia/Alberta) tour. Followed in 2009 by their first Cross Canada (British Columbia/Nova Scotia) tour. Both were organized and paid for by Abriosis.
In late 2009 Abriosis parted ways with vocalist Chris Mathis and bass player Dan Maidana, but soon adopted new vocalist Kris McDermott and Ryan McDonnell on bass. In summer 2010 ,Abriosis executed another west coast(British Columbia/Alberta) tour before going back into the studio with Jason Martin of Omega Studios, to begin work on their new full-length album "Tattered And Bound".

Shortly after a music video was filmed and produced by James Jardine of the "Art Institute Vancouver" for the song "As The Shepherd Spites". As with everything else with Abriosis, the album and music video were completely self funded while working full-time day jobs and shift work, in anticipation of promoting and giving copies away for free as promotion on their next up coming Cross Canada(British Columbia/Nova Scotia) tour.
