rguably the pioneers of death metal in Australia, the mighty Abramelin are back from grave after a 14 year hiatus.

Originally formed as Acheron in 1988 by vocalist Simon Dower & then guitarist David Abbott, the band changed their name in in the early 90's due to a clash with an international act of the same name. Tim Aldrige joined the band in 1989 and quickly became the main writer of music for the band, while Dower handled the grotesque lyrics. Abramelin was a powerful, driving force in the 90's, playing alongside a host of well-known Aussie acts from various genres, as well as international metal giants like Morbid Angel, Cradle of Filth, Cannibal Corpse, Carcass & Paradise Lost, just to name a few. Although at the top of their game and in high demand, the band decided to take a break in 2003... one that would last 14 years!

Fast forward to 2017, Abramelin are back and stronger than ever! Dower and Aldridge are still on board with ex-Abramelin guitarist & music contributor Rob "Wog" Mollica (Earth) now picking up the bass; blisteringly fast guitarist Matt Wilcock (Ackercocke), who played with Abramelin on their Deadspeak tour in 2002 / 2003, is back; and last but not least, Australia's #1 metal drummer, David Hayley (Psycroptic) is on board ripping out the blast beats.
Once again in hot demand and already selling out shows weeks in advance, Abramelin have kicked off a national tour that includes brutal classic material as well as brand new songs that will form their forthcoming album.
