MMIX

We have shows coming up in April, May, June, and July, in Kentucky, Maryland, and our hometown.

We have a recent recording titled Acrid Life to sell you on cassette or in ones and zeros.

We are making new shirts with our updated logo and a new design.

We are also waiting, like you, for our split 7" with the mighty Ruin to be released.

See?  We have been doin' stuff.  Though sometimes we do get a bit chatty at the practice space.

T-Shirts (No, not for sale.)

Did you know that Tim has worn the exact same T-shirt for almost every Abysme show?  He wants to eliminate variables and have it feel the same whilst he's playing drums.  It's plain and black, just like his either boring or neurotic soul.

Also, Mike and Brad sure do wear a lot of pro wrestling-related T-shirts now.

Ramones show

So even though ol' Timmy Tendinitis had to take a time out from tapping on the drums, surely he can play 4 Ramones songs at a Ramones tribute show, right?  RIGHT.  Check out this show and also know that we're back in action...

Important band fact: Did you know that 2/3 of Abysme says "jean jacket" while 1/3 of Abysme says "jeans jacket"?

Wild Nights

Man, if you thought seeing Abysme on a Wednesday night was a raging party, can you imagine how much we rock on a Tuesday night in Pittsburgh? 

Tuesday, August 26, 2014 -- 7:30 p.m.

WASTELANDER (they're from Lansing, MI)
ABYSME (we're not from Lansing, MI)
MOWER (Pittsburgh)

at

The Shop, 4314 Main St., Pittsburgh, PA 15224

Show must be done by 11:00 p.m. so you can see some ripping good bands and still get to bed in time for work or school the next day.  Wild nights indeed.

Reactivated Abysme

Due to a terminal illness in the family, we had to not accept show offers and cancel others.  Sorry about that.  But for as misanthropic as many of you metal maniacs are, you have also been supportive and surprisingly family oriented.  Thanks!

Glad to announce that we're back, we're practicing (and having fun, conversations about stupid, silly shit at the practice space, of course), and we're ready to play shows again.

For instance, we're playing at The Shop in Pittsburgh's Bloomfield neighborhood on Wednesday, July 16, 2014, with Purge, Hexer and Mutilation Rites.  C'mon out and contact us for more shows.

We are long overdue for an update! Lots happening with us lately...

To kick things off, our first ever shows in Brooklyn, NY, and Chicago were fantastic! Great turnouts and good fun with our pals in both cities! We hope to make it back for more devastation in the future!

We have copies of STRANGE RITES on compact disc for those who want to buy directly from the band! Soon we'll have ordering info available, but for those who can't wait another minute, please visit Hellthrasher Productions or your favorite distro to pick up a copy! At the moment, they are available in the US at Planet Metal and Hell's Headbangers!

Some other merchandise we have are t-shirts with the logo and album artwork on the front, as well as logo patches. Send us a message if you'd like to get any of those items. We are almost out of shirts, but will hopefully have more soon.

STRANGE RITES has been getting a lot of reviews, both good and not-so-great, and we appreciate all the metal freaks taking time to listen and check it out! If you've done a review, definitely let us know. Until next time, check out this video from our show in Chicago...

CHEERS!!
