Melbourne, Australia (1988 – 2001)

Abramelin is one of Australia’s most legendary death metal bands, despite enduring long bouts of inactivity since the mid-90s. The band was formed under the name Acheron in Melbourne, Australia in 1988 by guitarist David Abbott, with a line-up completed by Dower, Jason Black (guitar), Michael Colton (drums) and bass player Derek. Aldridge replaced Black in time for the recording of the “Eternal Suffering” demo. Justin Wornes (bass) and Jason Dutton (drums) joined shortly afterward.

Acheron released a 7” EP called “Deprived of Afterlife” on French label Corpsegrinder in 1991. Dutton was released from duties and was replaced by Craig Bailey on drums. Abbott was shortly replaced by Jason Kells (Disembowlment) for a short time. Kells left and was replaced by Necrotomy bassist Mark “Shulby” Schuliga on rhythn Guitars. In 1994 shortly after their carcass support, Bailey left and was replaced by Heriot. Acheron changed its name to Abramelin to avoid further confusion with the US black metal band, taking inspiration from the name of a 14th Century magician and alchemist. The first release under the new name was a badly-produced EP, issued on Dark Oceans. Schulby left the band after this and Abramelin recorded their full-length debut as a four piece.

Abramelin was released by Shock’s metal label Thrust in 1995 and was almost immediately banned in Western Australia and then some other markets due to the graphic nature of Dower’s lyrics. Earth drummer Rob Mollica joined the band as second guitarist at this point.
