In their own words, Abyss, founded in 2005, evolves in a universe of Death Metal tinged with Thrash and Progressive Metal. Based on the aquatic universe, the band tries to explore the mysteries of the ocean through music. Through the times, the ocean has been the cradle of myths, legends, fascinations and fears. Still today, the depths of the underwater remain the only unexplored parts of the world sheltering a fauna and a flora both strange and unique.
