History

Early history and first album (1999-2003)

Abaddon was formed in Chicago in 1999, initially as a solo project of Nullifer Bones with accompanying live musicians.

Their first musical creation to be released was an untitled demo released in 1999 on Nullifer Bones's birthday, August 2. Later that year, the first full-length EP, Entitled Master, was released in limited print cassette tape form on September 9.[2]

During this period the band toured throughout Illinois & Wisconsin including The Rave / Eagles Club.

Joining of Candy Bones (2004-2009)

In 2004 founder Nullifer Bones moved to Italy where he created the project Spectrum-X with his future wife, musician Candy Bones.

A few tracks created for the Master EP from 1999 were performed live and some were used on a Spectrum-X demo, Dreambook, which was released in 2004.

In 2006 Candy Bones joined the project as bassist. During this period they created mostly atmospherical black metal and classical music with a dark ambient feel.

The musical tracks they created in these years ended up being used on the Spectrum-X albums "Tea Party with Zombies"[3] and "Darkest Night Ever,"[4] which were released by the Japanese record label Darkest Labyrinth.

They were featured in many different magazines including the Gothic Bible to advertise the Japanese Goth subculture accessories company Suppurate System,[5] Kera magazine for heavy metal subculture clothing,[6] German gothic magazine Dark Spy, and Alamode magazine for the Darkest Labyrinth compilation album and festival.[7]

In 2008 they toured in Osaka and Tokyo.[7]

Recommencing exclusive activity (2010-2016)

In 2010 Abaddon returned to creating music exclusively for use under the name Abaddon.

Later in the year, Zack Undead joined the project as second guitarist.[8]

On September 12, 2012, they released "The Bringer of Light" single in a limited print USB flash drive and t-shirt package.[9][10]

Current activity leading up to upcoming album (2017-present)

In 2017 the band announced that they were nearing the release of an unnamed new album.[1][11]
