history

The band was formed in 2007. She then went on tour with Thy Art Is Murder and took part in the Brisbane part of the Summer Slaughter Tour , which also included Necrophagist , The Faceless and Aborted .

After the 2012 album Abnegate , the group broke up the following year.

style

Mitch Booth from metalobsession.net stated that the band on The Beginning are more dedicated to Thrash Metal and Metal in the style of At the Gates , while on Earth Harvest they are now more technically demanding and aggressive. The group, however, avoid sounding too complicated. In addition to temporary parallels to Behemoth , the songs are characterized by blast beats , deep growls and high screams as well as breakdowns . Overall, you combine the groove and breakdowns of modern groups like Whitechapel and Despised Icon with the technical demands of Decapitated , Origin and Cryptopsy . For Alex Lee from megustareviews.com , Abnegate was a mixture of deathcore and death metal , whereby she is aggressive and technically demanding. Especially the singing made up a large part of the brutality for him.
