History/Biography

ABHORRANCE is a speedy thrash metal band, based out of Santa Cruz, California. Progressing from a concrete foundation of the heavy energy of hardcore, the speed of skate-punk, and technical shredding guitarwork of metal; empowered with high-energy and deep aesthetic feeling. The band has evolved much over the years, especially having been through so many line-up changes. The songs are slightly progressive, and contain elements that are ultra-fast in most parts, have lots of palm muted double picking, pauses, metal riffs, flaming solos and aggressive energy. Vocals range from melodic to intense, dominating, blood-curdling screaming. Most lyrics are more internal in context and have deep meaning, playing as a positive release ranging from total fucking hatred, emotional violence, angst, anger, depression, to preserverence, strength, growth, integrity, the scene, xenophobia, egocentrism, and just being fed-up with being shit on, and fucking pissed about the state of things today, and will be reaching out to new levels through evolution. We have been together since 1994 and have changed and grown musically, lyricly, and emotionally. A majority of our founding influence came from our predecessing bands from Santa Cruz that we all grew up on. Keeping the thrash alive!
