ABRAMIS BRAMA Stockholm Christian Andersen: v/h, Per-Olof Andersson: g, Dennis Berg: b, Fredrik Jansson: d
Outstanding heavy, riff-oriented 70’s hard rock, very similar to NOVEMBER in their heavier moments with an up-dated 70’s sound. The band started out with lyrics only in Swedish, but the third release is for the English speaking listeners. In 1999 the band unleashed their first 6-track demo Ogräsblues, which is a killer-CDR well worth looking for. The band does a Swedish version of Mesmerization Eclipse on the CAPTAIN BEYOND tribute Thousand Days Of Yesterdays (’99 Record Heaven), called Förtrollande Förmörkelse. From the songs on the self-released 6-track promo Rökt, Smakar Söndag and Gravsten are not found on the album. After the first album singer Christian Andersen was replaced by Ulf, who was ex. SUNFLOWER. A cover of NOVEMBER’s Men Mitt Hjärta Ska Vara Gjort Av Sten can also be found on another demo-CDR.

The band’s first releases were two demos in 1990, entitled Abruptum and The Satanist Tunes. The titles of the two songs on the début single are as impressive as the songs are strange. The first album contains two long (total over fifty minutes) experiments in deathgrowls, drumrhythms and meant-to-be frightening noises. In Umbra... is the same, only it’s one sixtyminute track. When MAYHEM-guitarist Euronymous died, his label
