ABIGAIL was formed in January of 1992 by Yasuyuki (bass / vocals), Youhei (drums) and Yasunori (guitar) being inspired by early Black / Thrash Metal bands like BATHORY, VENOM, SODOM, BULLDOZER, HELLHAMMER, NME etc. The first demo “Abigail Demo #1 ‘92” was released in July of 1992 and in August of the same year they played their first gig with SIGH. In February of 1993, Youhei and Yasunori left the band. Nevertheless, second rehearsal/demo “Blasphemy Night” was released in March. In August of 1993, 7” EP “Descending From A Blackened Sky” was recorded by only Yasuyuki. This 500 limited 7” EP was released on H.S.B. Records in Holland and was sold out within 1994. In June of 1995 Warmaster Records in Colombia released 700 limited split CD with FUNERAL WINDS, which was again recorded by only Yasuyuki. Yasunori and Youhei came back to the band in February of 1995 and recorded “promo tape ‘95”, which was released on 7” EP by Of Gods Disgrace Productions, Canada in March of 1996. The debut full-length album “Intercourse and Lust” was unleashed in 1998 by Modern Invasion Music from Australia.
