In June 94 the debut CD 'Verwüstung / Invoke The Dark Age' was recorded, and 'Verwüstung' convinced with outstanding Black-Metal, so it set ablaze ABIGOR's mark as one of the best bands within the Black-Metal genre. In November 94 the concept MCD 'Orkblut - The Retaliation' was recorded. 'Orkblut' is the story of a warrior who remembers his pagan origins which inflame his heart. It shows his life from the day he rises, his feelings and his last battle, until his death and the severance of flesh and spirit.
In Spring 1995 the overworked demo-song 'Shadowlord' was exclusively recorded for the NAPALM Compilation 'With Us Or Against Us Vol.1'. In May 95 ABIGOR entered the studio again to record 'Nachthymnen (From The Twilight Kingdom)', and it showed the first time ABIGOR's real capacity, and their ability of realizing majestic soundscapes of dark atmospheres as it's best. In November the same year they started the recordings for the first chapter of 'Opus IV', entitled 'Horns Lurk Beyond The Stars'.
In May 96, 'Blut Aus Aeonen', the second chapter of 'Opus IV' was recorded, and the final result, 'Opus IV', was released in July 1996. With 'Opus IV' ABIGOR did again a step forward, and they shocked with a very aggressive, technical, and strange album, yet still typical for ABIGOR's everlasting way of development.
In January 97, the MCD 'Apokalypse' was recorded in two days, the most raw and brutal ABIGOR release so far as ABIGOR's tribute to the values and true spirit behind Black Metal.
From November 97 through January 98, 'Supreme Immortal Art' was recorded, and with 'Supreme Immortal Art' ABIGOR entered again the realms of very dim and atmospheric Black-Metal. As a result of the good response on 'Supreme Immortal Art' a 7", entitled 'Structures Of Immortality' was released, with a limitation to 500 copies, at the end of September 98. And because of the numerous inquiries regarding ABIGOR demo material, the band has decided to release a strictly limited demo-CD (to 1500 copies) on the 12th of October 98. The CD, entitled 'origo regium 1993-1994', was again released through NAPALM RECORDS. origo regium' offered a few selected songs (Kingdom Of Darkness, Eye To Eye At Armageddon, Diabolic Unity, Midwintertears, ...) from the first 4 demos. But both releases, the 7" and the demo-CD are already sold out, and won't be reprinted.
From January to March 99, the CD 'Channeling The Quintessence Of Satan' was recorded. During the recording session Silenius left ABIGOR because of personal reasons. So Thurisaz joined ABIGOR as new vocalist and the album has finally been finished, and released through NAPALM RECORDS at the 17th of May 1999. A very powerful, and transparent production, as well a high musical standard, combined with the mental attitudes of Black-Metal reflects the spirit of 'Channeling The Quintessence Of Satan', it's ABIGOR's most extreme and aggressive album yet! At the 8th of May 1999 the cover-version of SLAYER's 'Crionics' was recorded for the US label DWELL RECORDS. 'Crionics' was released through a tribute album in early 2000. In November 1999 the cover-version of KREATOR's 'Terrible Certainty' was again recorded for DWELL RECORDS and released in spring 2000.
In April 2000 ABIGOR signed a new multi-record deal with NAPALM RECORDS and immediately after that the band started the work on the album 'Satanized (A Journey Through Cosmic Infinity)'. In late May 2000 T.T. left ABIGOR because of personal problems (drug addiction) and differences with the other members. He was then replaced with Moritz Neuner on drums, who's already known of his professional work in various Austrian Metal bands. In August the same year the MCD 'In Memory*' was released. 'In Memory*' features the 2 cover-versions, the most unknown ABIGOR song 'Shadowlord', the first (yet unreleased) rehearsal version of 'Crimson Horizons' and a studio rough-mix of the song 'Verwüstung'. A tribute as well a collection of rare ABIGOR songs is what this MCD represents. From late October through November 2000 'Satanized (A Journey Through Cosmic Infinity)' was recorded at Tonstudio Hörnix. 'Satanized' was released in March 2001, it's shows the band further branching out with a now more sci-fi orientated sound and imagery, it's the blackness of the new eon!
In June of 2003 Peter decided to lay Abigor to rest due to his inability to identify himself with the current black metal scene, as well as problems with the line-up and the bands record label Napalm Records. In the Autumn of 2004 the final release of Abigor was unleashed in the form of a 7" LP titled 'Shockwave 666,' which was to be the epitaph of Abigor. After a few years of absence from the black metal scene Peter reformed Abigor in early 2006 with a new line-up with plans to start recording a new album. In May of 2007 the reformed Abigor unleashed the new album 'Fractal Possession' through End All Life Productions. The current line-up features Peter: guitar & bass, Thomas: drums & guitar, and new vocalist A.R.

Part I
Abigor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The devil, great consumer of mortality, appears as the destroyer of cause and effect, and of God's linearity.
Hence man can be merged in His infinity.
Monument, o mighty monument of time!
We're marching through the ongoing passage of time
Life eating... collapsing... drowning...
Continuum... sequence... pendulum...
We provoke spiritual leadership
We step out of this miserable race
We become one with His principle
We are one
We invoke the magnificent purity
We invoke the almighty black flame
We become one with His principle
We are one - we are none
Locked and trapped inside thy self
Thou shalt never be free
Dissecting process marches on
Without limitation
c solemn decay procession
Cycles structuring around thee
Like a maelstrom
[Ecclesiastes 3:1-8:]
c time to kill and a time to heal
c time to tear down and a time to build up
c time to weep and a time to laugh
c time to mourn and a time to dance
c time to throw stones and a time to gather stones
c time to embrace and a time to shun embracing
c time to search and a time to give up as lost
c time to keep and a time to throw away
c time to tear apart and a time to sew together
c time to be silent...
cnd a time to speak
PERPETUc SERVITUS
Thou seem to be separated in entities
Consumed and erased you creep and crawl
c sequence of extermination
Constellations evolve out of prima materia
Periodically transforming and enduring
Focusing on metamorphosis
Where shall all this lead to?
Grand Master Satan lead us through!
Time - father - reaper
Life eater
Time is Satan's way of keeping everything from happening at once.
[clbert Einstein]
Perpetual cycle devoid of all logic
So cold and bare of all reason
When nothingness becomes even more desperate
c moving mausoleum of eternal death
c delicate cut through the heart of goodness
Tyrants of an alternate faith rise in clarity
ScTURN ESCHcTON
We provoke spiritual leadership
We step out of this miserable race
We become one with the fragmenting principle
We are one - we are none
Bloody knives and utopias shall be hidden
Yet there is a weapon that will never be found
We the shadow's priests - we are absence
The endless not-knot - the void's presence
Directing the anxiety circus in eternity
Monument, o great monument of time
O you black colossus of presence

The lyrics to Abigor's song "Part I" convey a deep exploration of themes related to time, mortality, spirituality, and the human experience. The song begins by presenting the devil as the destroyer of cause and effect, challenging God's linearity. This suggests that by immersing oneself in the devil's infinity, man can break free from the constraints of mortality and merge with a greater power. The lyrics depict the ongoing passage of time as a relentless force that consumes life and collapses origins, leaving humanity disoriented and trapped within itself. Amidst this decay, the song calls for spiritual awakening and the invocation of both purity and darkness, aiming to become one with the grand principle. Abigor highlights the cyclical nature of existence and the eternal march towards death, drawing inspiration from religious scriptures such as Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, which outlines various contrasting aspects of human life and time. The lyrics also explore the concept of perpetual servitude, wherein humanity appears to be separated and consumed, existing in a sequence of extermination. Constellations and primal matter undergo transformation, emphasizing the focus on metamorphosis and the uncertain destination of these changes. The song addresses themes of tyranny, faith, and the pursuit of hidden knowledge, accompanied by a sense of absence and eternity. Ultimately, it proclaims victory, resurrection, and the fall of all logic, culminating in a call for the father to reap the soul, unveiling the truth as humanity forever falls.
