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.

The Legacy
Abigor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As all nightmares come to life
Extracted pain unfolds within this realm of fear
A change of visions extend my mind
Psychotropic pulse
I am the chosen one Satan's son
A flash of shivering stardust enlightens
Reality's borders fade
Replaced by liquid glass
Modulation tunes reveal
All your tears unleashed
All souls wrapped in plastic and wonder how
It must hurt to see all the fears unleashed
A battlefield of indescribable beauties
Like silver statues that glide
In everlasting oceans depths
Legions march onwards in their perpetual cycle
But soon our journey reach it's end
And since ages I felt that kind of satisfaction
As my one and only axe strike hits the hand
Of my chosen victim that kneels crying before me
Oh how I enjoyed to see him cry and finally die
Now your prophetic redeemer is dead
But take a look around and understand
What has changed, say to do really miss him?
So forget all set up morals
And let eternal wisdom flow
Cosmic revelation demonic incarnation
Collective concentration total devastation
Psychotropic pulse
I am the chosen one Satan's son
A flash of shivering stardust enlightens
The truth beyond the portals
Set ablaze the fires of Satan

Overwhelming fear
Intense fear taking over
As all nightmares come to life
All fears materialized before my eyes
Extracted pain unfolds within this realm of fear
Pain becomes real within this scary place
A change of visions extend my mind
My mind is opening up to new perspectives
Psychotropic pulse
My mind is experiencing a sudden change
I am the chosen one Satan's son
I am Satan's favored one

The edges of reality dissolve
Replaced by liquid glass
Liquid glass fills the void
Modulation tunes reveal
Different settings unveil new truths
All your tears unleashed
You are finally letting go of your emotions
All souls wrapped in plastic and wonder how
Everyone seems emotionless and curious
It must hurt to see all the fears unleashed
Watching fears come to life is painful
A battlefield of indescribable beauties
Beautiful things in a chaotic place
Like silver statues that glide
Graceful movements in the midst of chaos
In everlasting oceans depths
In the deep abyss of the unknown
Legions march onwards in their perpetual cycle
Groups move forward in a never-ending routine
But soon our journey reach it's end
Our journey is coming to an end
And since ages I felt that kind of satisfaction
I have waited long for this moment
As my one and only axe strike hits the hand
My axe finally hits my target
Of my chosen victim that kneels crying before me
My victim falls to their knees crying
Oh how I enjoyed to see him cry and finally die
Watching them suffer brings me pleasure
Now your prophetic redeemer is dead
Your savior is gone
But take a look around and understand
Look at what's left and realize
What has changed, say to do really miss him?
What's really different? Do you really miss them?
So forget all set up morals
Ignore societal values
And let eternal wisdom flow
Let deeper knowledge guide you
Cosmic revelation demonic incarnation
Demonic transformation into cosmic beings
Collective concentration total devastation
Destruction through collective effort
Set ablaze the fires of Satan
Embrace the power of Satan's flames
