Abscess - Damned And Mummified (2004)

Abscess was an american death metal band from Oakland that also combined some elements of grindcore, punk and death doom metal into their sound.

The band was born from the ashes of Autopsy in 1994, featuring some of its former members (Chris Reifert and Danny Coralles). Although the lyrics remain rooted in the themes of horror and gore, Abscess has a more 'tongue-in-cheek' approach to death metal compared with Autopsy.

In 1997, Freeway left the band to be replaced by Joe Allen who took up the task with disturbing enthusiasm. In 2000 Joe left the band to be replaced briefly by Jim Mack on bass, a local friend and true maniac. Another chaos riddled gig ensued, proving Abscess was still a sick force to be reckoned with. Eventually, Jim Mack left Abscess and in 2002 Joe Allen rejoined with no intentions of leaving the freakish fold. Abscess started honing the live set and began focusing on musical depravity a bit more than club destroying depravity.

Abscess released six full-length studio albums: Seminal Vampires And Maggot Men (1996), Tormented (2000), Through The Cracks Of Death (2002), Damned And Mummified (2004), Horrorhammer (2007) and Dawn Of Inhumanity (2010) and several demos and splits.

In June 2010, Abscess announced that "Clint Bower has left the band for personal reasons and out of respect to him and to all who have supported us for these 16 years, we have decided to call it a day."
