End of Year Report

2012 has been another productive year for ABYSS RECORDS. Over the past year we have released some of the best METAL that the underground has to offer and have more set to be released through out 2013. With the addition of new bands to the roster like ANGIST, THE HORDE, ASTROPHOBOS, DEAD AWAKEN and MESOPOTAMIA and releases from returning artists THOUSAND YEAR WAR, SEPTEKH and ANGREPP we are sure that 2013 will surpass what we have achieved in 2012... We would like to take this time to say thank you to all the bands, zines, labels, etc. that we have worked with over the past year and to all that have shown there support for

ABYSS RECORDS.
