History & Biography Black Abyss is a German speed metal band that was formed at the beginning of the nineties. A demo was called … For Eternity and released in 1994. After many shows with the likes of End Of Green and Mon Amour, the band released a demo CD called Why in 1998.
BA signed with Sub Zero, but with the label losing its distribution the search was on again and the band landed with B.O. Guitarist and founding member left the fold in the summer of 2001, but not before completing an album. This was issued by Massacre records and consequently the band’s profile fell and it became more underground. Black Abyss returned briefly for live action with Bernd in 2009. Guitarist Ralf Rieth Spitznagel made a cameo. He was replaced by Thorsten Lichtner. Signing with Massacre had set the band back and it was only in 2014 when a new record emerged. This record featured both new guitarists and a new bass player. The group opened a show for the Iron Maidens in 2016. Michael “Michi” Müller (Red Creek and ex-Bleeding Red) joined on bass in the summer of 2022. Oliver Hedrich had also left. Marc Matzka, formerly of Ebola, was added on guitar at the beginning of 2023. The band entered the studio. Instead, the group was silent beside cancelling an announced gig due to "family reasons" on 14.10.2023. After six years of absence, the band announced a gig for July 2025. It was opening for a Metallica and an Iron Maiden cover band!
