Abscess

Abscess was an American death metal group formed by Chris Reifert (with Danny Coralles among others) after Autopsy; their recorded output blends raw death metal, grind and hardcore with occasional doom elements.

Reviews on DeBaser link Abscess directly to Chris Reifert and Autopsy. Early releases (e.g., Seminal Vampires And Maggot Men) are described as intentionally raw and punk-influenced; Urine Junkies continues gore-themed lyrics with a rough sound; Horrorhammer (released with Peaceville and Tyrant Syndicate per the review) mixes death metal, punk and doom and received more positive assessments.

Three DeBaser reviews give a mixed picture: early releases criticized for raw, intentionally lo-fi brutality while later work (Horrorhammer) is seen as more varied and partly successful. Reviewers repeatedly link Abscess to Autopsy and Chris Reifert. The band blends death metal, grind and hardcore with occasional doom passages.

For:Fans of old-school death metal, deathgrind and hardcore-influenced extreme music; followers of Autopsy/Chris Reifert.
