Abyecta began as a two-piece metallic punk onslaught formed by singer/guitarist Carolina Valium and drummer Marc Boleas in Barcelona around 2019.
After rehearsing for a few months, the duo recorded their debut EP, Infrafuturo, just before the pandemic hit. As the Covid hell unfolded, Carolina was forced to return to her native Chile, where she reformed the band with drummer Benjamin Orrego. There Abyecta recorded and released their second EP Enemigos De La Razón in 2022. In both EPs, Abyecta demonstrate a deep passion and dedication to a blend of aggressive hardcore punk with elements of ’80s speed metal and thrash. Abyecta relentlessly deliver a barrage of fiery riffs and thunderous drumming, drawing inspiration from a spectrum of legends including all-female heavy metal bands like Las Brujas and Leather Angel, and metal/punk stalwarts, ranging from Razor, Whiplash and Exciter (North America) to Discharge, Sacrilege and Broken Bones (UK) or Death Side, The Comes, G.I.S.M. (Japan).
Currently, all copies of their seven-inch records are sold out from their label Symphony of Destruction, but a collected vinyl LP containing both EPs and their brand new Demo III are expected to be released in physical format just in time for Abyecta’s tour in May 2024. Don’t miss the chance to see them live!
