Abhoth

Swedish Death Metal Band

Abhoth is a Swedish death metal band that was formed in the late 1980s. They are known for being one of the earliest bands in the Swedish death metal scene, contributing to the development of the genre with their heavy and dark sound. The band's name is derived from a creature in H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, which reflects their interest in dark and esoteric themes. Abhoth's music is characterized by its brutality, complex compositions, and deep growling vocals. While they did not gain mainstream popularity, they have been influential within the underground metal community. The band's activity has been sporadic, and information about their full discography is limited. However, they have released a number of demos and at least one full-length album that has been well-received by fans of the genre.
