The band was born as SWARM in Friuli Venezia-Giulia (North-Eastern Italy) in 2003 playing death metal, then in summer 2004 the name turned into the definitive ABYSS OF PAIN. The joining of Alessandro “Bibi”, who added his deep voice and strong presence, let melodic and Nordic sound to melt together with most brutal and aggressive rhythms. The group so formed began to play all around its native Region, becoming one of the most well known new metal band, thanks both to live shows and to the recording of their first demo called “...and pain grows stronger”, in April 2007.
In summer 2007, Abyss of Pain started to promote their CD, playing also as supporter for some famous metal band as Raintime and Slowmotion Apocalypse during festivals.
