ABDICATE

About Me


Abdicate is a anomoly, hard to describe and harder still to categorize. They are a quintuplet that transitions without warning, also their own genre of metal to another; however it doesn't stop at just metal! At times the music they play could most be defined as elegant and melodic. Incorporations of such a wide spectrum of sounds and time-signatures allow Abdicate to keep listeners on their toes.
Abdicate's live shows is a spectacle: vehement, atmospheric, chaotic and beautiful, all seemingly at once! One may ask one's self how this is achieved, well with five members who's influences are as wide ranging as the member's appearances it seems to be the status quo.
Aside from sound and show, Abdicate has played with a few National Act's: Dry Kill Logic, Bobaflex, Nodes Of Ranvier, Anal Cunt, Modern Life Is War, Straight Line Stitch, Index Case, Ninetail.
They also have had an in-studio interview/showcase at Local Radio Station 105.1 Channel Q. The Facilitator of the show on 105.1, Brandi could only say, " Wow, the guitar work is sick," and was left speechless after the vocalist recited the lyrics for an old track titled "Descent Of A Once Benevolent Empire."Countless accolades have been gained from spectators at various Abdicate shows.
They have made a great astonishment on describing the bands regions they encounter and that this band is not a local outfit but also regional.They have played with act's ranging from the midwest to northern, western, eastern and southern state's.Abdicate has made a aparent impact on the scene's in these areas especially two festival inpaticular being contacted at a regular bases.It is obvious now, six years the musical monolith known as Abdicate will only push further and continue to reach more listeners and continue to push boundaries musically, socially, politically.
