Abigor

Abigor is an Austrian black metal band formed in 1993. They are named after an upper demon of war in Christian demonology.

== Origin == The band was formed in 1993 by Peter Kubik and Thomas Tannenberger. After the release of several demos, original vocalist Tharen (Alexander Opitz) left the band and was replaced by Silenius (Michael Gregor), who recorded vocals for all Abigor releases but left in 1998 while their fifth album Channeling the Quintessence of Satan was being recorded. Thurisaz who had been in the thrash metal band Lost Victim together with T.T. in the 1980s, joined the band and replaced the vocals of Silenius on the album. In late 1999, T.T. left the band for various reasons (ranging from personal problems to being fed up with what once was the "scene"). After his departure, Abigor released two more albums before breaking up in 2003.
