One year after the split release of Abyss and Besna, it is time to reunite once more in the form of a livestream. Since all tour plans again came to a halt in the last year, an online-event to show each bands liveconcepts in the scale of a full-length release was the next logical step.
While different in style, both performances are carried by emotion and intensity, conveying a live-feeling. Instead of a stage though, the bands decided to use specific backdrops, interrelated to both, concept and style.

Abyss was founded in 2009. Throughout the years, the line-up of the band was completed by young musicians from the rural area surrounding the Bavarian smalltown Dorfen. The sound emerging from this constellation was inspired by early nineties Swedish melodic black and death metal bands. The melody lines and the high pace in certain moments of their songs demonstrate a revival of groups such as Dissection or Sacramentum. But besides all that nostalgia, influences from modern representatives of the black and death metal genres are present in their music as well. Overall, the band’s songs are characterized by the exchange of filigree instrumental passages followed by partially melodic and partially raw riffing. This bandwidth delivers their main concept, which deals with chaos in all its facets. The published EPs are, in an abstract way, displaying several cycles, of which each begins and ends with chaos. Every release therefore shows a way from and a way to chaos, which in any case is inevitable. Abyss played several show around Bavaria and got first festival experiences as well as concerts abroad.
