Abominator is an Australian black/death metal band formed in Melbourne, Australia, in 1994. Their lyrics commonly deal with war and spirituality. They have been compared to Angelcorpse and Morbid Angel.
Abominator was formed in Melbourne in 1994 by Andrew Undertaker and Chris Volcano (formerly of Deströyer 666) and self-released their first demo, Barbarian War Worship in May 1995, which featured six tracks. It was later rereleased as a split with Swedish death metal band Mornaland. In late 1995, Dave Deathsaw (guitars) and Gary Gestapo (Bass) were added to the lineup and performed numerous gigs, including with cult black metal band Bestial Warlust. The vocalist for Bestial Warlust, Damon Bloodstorm (bass, vocals) joined Abominator about this time, and Gary Gestapo was dismissed.
In 1997 they recorded their next release, another demo titled The Conqueror Possessed and Dave Deathsaw departed the next year. Abominator achieved a major success in the US, signing a deal with Necropolis Records. They released Damnations Prophecy, and recorded a track for Necropolis' 1999 compilation album, Thrashing Holocaust. Around 2000, they began writing and recording their next album, Subersives for Lucifer, but Necropolis decided that they no longer wished to support Abominator and rendered their contract void. However, Abominator managed to secure a contract with Osmose Records shortly after, and Subversives for Lucifer was released under Osmose. After the release of this album Damon Bloodstorm departed.
Shining satanic armour to impose barbaric rule
Enraged by all seen we recite the curse of destruction
I carve the ashen fate
Crystallised in brimstone
Arsenal of religious hate
Vaporise the populace of drones
Within the star's clairvoyance
A swarming sign of locusts
Release the black ordinance
A wall of flames erectus
Rampant penetration
Seraphic sacrifice
Besiege the landscape of holy desire
As commander and destroyer I think thrice
Your paradigms flawed – now on fire
Death projection – the priest is the beast
Recollection – two thousand years without peace
The unholy sepulchre rises as I tread
Crumbling the sacrament
Bombshells reign
Psychotic explosions
It's perversion or death
The ultimate ordinance of obliteration
Fire at will
The ultimate ordinance
The sky reveals our comrades
A swift demonic breed
Those fed by this anger
Are spawned by Ares' seed
Failing oppression of the hierarchy
The false confessions of the worthless
Cyclonic birthplace darkens the sky
Black ice emerges to command their deaths
Doomed destinations we allocate
To minions driven only by wanton hate
Orders executed against the blind
Crush all temples and burn all minds
Beneath the cross where the bell once chimed
Charred remnants of the sermon you'll find
Order must be obeyed
We see no signs of learning
The end of the ultimate war climaxes in psychic burning
Death projection – the priest for the feast
Recollections
Jesus bleeding without peace
The unholy sepulchre rises as I trounce
Crumbling the sacrament
Bombshells reign
Psychotic explosions
It's perversion or death
Payload beckoning, ultimate ordinance
Condemn and destroy
