Abaddon
Abaddon
He discovered Black Sabbath while babysitting and later designed one of metal’s most iconic (and demonic) logos for his blasphemous metal band, Venom. He also had Slayer and Metallica as opening acts, including a gig in which Venom blew a hole through the stage during one of their first U.S. appearances. Drummer Abaddon joins us to discuss his band’s deep-rooted, black-metal influence, “Spinal Tap” moments, setting Johnny Zazula’s kitchen on fire and opinions on the extreme metal bands that followed in Venom’s hoofprints.
