1) Abandoned is an old school thrash metal band formed in the south of Hessen, Germany

The band members:

Eric 'Kalli' Kaldschmidt – Vox/Git

Leadsinger an Downstrokemaster par excellence!

Holger 'Holg' Ziegler – Git

Schnullerking Of Death, raper of innocent 16th notes and desecrator of long-gone songs.

Günter 'Günt' Auschrat - Bass

Defender of flatulent frequencies, conqueror of the four strings of the Shaolin and beardwearer (as of late).

Konrad 'Konny' Cartini - Drums

Tanner of skins, master of furious club wielding and passionate shitbreak.

Check out their official website www.gebolze.de for more information.

2) ABANDONED - Tony Adolescent was the main culprit here. An album entitled Los Angeles, Motherfucker!!! was initially recorded and pressed in 1985, but re-released by Grand Theft Auto Records in 1996. And yeah, the spirit of the early ADOLESCENTS does shine through this thing, but in a nasty-ass, dark-alley TALES OF TERROR sorta way. Tony was clearly not enjoying his time in La Habra or wherever the fuck he was eeking out his existence at this point. This is not at all bad - but it’s grim, in that way only low-rent suburban LA life could be in the early/mid 80’s.
