Abdomen Canvas / Press

“Abdomen Canvas is a brutal melodeath band from Orlando who are not afraid to hearken back to their roots and play songs in the vein of Death or Carcass. They have a very destructive sound that sounds as if it is on the brink of chaos. The guitar parts are fast and heavy, they have a certain swirling quality to them that makes me want to whirlwind headbang. The solos are highly technical and very tasty, they add a cool tech death feel to some of the tracks. The bass work is really heavy and has an extremely powerful attack that shines on songs like Ambitious Abomination. He adds a cool thrash metal feel and makes everything feel very extreme. The drumming is hectic and goes at a crazy speed. This guy has the skill to play any genre and his fills are all super fast. This helps add to the thrash feel and even sometimes has a Gene Hoglan flavor to it. The growls are brutal and filled with that classic Florida anger. They have the sheer destructive force of Carcass.”

“I decided to give a listen to Abdomen Canvas. These guys can rip some crazy technical death metal through the sinews of their brutal approach. When the music hits, it hits hard. Take "Cannibal Manifestation", for instance. It feels like getting crushed by a wall made of metal (literally, and metaphorically.) That's one of the apparent 2 songs the band has released so far, alongside "Encroachment". Likewise, that song goes for the throat. Both of the above also have music videos for the spread. Give them a look / listen below and see what you think of the metal \m/”

“Recently we’ve experienced too much bravado from the très brutal bands in local metal shows. But our final sigh has been halted, and we are ignited anew at news that Abdomen Canvas returns to the stage for the weekly beat(down) at Backbooth: Heavy Metal Juggernaut. Every time Abdomen Canvas plays we always expect calamitous, crowd-capturing, cooked-to-order metal delivered with neck-punishing speed, skin-clattering vocal work and superior half-time tact that differentiates them from their peers. This quartet, formerly and hopefully soon again to be a quintet, exhibits two qualities we see all too seldom working simultaneously in a newer death metal act: respect and poise. Joining their eager return is the well-balanced, havoc-wrought Motivated by Silence and fledgling braggadocios Tales of Massacre. Juggernauts have a habit of swelling into munificent beer-guzzling bashes conveniently recurring on service industry (see also: hospitality professional-friendly) night.-Jared Oates Hagg”

"Some would say that their music is so brutal they could feel their intestines exploding as they listen. Others would say they they have a distinct blend of old school death metal, modern day death metal and grind/brutal stuff. This band encompasses all aspect of these genres while also remaining singular from other bands" - Stephanie Jensen

“Congratulations to ABDOMEN CANVAS - voted as the 2011 Best Live METAL Performance!!!”

“A sort of Black Dhaliaesque sound that contorts into nice melodies at times and the ever-epic breakdown slowed to the dry hump of molesting the dead with low-end distortion.”

“Abdomen Canvas is a talented death metal band straight out of Orlando that puts brutality and harmony together into one powerful package.”
