Abysmalia initiated its career as a one-man-project in 2007 when Jouni Koskela decided to upload an extended play entitled "The Sewage of Lies" featuring songs he'd been putting together so far. Enthused by the relatively positive feedback, he decided to write more material. Ever since that time, Abysmalia has gained more members (Antti Jylhä on bass guitar in 2008 and Marko Nikula on clean vocals in 2009) and released three intertwining conceptual full-lengths up-to-date. The music is inspired by the surrounding environment and freedom of self-expression and therefore is not strictly limited to any sub-category of the metal genre.
