Knights of the Abyss

S

tarting off right from the gate with the Decapitation of the Dark Ages EP in 2005, the year of their founding, Knights of the Abyss would start with only Phil Noriega on vocals. For the full length debut, Juggernaut (2007) featured an entirely new band in the form of John Seabury (bass), Nick Florence (guitars), Mike Mannheimer (vocals), Dustin Hadlock (vocals), Andy Rysdam (drums) and Sean Roy (guitars). The sophomore effort, Shades (2008) saw Cody Brechtel taking guitars along side Florence, and Aaron Stone taking bass.

The band's love of complete replacement happened again on the aptly titled The Culling of Wolves (2010) to now see Florence with Griffin Kolinski (R.I.P. 2015 from complications of heart surgery; bass), Brian McNulty (guitars), Logan "Harley Magnum" Kavanaugh (vocals) and Ben Harclerode (drums).

Due to the death of Kolinski, the bass position would eventually be taken up by Gabe Santillan. Mark Brice took vocals shortly before.
