Genre(s): Death Metal/Deathcore
Location: Madison, WI
WOA: Abaddon appears in biblical, Greek, and even in Jehovah's mythology. All have different definitions and ideas as to who he was. But the one thing that seems to be agreed upon in all versions, except one, was that he was the "destroyer" of said belief and system. That's something I firmly believe in. So I guess I feel we are taking on Abaddon's war in a sense.
PSAB: Your EP This Hell Dies With Me is set to release June 21, 2014. How pumped are you guys for that, and what are your expectations?
WOA: We are extremely excited for this release. I think we are just as excited for the CD release party (which is sponsored by Pig Squeals And Breakdowns) as we are for the EP! But This release has been in the making for more than two years. We have had many set backs in the process of getting this recording done so we are ready to finally have this EP out.
PSAB: If you could share the stage with any band, which band would that be and why?
WOA: Thats a tough question. There are so many bands that I would want to play with. We pull influence from so many bands that we respect and admire. But if I had to pick one band I would have to say Meshuggah. They are revolutionary in the metal word in my opinion. I feel it would be an amazing experience to share the stage with them.
PSAB: What is the local metal scene like in Madison, WI?
WOA: The metal scene in Madison, WI is awesome. It is very close knit community here. All the bands are friends who all hang out with each other. You will see members of almost all the bands at any given show. The fans are great here as well. Very loyal and extremely supportive. They help us out a lot with getting our names out there and with advertising shows. The venues and the people running them are true music fans so no matter where you play you will have an awesome time.
PSAB: If you could have any musician featured on one of your tracks, which musician would that be?
WOA: I would love to work with Phil Anselmo from Pantera or Scott Lewis of Carnifex. Pantera is the band that got me into metal at the age of 12. Phil got me interested in wanting to do metal vocals. To have an opportunity to work with him would be a dream come true for me. Scott Lewis is my favorite vocalist of the newer class of metal. I'm a huge fan of Carnifex and the style Scott has. I like how raw he keeps his vocals and is one hell of a performer.
PSAB: Do you have any shout outs to give to your fans, and the readers out there?
WOA: I would like to give a shout out to The Circuit Theory, The Faith Hills Have Eyes, An Ocean Above Us, Ultrea, The Unnecessary Gunpoint Lecture, Casket Robbery, Unbibium, Descending The Heavens, Spider Studios, Dark House Studios, Travis Fletcher, Darwin at The Frequency, Amanda Longfield, Cory Scheider to name a few.

Our fans have been so great
and loyal to us. It is a great feeling to finally be able to have music
that they can take with them. As far as expectations are concerned, we
just hope people enjoy it and want to come out to a show after hearing
it.

It
would be a challenge to see if we could even come close to holding our
own with them. I'm sure we would learn a lot as far as making us (War
Of Abaddon) better performers as well. Plus, I think it would be
interesting to see what how a Meshuggah crowd would take to us, good or
bad.
