Abraded
Abraded is a splatter-soaked death metal / grindcore band hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, USA, known for blending old-school death brutality with the chaotic intensity of grindcore in a raw, guttural assault on the senses. Founded in 2018, Abraded sprang from the rotten underground of the American extreme metal scene. The band was formed around musicians with ties to other hardcore and grind outfits, bringing a DIY ethos and obsession with visceral heaviness into everything they do.
Abraded’s sound is an unrelenting collision of death metal grit and grindcore fury — razor-sharp riffs, blasting drums, guttural growls, and unsettling lyrical themes. Their music explores grotesque subject matter like swamps, cannibalism, monstrous creatures, and other abhorrent motifs with a raw, primal energy.
While rooted in the old school death/grind tradition (a lineage that nods to pioneers like Napalm Death, Repulsion, Carcass, and Assück), Abraded also injects surprising elements into their sound: abrupt tempo shifts, occasional groove-laden sections, and gritty lead work that keeps their songs unpredictable and dynamite heavy.
