Abaddon was formed in Chicago in 1999, initially as a solo project of Nullifer Bones with accompanying live musicians.

During this period the band toured throughout Illinois & Wisconsin including The Rave / Eagles Club.
In 2004 founder Nullifer Bones moved to Italy where he created the project Spectrum-X with his future wife, musician Candy Bones.

The band is also known for a loud and emphatic sound.

In 1984, the band was included in the Guinness Book of World Records for delivering the loudest performance, a record which they have since broken on two occasions. They also hold the world record for the longest heavy metal concert after playing for five hours and 1 minute in Bulgaria in 2008. They also have been known for their slogan "Death to false metal".
