Knights of the Abyss was formed in 2005 after drummer Andy Rysdam had left his former band
Job for a Cowboy . They have recorded two full-length albums, which have been released bySiege of Amida Records andFerret Records respectively. Early songs featured Phil Noriega and Mike Manheimer, but whilst recording their debut album, "Juggernaut", current vocalist Manheimer injured his throat. [Band MySpace blog] Dustin Hadlock, a friend of the band who had done guest vocals on some older tracks, stepped in to record the rest of the album and toured with the band throughout January 2008, until Manheimer returned to continue with the band. [Band MySpace blog] A new song, titled "A New Darkened Faith" (from their new album "Shades", due out in June 2008) was posted on the band's MySpace page in early April. All vocal duties on "Shades" were handled by Dustin Curtis of the band A Breath Before Surfacing from Tucson, Arizona.
