History Edit
Early history and first album (1999-2003) Edit
Abaddon was created in Chicago Illinois in 1999, initially as a solo-project of Nullifer Bones with accompanying live musicians.
The first musical creation to be released was an untitled demo released in 1999 on Nullifer Bones's birthday, August 2.
Later that year (1999), the first full length EP, Entitled Master, was released in limited print cassette tape form on September 9, 1999.[2]
During this period the band toured throughout Illinois & Wisconsin including The Rave / Eagles Club.
Joining of Candy Bones (2004-2009) Edit
In 2004 founder Nullifer Bones moved to Italy where he created the project Spectrum-X with his future wife, musician Candy Bones.
A few tracks created for the Master EP from 1999 were performed live and some were used on a Spectrum-X demo entitled Dreambook which was released in 2004.

The musical tracks they created in these years ended up being used on the Spectrum-X albums "Tea Party with Zombies"[3] and "Darkest Night Ever,"[4] which were released by the Japanese record label Darkest Labyrinth.
During this period they were featured in many different magazines including Gothic Bible to advertise the Japanese Goth subculture accessories company Suppurate System,[5] Kera magazine for heavy metal subculture clothing,[6] German gothic magazine Dark Spy, and finally Alamode magazine for the Darkest Labyrinth compilation album and festival.[7]
