Abdullah

Cleveland's Abdullah came into being in 1998 and went the usual route of shifting lineups and demo recordings (at one time featuring only one member, vocalist Jeff Shirilla) before stabilizing a couple of years later. Their last album was 2002's Graveyard Poetry, and it's quite the rocker, featuring a stoner-infused garage semi-doom sound reminiscient of bands like the late Spirit Caravan or the horde of early 90's Hellhound doom bands. Several influences can be heard, from prime Sabbath riffing to NWOBHM energy to 70's garage/psychedelica, topped by Shirilla's excellent melodic voice. Since then the band was in constant flux and finally announced an extended hiatus in 2009, which eventually became permanent.
