Band Bios

Scott Team- Vocals Scott was with the band before it was named Abyss; back when it only included himself and his desire to start a rock band at the time when rock was slowly starting to fade out of the music industry. Having worked in light rock, punk rock, cover rock, and hip-hop projects to date, Scott has always enjoyed diversity and variety when it comes to music. His strongest influences seem to share his love for diversity (i.e. Rage, Faith No More, Sound Garden, Living Colour and Alice in Chains). For this project, Scott honed in on a few style concepts to tie each song together under one umbrella. These include heavy/punchy riffs, frequent breaks within measures, and catchy hooks.

Benny Bischoff- Guitar Benny has been with Abyss since its original formation in August 2002. What he lack in experience, he makes up for (ten fold) in talent and technical skill. His strongest influences come out of the guitar work of the 70’s and 80’s including Thin Lizzy, Gary Moore, Alex Lifeson, ect. As a dedicated student of the guitar, Benny continually strives to improve his ability and refine his technique. Benny adds retro guitar licks over modern rock riffs which help set Abyss apart from the typical rock of the 2000’s. His signatures, aside from his solo work, include screaming pinch harmonics, witty, melodic leads (found in songs such as “Anxiety” and “Perfect”).

Demond Smith- Drums Demond joined Abyss in June 2003. 20 years experience on his instrument or not, he was a perfect fit from day one. Only recently having moved to the Atlanta area from Columbus, Georgia. Demond came with plenty of experience performing with other bands from that area of the state. His influences, including Prince, Fishbone and Public Enemy, help add to the eclectic foundation of Abyss. His signatures include creative snare and high hat work.

David Keating- Bass David joined Abyss in October 2003; bringing with him 17 years experience as a musician. The bands that first inspired him to become a musician include Boston, Kiss, AC/DC, Judas Priest and Rush. When he first picked up the bass his main influences included the Circle Jerks, Dead Kennedy’s., Sex Pistols and The Ramones. David’s own sound matches the look of his custom detailed bass: strong and heavy. David is completely self taught as a bass player and has worked with various cover bands prior to joining Abyss. He is a metal fabricator by day, so when he is not playing bass he can be found making armor, sculptures or furniture recreationally.
