The Abyss

The Abyss began in 2007 when singer/guitarist Sean Ozz and bassist Ronnie Kopal connected to form The Abyss. Ronnie and Sean had gone to school together and Sean's band from then had made it's mark on Ronnie's memory. Sean Graduated and then spent most of his adult life in California creating his own tattoo and custom art business. Sean is an award winning artist who tattoos and paints custom guitars which can be seen at http://seanozz.com. Sean returned to Houston TX around 2003, where he randomly met up with a familiar soul, Ronnie. Soon after re-connecting, Ronnie asked Sean if he would be interested in starting a music project. Sean had been working on his art under the name The Abyss and the two agreed it would be fitting for the sound and style of the musical art they would create…and so they began. Sean's influences include such bands as Jane’s Addiction, The Cure, Joy Division, Radiohead and many more. Sean has always been a bit off the path of normalcy and brings that into his music while creating a sound and style that is unique and far from mainstream. it is a style of music that is heavily influenced by visual art. They strive to capture the emotion and feeling that today’s music has left behind. After the band went through line up changes in the drummer position, in 2010 Paul Cannon joined the band. This line up continued for close to 3 years while The Abyss started to make a name for themselves in Houston's local scene. Getting Nominated two years running for best Alternative act in the Houston press's music awards (2011-2012). in late 2012 after opening for Public image limited Paul and Ronnie had to depart for family reasons. Not to let this slow him down Sean powered on and got a new line up to keep the show on the road. Bringing in friend and guitarist Bill Curtner as well as Brent Lee who both had worked with Sean in the past was an instant fit. Taking role of drums was Chad Pleasent. The Abyss is finishing up their 1st full length CD and getting back to playing live venues throughout the U.S. The Abyss stands out on their own upon a sea of imitators in a new world of alternative music.
