The embryo of Abandon Agony began its journey in the womb in early 2023. The initiator and father of this fetus was Tobias Järvelä, former guitarist in Memoria and Dragon Steel, among others. Robin Toresson (formerly of Memoria and Goddess Cult) on drums joined early on as second guardian. A meeting with Christoffer Tönnäng regarding the recording and planning of a music video for Memoria did not result in a music video, but instead unexpectedly led to a third member and Abandon Agony’s second guitarist was thus hammered out. During a dark and wet evening at Trollhättan’s hardest rock bar, Tobias found a bearded Viking behind the beer barrels who would prove to be awesome not only at tapping beer, but also turned out to be a really sharp bass player. After a test rehearsal, it was clear, Jonathan Wagerland was thus the fourth member to join the family.
