Abigor is an Austrian black metal band formed in 1993.
The band was formed in 1993 by Peter Kubik and Thomas Tannenberger. After the release of several demos, original vocalist Tharen (Alexander Opitz) left the band and was replaced by Silenius (Michael Gregor), who recorded vocals for all Abigor releases until the recording of Channeling the Quintessence of Satan during which he opted to leave the band. Thurisaz, who had been in the thrash metal band Lost Victim together with T.T. in the 1980s, joined the band and finished recordings on Channeling the Quintessence of Satan. In late 1999, T.T. left the band for various reasons (ranging from personal problems to being fed up with what once was the "scene"). After his departure, Abigor released two more albums before breaking up in 2003.
In April 2006, P.K. and T.T. decided to join forces again. During the following year, Fractal Possession was released. The band was scheduled to release a split EP in 2008 with French black metal group Blacklodge. In connection with this release, Abigor was supposedly cooperating with Norwegian experimental artist Zweizz.
Within the Dungeons & Dragons role playing game materials, a number of devils are given characteristics or roles within the story lines. This is a list of the devils that have appeared in the various materials as characters that are specifically named.
Some of the characters are based on devils in folklore traditions, while some were created specifically for the game.
Abigor is a Duke of Hell in the service of Baalzebul, in the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game. Abigor appears as a large hairless humanoid with small horns, black hooves, a forked tail and ochre skin. He has large crimson bat wings and a loud, bellowing voice. Abigor is a vassal of Baalzebul, commanding 60 companies of cornugons (horned devils). He was nearly slain by Nisroch, for which Nisroch was sentenced to become one of the Rabble of Devilkin.
Abigor first appears in Ed Greenwood's article "The Nine Hells Part II" in Dragon #76 (1983). Abigor was briefly mentioned in Faces of Evil: The Fiends (1997). Abigor was briefly detailed in Fiendish Codex II: Tyrants of the Nine Hells (2006).
..And so my mind is calm
Ready for the darkest eons
Candlelight caresses my eyes
Incense smoke displaces soiled air
This trip is part of an endless journey
I'm Satan and Satan is me
Finding myself through this experience
Wash away all that ever was...
My life is a funeral ceremony
As I march through the mortals' graves
I obey deepest inner instincts
And gain the endless power of darkness
To place the seed of evil
Right in the heart of the earth
..And all ancient power manifests as shadows
Which darken not only my heart and soul
But the holy light of all that dare to stand
Against the forces of the black flame
In der Nacht als der Mond tausend Gesichter hatte
Offenbarte sich mir das Geheimnis
Und anstatt der Haut in der Menschen Gesichter
Sah ich nur dunkles Spinnennetzgeflecht
In the night when the moon had a thousand faces
The secret was revealed to me
And instead of the skin in the human faces
