There is power in a band’s name, like a magic spell, announcing to the world what they are and what they stand for. ABANDONED SOULS summons up images of Milton’s ‘Paradise Lost’, heroic outcasts rising up against impossible odds, to establish their own unique identity. As vocalist James Todd explains:

"The name Abandoned Souls is in reference to all those people out there that have at one time or another felt like the outcast. That common bond and love for this music is what brings all of us Abandoned Souls together."

I've seen Abandoned Souls a number of times with different incarnations of the band, and each time they have left a mark on me. This band is the definitive of "bring the thunder" when they play live.

As a 4pc band now, they come out of the gates with power and musicianship that is to be envied by both patrons and musicians alike. Every one of these guys are elite players and James Todd's vocals commands that you pay attention - and you will.

Aside from the skill set of each member on their respective instruments, is the fact that this band invests in giving you a "visal show". They put in alot of work onstage (I've seem them do all the pre-show work myself) with scrims, smoke, lanterns with simulated fire and they dress up in a classy and befitting way of metal rockers.

It adds to the enhancement of the show and shows that the band wants to give you "entertainent" for your patronage - something I wish alot more bands would do. When it comes to the music, well they come out hard and they never let up on the gas for the entire night, and their songs are well written and crafted to take you on an odyseey from start to finish.

On April 29th, 2017 the band released on Amazon, Spotify, CD Baby and all major online retailers their new EP "Make It Last". Do yourself a favor, catch their next show and grab a copy - that way you can revisit the "thunder" long after the show itself.
