Playing and writing the kind of music, you like the most yourself, is actually everything a musician could dream of. You don't have to simulate fun and passion, you are in peace with yourself and you are totally wrapped up in your music.

This principle is exactly what Abandon Hope are making music for, and we are more than happy to welcome them as the newest member of the SAOL family.

About the genre: We discussed for hours and hours and came to the conclusion, that it should be up to you to decide, whether Abandon Hope play Southern Metal, Heavy Blues, American south state rooted Hard Rock or something else.

The band, of course, has a very own definition of their style:
"Imagine our sound, as if Godsmack, Black Label Society and Life of Agony met for a BBQ at the shores of the great Mississippi. This rich mixture slides down your throat like a hot marinated steak, finally flushed down by a pitcher of cold barley brew."

Backed up by their EP "Existance" and the full length album "The Endless Ride", the quartet from Münster and Hanover, Germany, is eager to present their music to the public - and their next record is already about to be released!

At no time they have to be afraid of comparisons to big international acts, since not only the band's sound easily reaches professional levels. The incredibly varied vocals are standing out already while taking the first listen to the record and the songwriting quaility is not one bit weaker than that. Abandon Hope always manage to fascinate the audience with tight grooves, driving riffs, varied song structures, and mature lyrics.

The soundtrack to rhythmically destroy your living room furniture!
