Abscess is an electro-industrial band from Germany that formed in 1994 consisting of vocalist Jan Bicker and composer/programmer Sunny Schramm. After self-releasing several demos they signed to Glasnost Records in Hamburg, Germany later that year. Working with famed X-Marks The Pedwalk frontman and producer, Severn-Ni-Arb (André Schmechta), at his T.G.I.F. Studios they recorded and released their first album in 1995, "In Your Mind", to wide-spread positive reviews. The following year they produced, recorded and engineered their second album, "Journey", on the same label. For their their third and final known album, "Punishment & Crippled Reality", they moved to the legendary Zoth Ommog label in 1999. This was reprinted that same year on the Gashed! label. They have also made several compilation appearances.
With the collapse of Zoth Ommog they have not released any further material although they are rumoured to have material for another album. Sunny Schramm continues to be involved in the music industry as a producer and re-mixer under the pseudonym of 'Type (2)'.
