Should the page of Abigail the band ever be made, it should be made at this location: Music.Abigail Band


Barbatos are a Japanese black/thrash metal band with only one goal; to rock your fucking face off. Formed by bassist, vocalist, sole constant member, and mastermind Yasuyuki Suzuki as a side project of his band Abigail, Barbatos have a raw, primitive, ThreeChordsAndTheTruth approach to heavy metal, influenced by bands like Music/{{Motorhead}} and Music/{{Bathory}}. Their songs are short, simple, and fast, and their lyrics, written in absolutely butchered English and delivered in Yasuyuki's signature drunken vocal style, concern war, partying, Satanism, dirty sex, and the ways of heavy metal. The band have released an enormous number of demos, [=EPs=], and splits, along with a handful of full studio albums.

* {{Retraux}}: Like Abigail and Tiger Junkies, Barbatos is yet another deliberately retro throwback to old Japanese D-beat, proto-black metal, and punk-thrash, with Barbatos in particular focusing on the rawest and most barebones side of that general stylistic milieu.



* StylisticSuck: Yasuyuki Suzuki's lyrics are deliberately written in [[BlindIdiotTranslation mangled]] English despite actually being a reasonably fluent speaker.
