Abydos (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abydos was a German progressive rock musical project, formed by the progressive metal band Vanden Plas' lead singer Andy Kuntz. The origin of the name is in the ancient Egyptian city Abydos; where the God of perpetual reincarnation Osiris was worshipped, and where theatres were invented. Kuntz explains that he had chosen this name because the theatre plays an important role in his life, and that the album will be some kind of a reincarnation for his parents and three other important people in his life who have died monthes before the idea of experiencing a solo project.
