Abstinence is an experimental industrial project founded in 1985 in Belmar, NJ, by Darryl Hell (Operation:Mindwipe, Emergency Broadcast Network) and now based in Brooklyn, NY. Its sound ranges from bombastic to noise, ambient soundtrack to ear bleeding power tool squeals. All in a lush tapestry of video/audio dialog and sound-samples. Since 1985, Abstinence has created experimental industrial music that follows in the traditions of the Beats, the Dada movement, the Futurists, the raw vision of punk rock, the origins of industrial music, the freedom of the experimental art movement and the eternal global human rights art movement. The most recent line up features Darryl Hell, John Bechdel (False Icons, Killing Joke, Ministry, Prong, Murder inc., Fear Factory, Pigface) and Deftly-D (Nau-Zee-auN, Zero Times Infinity, Hawaiian Shirt Mafia, Orgy Of Noise, Terrorfakt, Abuse By Consent). http://www.s6k.com/abstinence http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstinence_(band) http://www.discogs.com/artist/Abstinence Also another band (depressive black metal) by this name from Russia, with a 2010 demo album; Self-Purification Read more on Last.fm.
