Abramelin is the debut album by Australian death metal band Abramelin. It was released in 1995 by Thrust Records.[1] Shortly after its release, the album was banned in Australia due to the highly offensive nature of the lyrics.[1][2] The album was reissued by Repulse Records in October 1997 due to lack of distribution outside of Australia, and again in 1998 by Thrust Records as a double-CD which includes the Transgression from Acheron EP, and featured no lyrics in the CD booklet. It was manufactured and distributed through Shock Records.
