Having originally gained exposure by way of having one of their songs as a Rock Band bonus track, they have gradually worked their way to the top of the Northeastern death metal game and become a major force in the genre as a whole.Formed in late 2005 by Mallika Sundaramurthy (vocals), Michael O'Meara (guitars, bass), and Jay Blaisdell (drums) after Mallika joined in for an impromptu live performance of the Sepultura classic "Desperate Cry" with the band Teratism, the band quickly added Jeremy Henry (rhythm guitar) and the original lineup was born, and with the buzz they soon attracted, Teratism quickly folded and Abnormality became the main band. A demo was released in 2007 after quite a few live shows, gathering even more buzz, but 2008 proved to be their breakout year. That was, after all, the year when Rock Band 2 was released, and "Visions" just so happened to be one of the included songs as per the standard "Harmonix staff band bonus tracks" tradition, as Mallika was part of the art team at that time. That year also saw the brief presence of Shawn MacDonald on bass, though he did not stay long and was replaced in 2009 by Josh Staples. More shows followed, and 2010 brought with it three things: the departure of O'Meara, the introduction of a dedicated lead guitarist by the name of Ben Durgin, and the writing, recording, and release of a new EP. The Collective Calm in Mortal Oblivion made a big impression on the local scene, and they immediately started writing for a full-length, which they recorded in 2011 but held off on releasing while they label-shopped, though a deal with Sevared Records was inked sometime after and Contaminating the Hive Mind was released in 2012 to much critical acclaim, with a whirlwind of shows and fest appearances following it that has, among other things, led to an appearance at the Bogota Grind Death Fest. A new album is also in the works, though the release date is still up in the air; with the amount of buzz they've gotten, however, things aren't looking bad for them. As of November 2014, Ben Durgin has left; Sam Kirsch was announced as Durgin's replacement as of April 2015, and as of October of 2015, they have officially been signed to Metal Blade Records and are currently recording a new album for a 2016 release.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); }) | |

Early Installment Weirdness: Their first demo was noticeably grindier than their later material and had a trade-off vocal dynamic with Michael O'Meara (who wrote a good deal of the album), and had a virtually nonexistent lead guitar presence. | |

Action Girl: Mallika is known for being one of the few female vocalists in death metal and also for being one of the more famous women in metal as a whole. She's also quite famous for jumping offstage to start or participate in pits when given the chance. | |
