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 months before the idea of experiencing a solo project.
