Abstinence is an experimental industrial project founded in 1985 in Belmar, NJ, now based in Brooklyn, Earth. Its sound ranges from magnetic bombastic rhythms to noise, ambient soundtrack to earbleeding powertool squeals. All in a lush tapestry of video/audio dialog and sound-samples.
Abstinence's new release "Delusions of
Architecture" will feature a double disk (DVD & CD) with a unique aluminum case and
17" x 11" printed artwork to celebrate our 25th anniversary!

Delusions of Architecture [DoA] is an analytical exploration of the way people fail to understand the control structures of the societies, companies, organizations, religions, and communities they hold dear. "DoA" embraces Abstinence's experimental industrial roots by creating an organic industrial style of composition while using new tools and concepts.
Release date Winter 2011. This will be our first formal release in 15 years.
