Abnormality is an extreme metal band from Massachusetts. Abnormality began in late 2005 when Mallika (vocals) joined Massachusetts death metal band Teratism on stage for a live rendition of Sepultura’s “Desperate Cry.” So impressed by Mallika’s raw ability, Jay (drums) and Michael (lead guitar/vocals) of Teratism decided they could not let her talent go to waste and immediately started a side-project that quickly became their main focus. Shortly thereafter, Jeremy joined on rhythm guitar and the core lineup was complete.

In 2007 Abnormality released a 3 song demo. The song Visions was included in the video game Rock Band 2 in 2008 as a bonus song.



In 2009 Josh joined the band on bass guitar. In late 2009 Michael left the band and was replaced by [b)Ben[/b]. They began writing for and will release a 3 song EP in 2010; The Collective Calm in Mortal Oblivion.

In June 2012, the band released Contaminating The Hive Mind, their debut studio album. In April of the following year, the group published a music video for "Fabrication Of The Enemy".

In October 2015, the band announced that they were working on their second studio album with producer Pete Rutcho. In 2016, the band announced the title of the work as Mechanisms Of Omniscience, releasing three songs from that album.

In April and May 2016, the band toured with Battlecross, Soulfly, Suffocation and Lody Kong.

In November 2020, the band announced they had broken up
