ABC Diabolo was a German hardcore punk band active from 1990 to 1995, known for blending crust punk, grindcore, and screamo into a raw, politically charged sound. Hailing from Saarbrücken, Germany, the group featured members Andreas Eid, Jean-Pascal Stoerk, Kai-Uwe Sommer, Marc Schönwald, and Ulrich Steffens. Their music was aggressive and uncompromising, often tackling themes of social injustice and existential angst. ABC Diabolo released two full-length albums—Last Intoxication of Senses (1993) and Give Rise to Doubts (1995)—alongside several EPs and compilation appearances. Though short-lived, their intense performances and visceral recordings earned them a cult following in underground punk circles, and their legacy persists through reissues and archival releases like the 2021 self-titled EPDiscogs.
