- Okey, you can start breathing again. Ticketmaster SCREWED UP, there is NO Slayer show on the 17th! I'm really sorry for giving you this false information, I thought it was "confirmed" when I saw it on Ticketmaster Online, but apparently they were wrong.

- Added one bootleg: Slayer at the Trocadero Club, fall of 1996. Thanks to Ron Collins!

- Removed the Internet Link Exchange banner. About one of ninety people clicked on the Abyss banner on other sites, so it didn't really increase the number of visits to this site. (Meaning, for every 180 visits to the Abyss, someone clicked on the ILE banner somewhere else and arrived here.) Please mail me if you want to discuss this matter any further. :)

Added a small icon (
) to two critical reviews on the "Reviews & interviews"

for pointing out the reviews. Added cover for the TSOL/Slayer vinyl single, taken with permission from the "Reigning in Blood" Slayer page.
Added more interviews and a few more links.
Announced the Abyss in three newsgroups: alt.rock-n-roll.metal, alt.rock-n-roll.metal.heavy and alt.rock-n-roll.metal.death.
Found and added lyrics to "Dissident Aggressor" to the South of Heaven lyrics page. Thanks to "J. Clark" for reminding me that they were missing.
Several compilations and soundtracks added to the discography. Thanks to Toni for keeping me busy with constant additions to the discography. :)
Added the Abyss to a some of the major search engines and WWW indexes:
Yahoo, Lycos, Alta Vista, Infoseek, Webcrawler, HotBot and the Ultimate Bandlist.
It might take a few days or even weeks before the Abyss becomes searchable and added. I will add the site to a few more engines soon.
Quickly designed this banner to promote the Abyss through the Internet Link Exchange. I'd appreciate any opinions about it: Is it cool? Horrible? Hard to read? Any suggestions for a new banner are welcome!
