Abigail Williams

Favorite

US atmospheric black metal band based in Olimpia, WA (previously in Phoenix, AZ; New York City, NY; Los Angeles, CA). Founded 2004 by Sorceron, Ashley Ellyllon. In 2006 signed a deal with Candlelight Records. In spring 2007 disbanded, in January 2008 reunited.

The name of the band comes from a 17th century girl Abigail Williams, one of the original and foremost accusers in the Salem witch trials of 1692. Williams was eleven years old at the time and living with her "uncle" Samuel Parris in Salem village. The trials ended with the deaths of 19 innocent people. There is no definite evidence of what happened to Williams after the trials ended.
