About
Abstract Belief was an underground experimental and noise project active during the early 1980s. Operating primarily through cassette releases on the independent Banned Production label, the project produced a body of work that aligned with the emerging industrial and experimental noise aesthetics of the era. Their catalog includes ART80-81, documenting material from the project's formative years, alongside The End Justifies The Means (1984) and Proud Flesh C45 (1985), both released on cassette. The project's output reflects the DIY ethos and lo-fi production values characteristic of the underground tape culture of the period. While detailed discographic information remains limited, Abstract Belief contributed to the broader landscape of experimental music during a pivotal moment in industrial and noise music development, when cassette tapes served as the primary medium for distributing avant-garde material outside mainstream channels. The project's releases through Banned Production situate them within networks of independent experimental musicians and labels active in the early 1980s underground.
