Abhinanda, a seminal hardcore punk band, emerged from the robust music scene of Umeå, Sweden, in the early 1990s. They were a key figure in establishing the community known as the Umeå hardcore scene and became closely associated with the straight edge movement, living a lifestyle free of drugs and alcohol. Their intense energy, combined with a socially conscious viewpoint, and their melodic yet hard-hitting sound, helped them gain a significant following within the hardcore genre.

Throughout the years, the band released several influential records, including their notable albums "Senseless" and "The Rumble," and singles like "Tsunami." With the self-titled album "Abhinanda," they further cemented their status in the hardcore community, known for their blistering live performances and impassioned lyrics. Though they experienced various lineup changes and the usual struggles that come with navigating the punk scene, Abhinanda maintained a devout following. Their music continues to resonate with fans of the genre, being hailed for its ferocity and its articulate expression of the ideals and challenges of their generation.
