Each seal was scheduled to break at midnight on a certain day.

The first seal, entitled 'A great star called Wormwood falls to the Earth', provided a grand introduction to the Abaddon era, describing the release of the album as an apocalyptic event, stating that 'The One Who Walks Among The Crops would return to roam the world and spread his black magick unto the masses' upon the release of the record.

Lyrics and concept Within an interview on his website that was published upon the breaking of the fourth 'seal', Boondox stated that the title of the album came from the meaning 'destruction' or, literally, 'place of destruction.' Regarding the title, he stated, 'To me, Abaddon is that destructive force that drives me. Is it a possession or just a chemical disorder?.

All I know is that's the way I've always been. I just use Abaddon as a term to describe it. I like to think of it more like a possession.' In the same interview, when asked about how Abaddon differs from the rest of his work lyrically, Boondox replied that 'I get a lot more personal lyrically on some songs. There's more hidden meanings and riddles in the lyrics. They are more reality based. I think it's a little more clever on the word play than my previous records.'
