Well, fudge! Join Jesse Van Rachnid on this episode of All Abandon as he explores the career of early-to-mid-aughts metalcore band Mendeed. Hailing from Scotland, Mendeed only released two proper albums, 2005's This War Will Last Forever, and 2007's The Dead Live By Love.

Daghorn denies wrongdoing, but what do you think?If you enjoy the show, consider supporting at:https://all-abandon-pod.captivate.fm/supportVideo versions available on Youtube.
