Abominationz is the ninth studio album by Twiztid. Released October 22, 2012, it was their last release under Psychopathic Records, as they left the label following its release.
Abominationz was predominantly produced by Strange Music in-house producer Seven. Featured guests on the album include Royce da 5'9" and Insane Clown Posse. A variation edition of the album featured additional guest appearances by Krizz Kaliko and Glasses Malone.
On August 16, 2011, Monoxide stated on Twitter that the next Twiztid album would feature a guest appearance from Hopsin. However, this ultimately did not happen.
On April 18, 2012, both Jamie Madrox and Monoxide were interviewed on Strange Music's BlogTalkRadio. During the interview, they released the new album title, Abominationz.
Recording for the album started in the first week of February 2012 and ended in late March 2012 as Twiztid prepared for their Kaos and Kronik tour. While Twiztid was on tour Joe Strange began mixing songs and recording of the album resumed in June 2012 after Twiztid had returned from tour. The Album was finished being recorded and mixed between June 2012 and September 2012.
Producer Seven provided a more varied sound for Twiztid on Abominationz, culling from blues on "Bad Side", providing a power ballad sound for "LDLHA-IBCSYWA" and generally drawing from electro and rap rock throughout the album, as well as underlining the raps and music with horror film-inspired sound design. For the album, Twiztid adopted a faster rapping style which allowed the duo to write more lyrics for the album than previous efforts. The duo's primary lyrical inspiration for the album was anger and hate, with elements of dark humor, including gallows humor.
