Absu are a sick bunch of characters. To their drummer doing vocals while playing at the same time, to the insane guitar riffs and sheer tenacity of the band they are the founders of mythological occult metal. The album is a beast record and goes to show how crazy it can get. Down to the drumming to the guitar riffs and bone crushing production of it all. I doubt anyone can categorize this music into any other simple genre. They are parts thrash, death metal and black metal all in one. What I love most about this album is how it is all layered out. From the song titles to how it is all written it is a bona fide classic. Ever so frantic and cosmic, the powers of Absu are very strong.
If you are looking for an album that covers the mythological and is a thrashing good time you won’t want to drop this one. I have to say my favorite track is The Zephyr Winter (Within Kingdoms of Mist). You should definitely check this one out. –Daniel Ryan
