Everything is more than perfect.

If only I could see them alive

[Sekkingstad]

@Erzsebetxxx Well, they aren't dead yet, so if you want to see them live, you should look at their tour dates =P

[Erzsebetxxx]

@Sekkingstad

Yes sir! I have noticed the mistake, it was to late to correct it. Khm...Absu is immortal, not only still alive.:)

Will check their tour dates in this life or maybe meet them in another one...

Sry:) for my English. I will probably make some more mistakes.

[Darklorddany]

@Sekkingstad In fact, they are confirmed to the Inferna Festival on Oslo Norway this next april! hell yeah!

[Stormland]

@Erzsebetxxx Always eager to help. Let me know if you got to see them. I'm excited for you, lol.

[ThrashMetalBovi]

0:35 I came..

[MrDodstink]

I got into ABSU´s abyssic,nocturnal,infernal reigns and dominions since late ´93 when i firstly listened to their extreme cult debut album(Vitriol) and it quite suffocated me due their complex and faster arragements,unusual/historical lyrics,funereal vocals.

[StudsterG]

I got to run stage lights for this band at Joe's Garage in Fort Worth, Texas back in the day...lol

[demonika0]

@aricarob me too :D

[SeracRavel]

Three wild horsemen:

Three fearless in combat -

Three gold-crowned conjurers of clash, yet

Three clannish chiefs from the Kingdom of Midhe...

[TOOLAREFCKINCOOL]

@aricarob in all honesty, how could either of those things restrict you from liking this?

[MaxReinsch]

Love Absu. Proscriptor is badass.

[lethalnecris]

@aricarob thats either true or ur a troll but great anyway! xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDxD

[JaaniVan]

Proscriptor can literally hypnotize the audience with his super-fast-complicated-accurat­e drumming.:-)

[thesbourgeois]

props to every singer/drummer the dbl bass at 2:50 while singing omg wtf

[lordvladislas]

glad to see an absu video gettin more than 100 thousand views!!!

[soleshifter]

Ooooo :39 i hear King Diamond walking in.... yeah !!!

[Mathaius833]

I was listening to Immortal and I was like, damn these guys are getting progressively worse every song. I come here and its fucking Absu? WTF is that, and why the fuck did it take me here.

[code3jefe]

@aricarob Show us your tits

[jtannergarcia]

@code3jefe  (@Y@)

[code3jefe]

5;55 IS MY FAVORITE PART OF THE SONG

[27sevenSToFo]

@aricarob Then you're a christian girl with a very good taste in music!

[princessofbrutality]

I fucking LOVE this song.

[Faminekmk]

wow im from texas and just found out about these guys, nice

[nargarothfreak]

@Faminekmk

ookey how long do you listin to metal?

i am from holland and this is one of the first black metal bands i listin to:P

and that was when i was 14 and i am nou 21:P

but it is a very good good band form texas :)

Cheers!

[mgkpraesi]

Unbelivable that this guys are from the US. Great BM.

[hellfencer]

I'm planning on seeing Immortal / Absu next February when they stop in Chicago as part of the 6 USA All Shall Fall tour dates. I'm really hoping Proscriptor sings and doesn't use a front man. Either way it should be epic and brutal!

Oh my god - the drumming!!

[deadpisser88]

I love the Dio-like vocals at the end. Is that Proscriptor singing it? Major props if it is.

[Sekkingstad]

@deadpisser88 I think Proscriptor did the whole song by himself, though Shaftiel had some vocal parts in other songs. (You can recognize his growlish voice in songs like "Manannãn". But anyway, I can't say for sure.

The booklet states that Shaftiel did some vocal.

[cockybalboa2]

@Sekkingstad

The clean vocals in this song are done by Ronnie Trent. He has a thrash band called 10 Kingdoms.

[cockybalboa2]

@Sekkingstad The clean vocals in this song are done by Ronnie Trent, from the band 10 Kingdoms. 

[scyther666]

@Sekkingstad Actually the guy doing vocals on this song, other than Proscriptor is called Ronnie Trent.

[NogiLurtik]

@deadpisser88 Yeah that was all Proscriptor. He still can do it it's amazing. HAIL PROSCRIPTOR CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THESE GUYS LIVE! .l..l

[EyeHateFun]

@deadpisser88 It is him singing

[cockybalboa2]

@EyeHateFun No it's not, it's Ronnie Trent.

[MythificationYT]

@deadpisser88 I don't know if someone have already said this too you but it's Ronnie Trent from the band 10 Kingdoms who did the clean vocals on this song.

[dalla4brad]

thats fucking beast...i love that high scream...plus the drums kick ass



[InExfabi666]

on thath one picture, that guy in the front looks really GAY..

anyway, awesome band, Kicks ass!

unbelieveble drummer.

[Mayokitty7]

@InExfabi666 The guy in that picture, in the front, IS the drummer. Lawl.

[Mayokitty7]

@aricarob Because it is against YOUR religion to believe in such things. Many many parts of your Holy Book tell you that the pagans are strictly your enemy. [for example, look up Deuteronomy 32: 17-21].  You aren't a Chrsitian if you cherry pick your own Bible beliefs, though.

Hey, I 'm not saying you''re a bad person. BM is awesome and I would like nothing more then to add one more fan. But your dogmatic religion is getting in the way.

[Mayokitty7]

@aricarob @MarmuraLC Actually, no, since Black Metal is a genre DEVOTED to being against religion, specifically Christianity, it would be hypocritical to listen to it.

[MarmuraLC]

@aricarob what do religion or gender have to do with musical taste?

[krakenor]

Frickin awesome!!!

[maritzaacp]

uufff esta cancion es rebacana hace rato no la escuchaba!!! :)

[IscexxI]

Absu will always be one of the greatest bands to represent Texas and metal everywhere.

[xGNASHERx]

@IscexxI OMG HAX

[shanefire6]

if you like black metal or just metal in general,one cannot deny this band.....this is some good shit!

[AlPaChowYunFatKhan]

@aricarob You dear are unique! :)

[Sekkingstad]

@aricarob Wow, I would never have seen that one coming! Great!

[Greyflatlander]

Seeing their live video, you can tell where their heart is in relation to black metal. It's very much geared toward the "era" or "placement" into the material. You have to pick out each individual part of the song while you listen to it in order to hear this band in it's full light, which is ironically dark.

[666RebelAngel666]

Fucking love this band!

[jurc8]

I never listened black metal much but this band is fuckin' awesome \m/ hellyeah

[Mayokitty7]

Proscripter, what a fucking badass.

[pingadomulatinha]

best line-up this band will ever have, SHIP IT

[jisaw80]

ROFL

[TELORINODELHOYO]

9 chistians watched this video

[SniPrsGeTMoHeD]

@TELORINODELHOYO im christan and i love this band =P i really dont care what the lyrics mean i just listen to the drums n guitar and this songs got some epic ass fucking drums!

[divino1102]

chimba de tema !! 

[thrashedlife]

Sick.

[Cha0sB1k3r]

Vocals - dont really like too much...

but god damn that is one badass drummer....

[PsychoticPulse]

Best black metal band in the history of America. And one of the best ever, if you ask me. \m/

[code3jefe]

Hang on until 5:55 and this song gets good. This should be the hook earlier in the song.

[souann009]

I don't really like the band, but the drummer is sick as hell.

[Sekkingstad]

@souann009 Indeed he is.

Thank you, and respect for not saying childish stuff like "this band just totally sucks dude", even though you don't like it.

[souann009]

@Sekkingstad That's all right, I don't like haters anyway! In fact I can even say that I tried Absu, and it's okay to me, it's just not my big thing.

[BreathTheDeath]

@souann009 Your my hero.

[Snakeplisskin440]

The drumming at 2:49 O.O

[detnyericket]

Another great band from Texas. I miss Texas.

[enshinkarateman]

The clean vocals towards the end remind me of Dio, hail Absu!

[wishingbone29]

גאונות !!!

[DreamyGhost1492]

WOW that' sickness. Drumming and singing at the same time. Sounds like there's someone as talented as Flo Mounier out there.

[Draqenfrost]

with those sunglasses he looks like jhonny knoxville

[xWintermutex]

This rocks. I can't remember why I picked up this album ages ago, but I'm glad I did.

[pumpazabicikli]

from Texas? xD weak dude...totally weak

[etingber]

@pumpazabicikli You'd be surprised to know that Texas has a very very strong metal background.. up there with California, New York, and Florida.

[pumpazabicikli]

@etingber sure i know it's just.. i heard somewhere declaring them black metal. I haven't heard much of their music so i don't know whether it's true but black metal band from Texas?? that's what i thought when i said weak earlier

[etingber]

@pumpazabicikli Absu is more like black/thrash but if you want to hear black metal from TX check out Averse Sefira

[pumpazabicikli]

@etingber are they good? i don't wanna bother downloading if they are crap

[etingber]

@pumpazabicikli Yes very much so.  Just youtube a song or two

[pumpazabicikli]

@etingber xD that phatso looks like the one from Carpathian Forest..dunno i'll give them a try

[pumpazabicikli]

@etingber oh yeah,i know i heard for them something. I remember that May Result once performing one of their songs live - Jata Moja Crna (Tmina Praskozorja) said - this song is dedicated to a band Averse Sefira. Cool

[surtursfire]

This song is ridiculously bad ass.

[RoomTroll]

ABSUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ACDC666SatrianiVai]

Does the drummer sing at the same time?

[Sekkingstad]

Yes, he does.

Still, I believe that in the studio, he recorded the vocals after the drums.

But he usually sings many of the songs live while he's drumming.

[Hybridv9]

he said in an interview he tries to write the music to make it easier to sing while drumming.

[Hybridv9]

@Sekkingstad he said in an interview he writes the drumming and vocals specifically so that they are easier to sing and play at the same time

[MrVladvinny]

melhor banda de metal negro do mundo hail from brazil

[DoomgateAmon]

You've gotta light a fire for Proscriptor, I mean that fucker is talented who else can do vocals and percussion like that????

[deadrider24]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaa­aaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaa­aaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaa­aaaaaa

[purplehalfstack]

i love that riff that starts at 3:49.

[mongoosedriver1]

i read the comments below from the two idiots and i have no idea what the hell they are even arguing about. both of them act like children fighting over mommys attention.

[purplehalfstack]

im not much into deathmetal, but this was actually tolerable, sounded cool.

[purplehalfstack]

this is only a 3 man band?

[DoomgateAmon]

This is the gayest postings I'd ever scenesga, what are you bitches in Highschool

[Mikkel92]

you fuckheads, just shut up! barlein can't be white!

[entradaservices]

Anyway, I've heard that Wall-Mart has very cheap Gillette razor-blades ( you know, so cheap you emo-fuckfaces can buy it too).

Cut your skin for the win loser!

[entradaservices]

Who the fuck is Barlein? He has to be an emo-kid!

[barlein]

yeah, i'm an emo... you got me;)

[FlingTheKing]

An argument against a majority dressed in emo clothing is their

sad way to express themself. It represents the dark side of life, its even sad to look at.

I doubt a world dressed in pure black. Every human with a common sense will agreed with me on that one.

Its also very nostalgic and do not show any "bright" future. So I just cant see any

revolution with this emo thing.

But I respect all people, and everyone can dress them self in their own way and listen to the music they like..

[pinkgothcat]

Eh what does it mean to be "normal" anyway? @barlein ur probly the definition for what isn't normal. it should take person to realize that everybody is different in their individual way. What's the problem? Every individual has the freedom to be who they are, if people dress goth and/or listen to metal that's their choice. Wake up and take a look at the people around you instead of the abnormal person you see in the mirror who enjoys trying to talk down on others.

[barlein]

The defenition of normal is relatively, but my defenition of the expression: normal people, is the way the majority is like and how they act. of course everybody is different in their individual way, but the contrast between whom I define as normal and the impression I have got from you guys, is huge! And I'm not having THAT much fun talking "down" on you, I just really don't get this lifestyle..

[barlein]

And I keep hearing about goths and emos getting beaten up on the treets with no other reason than there horrible look. I know a guy who went from emo to "normal" because of an incident like that. I really understand who he dropped the emo-look, but why stay emo? does it have any benefits?

[barlein]

And for those who think of themselves as independent and strong because you're dressing yourselves against the society by waring black and metalstuff, you're not. you all look tha same...

[SolinvictusPL]

nice

[DeRagonRacing]

i saw absu at the jumping turtale sick as fuck! hails!!

[AbbathMetalProd]

so cruel this song runs into my body like blood its so awesome this band!!!

[TheSymmachus]

That is intense, especially the drumming on there. By the way, some of the clean vocals reminded me of Ronnie James Dio, which is cool. It is a very interesting song.

[Deadlyfreak06]

This Track, as well as the entire album, is simply Mindblowing!! Thank you for posting this mate, I hope I'll get to experience them live one day!

Proscriptor is the man! I love the way he handles those kettles:)!

[Brockx1989x18]

Proscriptor does the vocals as he drums?!?!?!

[Sekkingstad]

That is correct. He also does alot of vocals live. Like when playing "Highland tyrant attack".

If you're an experienced absu listener, you can clearly tell proscriptor from the other vocalist(s).

Check out the two other Absu-songs on my channel if you like this one.

[sk83rfr3k]

Yup. he's insanity lol

[Skargsahha]

Not bad man, not bad.

[IcarusComplex]

You've obviously never seen Proscriptor play the drums. He doesn't use heel toe at all.

[FutileExistence]

@IcarusComplex

what methos does he use then??

[IcarusComplex]

He uses the standard method really. There's a video of him drumming to Highland Tyrant Attack where you can clearly see how he moves his feet.

[FutileExistence]

@IcarusComplex

oh yes... I believe I saw that one!

[MacDresGhostises]

im not to fond of the king diamond vocals, but fucking cool regardless

[Headbanger9000]

Why not? King Diamond is an awesome vocalist. What does he have to do w/ this band anyways besides the fact that he was one of the pioneers of black metal

[Sekkingstad]

Hey, if you didn't quite go with the vocals on this song, try listening to all the other songs on the "Tara" album.

You will still be totally thrashed by the music, and Proscriptor doesn't use his falsetto screams, except for one other song on the album.

[Edd731]

Posting up 3 vids of Absu from that gig now.

[Edd731]

Seeing them tonight live for the first time ever in Plymouth (UK). Should be immense.

[DarkKvlt666]

You lucky git, I am jealous, But they are awesome dude

[Edd731]

lol yeah they were immense. Great presence and some shredding songs. \m/ cheers. :D

[DeathmatchDivision]

ABSU FOR THE WIN!

[Vagitarian696]

Fucking hell. 4:30 is just so fucking heavy! \m/

[Sekkingstad]

Tara is absolutely ferocious. Absu's rawest album without doubt. Still, no album of Absu sounds the same. And that's what I love about them.

[theinmortal6]

best US black metal band IMO

Tara is their best album 4 me

[snakeintheshadow]

probably the best US Black Metal band i´ve listened to so far

except Chrimson Moon

[MrParapao]

proscriptor is amazing indeed \m/

[Stormland]

ONE OF MY FAV ABSU SONGS!

[spacem00se]

Proscriptor is THE MAN

[Svartmetallno]

Hail from norway,thanks your visit to Norway, Bergen Cheers

ABSU.TEXAS

UUGS

[muslithefish]

holy crap this song is amazing! it may have just over taken she cries the quiet lake as my favorite absu song. not sure though, will have to listen a few more times to decide.

[FutileExistence]

have you heard Pillars of Mercy, its as equally amazing as those, but your right. This song has more beauty in it.... :)

[Stormland]

aside from this song, agreed!

[0101067127]

absu still the great ..

[acerb45666555]

3:07......the Kilt. the kilt you see mostly is Queen Victorias cotton version.........Original belted kilts were wool! and totally differant and much more practical ....... Victorias girly kilt design looks like a skirt!! i would only wear a traditional belted kilt!!

[666skullfucked666]

going to see them in october!

[Emarosajane]

lol
