Why did he simplify and dumb down the drum part between 2:18 and 2:56?! That used to be one of the most creative drum beats he ever wrote. Now it's simple as shit!
I'm already a 100% Absu fanatick, so this video only confirms what I already know: Proscriptor is an incredible magus. I was there in the crowd, but of course my view was nothing like this one! To tell you the truth, I really didn't give a damn about seeing the rest of the reformed Absu. Then, I'm a drummer so we have special allegiances.
To the one who filmed and/or posted this video: you are brilliant!

a) I'm not sure why you're so concerned about what shape he's in, as long as he can still play, b) there were 8 years between the release of Tara and the release of Absu. The guy is probably in his early 40s, considering he was doing stuff with Magus in like 1991.
Absu are as good as ever. Though I don't think "Absu" (the album) is better than Tara, it still trumps anything earlier than Tara as a coherent album.
@NogiLurtik i must totally agree. And the thing is, it's actually Great songwriting, too. fer real the songs encompass such a real diversity of styles, but they always rock!! Sometimes, with some metal bands who have really awesome skills (I.E., technical Deathmetal), it just becomes way too "look how fast we can play" and they forget that people actually want to listen to and Feel something from the music. yah, Absu 2009 will hopefully be 'logged' as a classic as time goes by...
He said he was the third pick for the drummer but replied.
" I truly believe that all the drummers that auditioned for the band were not going to get the position to begin with. I think it was just a ploy to bring Lombardo back into Slayer full-time."
Plus his views and beliefs were different from theirs.
This is proof for the people that don't believe that its a human drummer so FAST!!! and that he indeed does sing and drum at the same time... thanks!!!
I could see this band potentially inspiring a wave of good new metal bands. They are certainly one of the most genuine metal bands around these days. Hail Absu!
didn't know paul rudd was such a good drummer.

@LordKellicos Maybe because it's live and he's doing vocals. It tires you out immensely. That could be a possibility.
