Absu - The Gold Torques Of Ulaid

[Heavymetalvideogamer]

This is one of my favorite songs. I love the drumming in it (I'm a drummer myself). Hail Proscriptor!

[DieByMyHand1]

How old is this? They sound so different nowadays

[ryder187mac]

@DieByMyHand1 Somewhere between 95 and 97. I guess it was written around the same era as The Third Storm of Cythraul as they used to play this song live when they were touring with material from that album, but this song obviously didn't appear on this album. It got used in a movie, Gummo, and then was put on this Absu compilation of unreleased material

[Cyclonus21]

@ryder187mac what part of Gummo was this played at anyway?

[kwastimus]

@Cyclonus21 Tbh I don't know, I watched the movie after hearing some good things about it and finding out this song was in the soundtrack, but didn't recognise it when I watched it

[Cyclonus21]

@kwastimus I mean the soundtrack is fucking amazing but half the songs I don't think are even in the movie. Sometimes you have to really listen though because they might be played as background music for a split second.

[kwastimus]

@Cyclonus21 Yeah, then again it doesn't make sense for the song to be on the soundtrack CD if it's not actually in the movie. But Gummo isn't really ordinary in any sense, maybe the soundtrack is just some songs that fit the general "vibe" of Gummo

[jaysunpuke]

Nice!!! Was surprised I never heard of you before... now I will listen to you a lot!

[jimmypaul23]

this song is fuckin rad. ABSU !!!

[fintrolldeath132]

[maxeypad]

PROSCRIPTOR!!!!!!

[Arnkh]

Wow, this is nice!

[MrScorn]

Yeah there aren't lyrics anywehre, but I think he says at one point 'I am the red knight that charges with might'

[PigDestroyer101]

the best band on the gummo soundtrack (IF not burzum) would deffinetly be Bethlehem

[Zabbulux]

De loS MeJoReS TeMaS DeL MeTaL!!!!!!!!!!!

[blobatax]

GUMMO rules, (but more importantly) ABSU rules!

[burgle1284]

I've been listening to this soundtrack in my car and have almost wrecked a few times from rocking out a bit too much. Thanks for posting this, wasn't sure what the band name was. Yeah, i'm lazy.

[elloimdrew123]

only good thing ever to come out of texas

[canteenboy94]

umm what about gammacide

[Frizkiz]

@elloimdrew123

true, btw i like pantera too :p

[trilobite3339]

great drumming!

[Pansons]

Can someone please figure the lyrics out? I can't find it anywhere on the internet.

[fucked13up]

proscriptor is a thrash metal scientist!

[tingtongnidnoi]

I read somewhere that this amazing track was used in the movie "Gummo".. -I haven't seen it,but my " film-freak friend" tells me its great. This song is just 100% perfect! fantastic riffs,drumming and the hateful vocals!! Absu is an underrated band indeed,they have released great albums of Death Metal,Black Metal and "Black Trash"! My all time favorite is "The Third Storm of Cytraul" (97)! Hails to all fans of Absu,from a dedicated fan in Norway! !

[mrapala]

It is used, but only in soundtrack CD, not in the movie. The movie itself is quite interesting.

[SamuraiZach0]

Interesting yes...movie is very bizarre, I recommend watching it if your enjoy strange films.

[RogueAndroid]

@SamuraiZach0 Wait... the title of this track is also the title of a movie?

Gotta see it then... if anyone can confirm, please do so

[SamuraiZach0]

@RogueAndroid The movie is Gummo, the song is not actually in the movie but just on the CD, weird fuckin movie that's for sure haha, best part is when the midget beats the big guy at an arm wrestle lol

[bzwaig]

@SamuraiZach0 hahaha shits so fucked up XD

[lucasridesbike]

go see gummo. its great.

[USBMFBMLLNBMOBM]

That movie is awesome... Great sound track too... haha

[MrScorn]

They also play Burzum, Bathory and some other black metal

[texs4orce]

KILL!!! ABSU is fantastic. a pure classic is unfolding right now!!!!

[P3dro5]

Fucken great!!!!!

[1MorA1]

withinspace: is this the demo or what?

[BrutalEpicMetal]

2:22 is SICK!!!

Haha, look at my old comments as kidyt, I never used punctuation. :P

That is when I used to be sort of dumb.

[6go6re6]

4 months ago.

[BrutalEpicMetal]

Yeah, it was like suddenly when I started trying to pay attention to stuff I started learning really fast, oh and it's five months ago, it was over my summer break so I had a lot of time to around and learn stuff.

[6go6re6]

It's all good. I think we all go through that stage. Some of us just grow out of it, but some don't.

[halberdmetal]

You must be dumber now than ever before.

[BrutalEpicMetal]

Fuck you.

[halberdmetal]

------------>  :D

[BrutalEpicMetal]

Lol, I was joking about the cuss words, I wasn't really mad, but my smarts are about average, I passed this school year with all a's and b's, and one grade two points away from a b.

[ilovesoda]

intelligence /= good grades

[scumfuck84]

This was a cool release i never heard the real old stuff by absu but i've been missing out its great! I can't wait for the new one to be released in feb!

[abdigon]

my favorite absu song of all timeeeeeeee

[Pansons]

this song is great, I can't find lyrics to this song :[

oh btw its "Torques"

[withinspace]

Don't know how I managed to forget the "q" Thanks though! I have also been looking for the lyrics to this song. For years now.

[Forbiddenevil1986]

all i got is "i am the red knight who charges with might!"

[Pansons]

oh shit yeah, thanks man.

[kpmorgan]

I have the lyrics if you want them

[Pansons]

oh of course!

[kidyt]

the vocals in this song aren't to great but i love how they try to do their own thing with the vocals this is one of the best black metal bands ever :D
