2:03 ...I do exactly the same movement when I listen to Absu with headphones at the bus.

Airdrums FTW

[Nirvana0000]

0:36 Original Spirit Fingers. 

[Szykon100]

hahahahahahaha

[codsodomizer]

1:08 lol. Absu is so bad ass.

[TrueAdam]

4:01 to 4:03 I thought about south of heaven from slayer.

[benuddin]

wt kind of bullshit is this

[mujce]

@benuddin this is not lady fucking gaga ..... go there and do not spam here

[666subatomic]

Such a budget production, yet the theatrics are just fucking awesome. Every year or so I come back and watch this over again. Awesome.

[Solitaire8888]

Too bad he doesn't know the hand gestures for "I'm a musician".

[666subatomic]

@Solitaire8888 NFI what you are on about!

[pala010180]

@666subatomic Dude. It's simple. This song is strongly influenced by board game such as charades. Check out the lyrics. "I am a hawk", "I am a mountain" - and all with corresponding gestures.

[MrDodstink]

I´m into ABSU´s abyssic,occult,mesmerizing reigns since ´93 when I firstly listened to Vitriol album...KEEP THE UNDERGROUND ESSENCE UNTOUCHED!!!!!

AVE ABSU!!!!!!

[rejectedbythedevil14]

love it!

[igor1987pl]

Funny band.

[Iconlast]

nice me likeee brutaaal assault!!!!

[alen104]

only a stupid think that the 666 is the number of satan..the reign of satan is the reign of 99 % where there is the absolute vacum and only 1 % is god....the 666 is only a fucking number thath satanic black metal band use in their song....how ever slayer's bassist is a religious man..he said he is chatolic..excuse me for my leanguage..but i'm not english

[armordooz]

This is why no matter how badass the music may be, no one should ever let black metal bands make music videos.

[emperor1983]

this band is kicking ass so fucking bad!!.... \m/ hail from greece!!

[autumnduskx]

Shaftiel is the man!

[mawrocki]

Who the FUCK voted this down?!

[ElectricEyeJP]

yeye! Time to smoke a ciggie

[manenir]

dude this album can suck absorb and eliminate your mind

[Frostleichen]

seh ich live

[StudsterG]

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

[Dungarth]

..Sounds like Slayer meets Darkthrone.

[that1ethnicguy]

Dude I didn't know Xerxes had his own band

[TEUFELEFUET]

OLD FUCK YEAH

[EyeJayAre]

Saw them last night w Immortal, so sick

[joshshannon]

@EyeJayAre Awe dude I hate you, I'm so jealous, that's my two favorite bands, If immortal would just come a little farther south when they come over to the states I could see them(I'm from alabama and have a family so I can't drop all kinds of cash on driving to a show then paying to get in ya know)

[FonzFactor]

Just saw them open for Immortal in Chicago. Fantastic F'ing show!!

[wildboy789789]

if any nazis or rednecks are at this concert in denver im bashin your head in

[wildboy789789]

this band is playing with immortal in denver colorado... IM GONNA BE THERE IN 3 MORE DAYS!!!!

[AlthenasGuard]

@wildboy789789 Hell Yeah I just got back from the immortal show in Denver. Amazing as hell!!!

[wildboy789789]

@AlthenasGuard I JUST GOT BACK TO MISSOURI FROM DENVER!!! i was under the stairs to the right of the stage by the huge bald white dude... the bassist was kicking at me and headbangin at me when i shot my devilhorns up in the air, it was fuckin insane... in one of the songs the drummer from absu was stairing at me and we were head bangin fast just lookin right at eachother... i had no idea id get so close to the stage, it was INSANE

[EmpyreanDrums]

@wildboy789789

WOW! All the way from Missouri? I'm sure it was worth it. Both bands were amazing

[OnlyDethIsReal]

Wish they would have played more of this album when I saw them live.

[warluso]

Great RIFFS!!!

[spites1]

wow this is fucking vicious

[Alhambrattp]

\m/

[sirote666]

666

[VinterNatt1785]

And they have Pest of Gorgoroth and Obtained Enslavement on vocals. Absu and them should play a show together.

[VinterNatt1785]

Speaking of kick azz American Southern metal, anyone a fan of Bloodstained Dusk??? They're from 'Bama.

[VinterNatt1785]

I'm glad he went back to the str8 black vocals, they're the most vicious...

[VinterNatt1785]

Lord Of The Shadows is INSANE!! So is McGovern. For awhile, McGovern started to sound like Cartman on vocals, like between "The Sun.." and "In The Eyes..". Didn't take away the viciousness though...

[ObituaryDoctor]

Is this clip exist in better quality?

[hellfencer]

I am taking a lot of influences from Absu and they are already one of my favorite bands. I am looking to join a pure black metal band side-project. We are going to prove that the Norwegian spirit can flow within Americans too :D

[turdspooning]

Absu is just as terribly underrated as Coroner.

[URNCrack]

Wolves in the throne room is my favorite american black metal band, but to compare them and absu is apples and oranges.

[slikkar]

the best american black metal imo....from the sunny Texas....

[TheTreesAreDead]

TRUE TEXAN BLACK METAL :)

[RancorRimjob]

@TheTreesAreDead We do shit right!!!!.....once or twice.

[TheTreesAreDead]

@RancorRimjob Dude, hell yeah! What part of Texas are you from? :)

[MorkaGraven]

@TheTreesAreDead I fail to see how that's a positive attribute.

[TheTreesAreDead]

@MorkaGraven It was a play on words of the commonly used "True Norwegion Black Metal". Plus, Texas>Every other state.

[InExfabi666]

well...i think european black metal rules in black metal...

best melodic death metal comes from sweden, best "old school" Thrash and Death metal might come from america..but there are some really good thrash and death metal ands from germany two...well...i guess i could go on like this, but that could take a while..so i just say..: This is some great Black Metal.

and by the way i am verry proud to be european, i am not a nazi or shit like that, but i just think europe is fucking awsome!

[judfish]

@InExfabi666 

[patiomkin2001]

77777 Views. Yay!

[29dave]

That drummer is awesome

[sensaiyoshi]

@29dave haha wanna hear something else...THE DRUMMER IS ALSO THE SINGER!!!! AHAHAH you should see them perform live!

[armaggedoom]

the origin was parabellum from colombia jajaja

[slayerdeathchild]

good black metal for American's

[judfish]

venom are from england,they started black metal,,absu are cool,,but they cant beat european black metal,american death metal rules though,,its the best

[JTCardell]

Quite possibly the best Black Metal band ever.

[SlayerHollow999]

Amazing band, but lead vocalist lulz

[SlayerHollow999]

Amazing band, but lead singer lulz.

[kinhotri]

I just found a good black metal to listen!

[Gorgunsun]

I'm good with the musicianship here........ but the video is simply ridiculous...... face paint and stuff, it's just silly. Cannibal Corpse doesn't need masks for their performance. I'm sure I'll get blasted for this one...........

[lildrummerninja]

@Gorgunsun

Black Metal usually has Corpse Paint. I don't know what's up with that silver-ish paint though. :s

[ihmemies2]

I hope this is parody? :D

[valtiel87]

I love this video and the way it was shot.

[kansukeck]

drummer looks kinda stupid :D

[kbow1981]

Yanks have always done good black metal

[pavelmikhalchukvideo]

Energia i Moc

[SintheticMegy]

I like the guitars but they sound more like death metal. The only thing that makes it black metal is the weak voice XD

[Cuppycake04]

@SintheticMegy Do they? News to me. And that isn't a weak voice at all, it's better than a lot of shit floating out there.

[NogiLurtik]

@SintheticMegy This sounds nothing like death metal. lol Sounds thrashy as hell alongside black metal. Sick of retards commenting these videos. |:

[SintheticMegy]

@NogiLurtik I'm no retard but that's my opinion :]

[Cuppycake04]

Vocals are perfect.

[Snevazaiski]

Great song

[UlverBr]

Killer riffs! In the eyes of Ioldanach, one of their best albums.

[sea23lion]

This is fucking better than Dimmu Boring shit! hail ABSU

[michaelloudin]

@sea23lion dude anything is better than Dimmu Boring ;), thats why there name is Dimmu Boring hahaha

[fritterandwaste]

needs a lion, a scarecrow, a little dog, and a girl with a really short skirt

[kaziklu79]

Good band, dumb video. Don't these guys know the rule - for a black metal video you need a FOREST! ;)

[nnex2]

@kaziklu79 Fuck off your stereotypical Black Metal! All you need is Death and HATE! and Absu has it... Hail ABSU!!!

[kaziklu79]

@nnex2 Hmm, can't understand whether you curse me or the Black Metal., but in both cases don't give a shit. "Hate" - what a subhuman like you knows of hate ....

[nnex2]

@kaziklu79 "Good band, dumb video. Don't these guys know the rule - for a black metal video you need a FOREST! ;)" isnt this your VERY idiotic comment?? Just for that noob...

[Haloman777]

lol these guys are fucking insane

[fabri81matto]

grandi proprio!!

[Metaller108]

Although I'm more for norwegian or swedish black metal, I have to admit that this is great

[TheRMM82]

THE best American black metal band....period.

[Blutstrupfs]

@TheRMM82 This is a Finnish band not American

[abcweapons1]

@Blutstrupfs absu is from texas dude. not finland

[TheRMM82]

@Blutstrupfs abcweapons1 is right, Absu is from Plano, Texas. My buddy has met Proscriptor.

[NogiLurtik]

@Blutstrupfs They're from texas man. |:

[ngfhghdfhbfghghgfhjg]

So am I

[angelizer999]

Absu es de lo mejor, es banda de cultu para el oyente de gusto refinado, como yo jejeje, es mi banda de black

[mikroHAUSstudio]

Is he 'Destro' from Gi-Joe? XD!

[harrymanbach]

@mikroHAUSstudio looks like him but sounds like Cobra Commander!

[mikroHAUSstudio]

@harrymanbach  Great! :D

[GorgonSerpent]

I am Manannan!

[GRIMFUCK]

Good Song, Fucked Up Video.

[RoomTroll]

ABSUUUU

[matius53]

That sounds like a hyena with its nuts in a blender and a cactus in its ass.

[manifestoHC]

funniest ridiculest video ever!!! Excellent!

[xfernydrummerX]

i agree!!!!!!!!!! ha

[FoodNinjaProductions]

I am Manannan, here the thunder roll!

[AxlenB]

This song from Tara?

[Psycroptopsy]

This version is from the In The Eyes of Ioldanach EP but it was rerecorded for Tara aswell.

[davidcouzens]

@AxlenB is fucking says

[Vintersemestre00]

This song is on Tara, but this version of it is from In the Eyes of Ioldanach. The Tara version is seemingly faster, has the signature Tara production, and some things like the guitar are a bit different.

[sensaiyoshi]

Lol

there we gooo

i thought i was the only one, and i was afraid my ears were fucked LOL

[miketbf]

Wasn't sure yanks could do good black metal. Clearly, i'm wrong.

[daburto9876]

@miketbf I would hardly call Texans Yanks,

[EarwigEarl]

@miketbf See: Profanatica

[miketbf]

Good song, just wierd video. It's just funny :P

[AndJustyForAll]

I had the chance to see them in 2009. Great musicians! Fucking Sir Proscriptor McGovern kicks ass. Texas Black Thrash!!!!!!!!!! Now I have to feed AONBHARR!!!!!!!!

[GrumpyMcBowel]

Proscriptor is a beast.

[MrScorn]

KUTULU, ABSU! KUTULU NAR MATTARU!

[Ponnybit]

u know what i love? the new kids blowjobing absus new album and playing the drums and crap like their good.. id really love to see someone cover songs from Tara

Absu is unique

[sensaiyoshi]

are u saying that their are covers of their new album on youtube?

[barifkin31]

Does the 'singing' not seem cheesy to any of you? This would be alright if it wasn't for this idiot whisper screaming over the chords and the bass drums. What can it possibly add to the music?

[bill01234]

The music is good, but I can't say I'm a fan of the singing. I've never understood the appeal of that type of singing. It distracts me from the music.

[TheHeavy666Metal]

Badass American PAGAN/BLACK Metal!!!

[sensaiyoshi]

The hole reasoning behind metal and especially the death and black genre is the uniqueness. One reason behind growling is to show the emotion going through the song either it be anger or pain. Shreiks/squeel and i dunnno how to describe absu is using a type of sound that society rejects and to create music out of it :)!!!

[863jose]

@sensaiyoshi dude music is music no need for the scientific shit :P

lol

[sensaiyoshi]

@863jose lolololl :)!!

[Ollathir]

why argue just listen to the drums on this song and jack off

[scarletwoman1980]

As Dante begins his Inferno, but Id say it in latin: Omnes Spes Relinquite, Vos Incedentes! where? In the new free Goth Community AncientPleasure (just google it) See you there, Scarlet

[MontajesQ3]

Venom and a little bit after them, Hellhammer / Celtic Frost. That´s the origin.

[jollytorax]

Bathory aswell. They were a huge influence on the norwegian scene.

[spikevalentine13]

@MontajesQ3 Check out Die Kreuzen, an american hardcore punk outfit from Milwakee in the early 80's that sounded more blackish than Venom in their earlier years.

[mmurrer]

I laughed hard

[michaelloudin]

your just hilarious Immortal isnt even fast......

ABSU is one of the fastest ive heard of

and if anyone did black metal the best it would be

Kult Ov Azazel

[BloodeatingDespot]

Immortal isn't fast? You haven't heard the CDs Pure Holocaust or Battles in the North. And the best black metal band is Taake.

[klootzakisme]

@BloodeatingDespot

the best black is Taake!

[xWalleRx]

yes seriously black metal is sweedish satanic metal.

[TorturedShallowGrave]

Dude you don't know what black metal is. Googling isn't going to do anything. Black Metal can be about many different things including Anti-Christianity, paganism, vikings, depression, etc. Only a small amount of black metal musicians consider themselves "satanists". In the case of Absu, their lyrics have a lot to do with Celtic Mythology and Occultism.

[xWalleRx]

Well i might say the same to you...satanism isnt what all you ignorant people think it is, it isnt a religion that worships satan, its the act of not having a religion or refusing to take part in your own because you find it wrong or dumb. & i didnt google it, im not that lazy, i actually research.. Watch "Metal, a headbangers journey" And youl learn that black metal strted in sweedan by anti-religionists, rmember all those church burnings in the 80's? Black metal :) Theres articles to prove it.

[TorturedShallowGrave]

Well, I was actually replying to loyaltytono, so no, I was not saying that you googled anything. And whatever your definition of satanism is, most black metal musicians don't consider themselves satanists. I myself don't believe in a "higher power", whether you want to call that satanism or atheism is up to you, but "satan" is a Christian idea that I don't want to be part of. And yes, I've watched that doc...

[xWalleRx]

Ah ok, my bad. but yea thats my point that satanism doesnt believe in anything, and most people take "satan" from that and assume it means devil worshiper. But yea my bad for barking at you. Stay Metal.

[infernaltyrant]

There is more than one kind of satanism. There is LeVayan Satanism, Theistic Satanism and Anti-Cosmic Satanism. There probably is a few other kinds too, but not that I'm aware of.

[xWalleRx]

Yea idk abt all tht lol. im just familiar with the kind i read a documentary on.

[yomomasstr]

but there is also the black metal bands that are SLOW as fuck and decide to call themselves black metal....

[n8isw8is]

that documentary is largely inaccurate do MORE research on band websites and things you'll see what i mean.... black metal's beggining by me and many others is marked by the release of venom's "black metal" album... i know what im saying is irrelevant to the video but i thought this would be good for you to know

[xWalleRx]

I wasnt even aware venom was considered black metal :o they toured with devildriver so i didnt thing they were even closely related with black.

[n8isw8is]

very very "first wave" black metal... not like your common gorgoroth or mayhem which is all considered "second wave"

[xWalleRx]

Ahh i see i see. I dont listen to black metal often, but i do respect the hell out of mayhem. Their front man blew his head off with a shotgun and the band mates took pieces of his skull and make necklaces, thats pretty sick.

[thisiswar7777]

thats nowadays, venom were the first band to relly have EVIL lyrics

[FutileExistence]

the singers poses... lol!!! Hail Absu!!!

[TheWinterburner]

I agree, but that being not anyhow negative. He's an amazing singer! Proscriptor is an amazing drummer, too.

[Morax666666]

am I seriously the only one who finds this absolutely hillarious?

[LordLegy]

I agree but it's a great fucking song.

[TheRageAndGrace]

For some reason... They look like the Oompa Loompa's from Charlie and the Chocolate factory. But they aren't pussies :D

They are kickass ones.

[MetalForBlood666]

Nothing can stand a match againts those guys!

THIS IS THE REAL METAL!

[MaggotsNeverDie666]

well said!

[KILLPROJECT]

hail absu

[sixbeatsperminute]

overshit

[LordPlagus777]

the beginning looks like the simpsons halloween intro
