[foreverhex]

Last time I had to buy this album 4 years ago (2nd time). I got it from a British record store that imported it from Russia. They are from Texas, whhaaaa?

[Njordwarrior]

By far one of the best bands that I have come across over the years. Musically, Lyrically, very inventive and creative.

"But is the king still sitting at his.... TAABBBLLLEEEE!!!!"

[smackythefirst]

just discovered these guys today. I fuckin love it! im impressed at how catchy it is

[jaylasen1]

ABSU is a legendary band!!!

from the U.S. of A.

They deserve more respect....

[popas7]

November 11, 2011 = 11-11-11= Brooklyn, New York, USA

[NerfWarrior1096]

it seems like this band isnt very well-known...shame -.- they sound awesome!

[Sekkingstad]

@NerfWarrior1096 It only proves what kind of music most people prefer.

Stay strong and keep listening to underground metal.

[NerfWarrior1096]

@Sekkingstad lol yeah i know but youre right most people prefer gay pop music anymore

[BobyGatez]

so thats why theres no drum cover for this song in youtube

[Sekkingstad]

@BobyGatez I actually slowed the double bass parts down to halft the speed.

I noticed that there are several beats in there that we cannot even hear, because it's so fast.

And at HALF the speed, it was as almost as fast as Nile.

[BobyGatez]

@Sekkingstad wow ,whos the drumer name? (im still a new fans xd)

[Sekkingstad]

@BobyGatez His name is Russley Givens, know by his artist name "Proscriptor McGovern".

He has done some drumming for Magus (pre-Absu), Judas Iscariot and Melechesh aswell (plus alot of other bands).

[CerebrumTranceStep]

@Sekkingstad George Kollias is still incredibly fast. But this guy is just on a whole other level.

[phiaaa94]

aaaaah ! :D My brother had wrote the comment :D

sorry for my bad english :D :o

[MrDodstink]

Absu is total extreme metal at its finest highest quality as musicwise as lyricswise...AVE ABSU!(since late ´93)

[phiaaa94]

ULTRA GAY!!!

[Sekkingstad]

@phiaaa94 Yes, you are! =)

[odysseasX]

@phiaaa94 For your information, gay is not actually an insult, because it's not bad. It's a gender choice. If you're calling someone gay, then you describe yourself as a racist. xD

[robinzhooded]

@odysseasX Your right except that being gay isn't a choice. Your born that way or your not, nuff said.

[IchigoTheFallen]

@robinzhooded You are not born gay, my friend. Just like you aren't born religious. Two of the worst things... Both choices xD

[robinzhooded]

@IchigoTheFallen Okay, why don't you start going out with men then if its a choice, I'm sure you would love it.

[madtownmadman]

@robinz One may be enticed by the tendacies of homosexuality. When those enticings are acted upon,that is the deciding factor. A CHOICE is clearly made. Everyone has their own free agency to decide between homosexuality and heterosexuality. Those who compromise their agency are those who have difficulty making such a decision.The CHOICE is always there A person can always change their mind about anything To say a person is born that way is like putting a shunt on the parameters of the human mind

[Sekkingstad]

@madtownmadman Have we really come to this?

A discussion about homosexuality on a Absu video?

Let's just draw the line there, shall we.

[robinzhooded]

@madtownmadman Why the hell would they do that though, I could go out with men if I wanted to but I wouldn't get any enjoyment out of it so why the hell would you expect a gay person to act straight.

[cristocannibal69]

@phiaaa94 and your mom

[Suurikurpa]

Nice playing on the drums. And cut the bullshit on the "He ain't got no triggers". You just can't hit every drum precisily as hard so that there wouldn't be any change in the sound or the force of the impact. He plays trigged drums and there's nothing wrong with that. The really fit in this kind of music. You have to play just as accurately and well playin' with triggers or without triggers. i really think that this dude is one of the best drummers in the metalscene.

[0371998]

Yah fuckin good

this band rock ! tight!

Epic atmospher

[sk8b0ard3r]

:51 dat double bass

[resuractor]

only good as a painting

[nargarothfreak]

the fast dubble bass is with delay

you can hear it he use it in the studio and on stage

so it is not real that fast drum but is very very good though!

Cheers!

[BYasrad]

@nargarothfreak it is real double bass its called heel toe you should look it up...

[fdp767]

2 low 4 me

[mgkpraesi]

Fucking great!

[Xxbucho1951xX]

@goreombola triggers dont make you faster you idiot they just amplify the sound of the beats you monumental idiot

[goreombola]

@Xxbucho1951xX Well thanks for clarifying that fuckwad. Had no idea but you don't need to be a monumental whinig bitch about it.

[UnholyWarcry]

@Xxbucho1951xX They do indirectly make you faster, that's what people use them for. They amplify the sound of the kick so you don't have to press the pedal as hard and can therefore use quicker, more gentle motions on it and still get an acceptable volume.

[Sekkingstad]

@UnholyWarcry That's correct. They are often used on concerts to make the sound loud and clear, instead of using mics aimed at the drums. (Or perhaps they use both)

[SchOrlEscHecK]

@UnholyWarcry triggers do NOT make you faster in any way!

[SweetnessDies]

Yes they do. they let u hit the kit much more lightly... therefore making u faster

[SchOrlEscHecK]

@SweetnessDies .... i hate discussing on youtube. dude , i am a drummer myself , i work with triggers for years! Please dont talk stupid stuff if you have NO clue about whats going on! If you have no foot technique for playing fast , triggers wont help a fuck! no matter if you can hit light or hard! triggers don't boost your speed nor do they boost anything around your playing! they are only (!!!) for matters of sound. just for example: having a e-guitar with an amp , thats the same principal...

[Sekkingstad]

@SchOrlEscHecK That's a good way of putting it, thank you.

So what do you think of this guy?

[SchOrlEscHecK]

@Sekkingstad which guy??

[Sekkingstad]

@SchOrlEscHecK The drummer

[SchOrlEscHecK]

@Sekkingstad hmm dunno. haven't seen any live clips yet. studio album is always editing and quantizing so...who knows if he can drum that live ;)

[Sekkingstad]

@SchOrlEscHecK There should be some live-recordings of them here on youtube, if you want to check them out.

They're pretty good.

[xxvomitronxx]

@SchOrlEscHecK I've seen him play quite a few times. He can, and does.

[evalram]

@SchOrlEscHecK No triggers on tara!

[TOOLAREFCKINCOOL]

@evalram really?! the fast double bass parts hit just as hard as the slower ones.

[MrArghhhh]

@evalram if you hear carefully, you'll notice he actually uses triggers.... and I don't know what's wrong with triggers they just improve the sound quality... proscriptor is one of the best drummers around there

[evalram]

@MrArghhhh ''I used compressors and limiters because I truly wanted the natural sound that you are referring to. By using these on the drums, I did not have to hit the kick or snare drum as hard as I would in rehearsal'' Proscriptor McGovern on the recording of Tara, Metal Maniacs Magazine sep 2002

[alliance666pwned]

Did you guys know that this band is a 3 piece? And the singer is the drummer also. True fact. :)

[Xxbucho1951xX]

not just the feet also the freakin hands woow

[Xxbucho1951xX]

my name is Jan Axel "HellHammer"Blomberg

[Xxbucho1951xX]

if you put your head for a second in the middle of that bass it would be crushed :S

[MrAlucard222]

Yes, really fast double bass... But, it's a short groove part, and it's more easy... There are a lot of drummers that can play that part even faster... But Proscriptor rule! Very good drummer...

[nordstorma]

He is not a Human!

[goreombola]

That double bass is just insane! How can a human being play that fast?

[Sekkingstad]

@goreombola Simple: Be reincarnated as a Celtic God.

[SniPrsGeTMoHeD]

@Sekkingstad Agreed rofl =D



[MrAlucard222]

@Sekkingstad Or your name must be Jan Axel "Hellhammer" Blomberg...

[DiabolicaConquest]

@Sekkingstad Simple, be Sir Proscriptor McGovern.

[MessengerOD]

@goreombola

Ever heard of triggers?

[weblink11265]

@MessengerOD Oddly enough, he doesn't use triggers.

[goreombola]

@MessengerOD Nope. Been living under a rock for the past few years.

[DiabolicaConquest]

@goreombola To add to your statement, how can a human being play that fast while handling vocals simultaneously?

[goreombola]

@DiabolicaConquest Good point.

[nargarothfreak]

@goreombola

delay!

Cheers!

[DreamyGhost1492]

Here's a fun fact for all of you new Absu Lovers. The drummer is also the one singing. His name is Proscriptor McGovern. He's incredibly talented and obviously knows how to kick the shit out of a bass drum.

Have fun kitties, and keep it METAL.

\\m//-_-\\m//

[mrdizo]

godly double kick

[ryder187mac]

I'M GONNA GRAB A SWORD

AND GO FUCKING KILL SOMEONE

[NogiLurtik]

Rock band Absu would be fucking epic. >D

[apxeli]

sii krais khai ööööö lei hei hei!!!

[warfighter67]

How does he play those double kicks so fast? Man this is very good stuff!

[detnyericket]

Another great song by this great band. I just recently found out about Absu but really love what I've heard thus so far. 

[TheJonTobey]

first time hearin these guys. im lovin the drums, dude has mad kicks.

[juggaloalexbowen]

jesus when i got to 1:01 i allmost shit myself talk bout double kicks man

[DreamyGhost1492]

Why haven't I heard of these guys???

It's like Skeletonwitch and Mastadon put together!!!

But with Flo Mounier on drums o.O....

This is a seriously malevolent creation and I LOVE IT!!!

[XNachoHarryX]

@DreamyGhost1492 you could'nt use more metalband names could you? :D

[DreamyGhost1492]

@XNachoHarryX Nope. Too much talent XD.

[fabri81matto]

i want guitar hero absu!!

[Sekkingstad]

@fabri81matto Guitar hero absu..

Imagine ROCK BAND absu! That drumkit would get killed.

[killu626]

@Sekkingstad hahah rockband absu? i am 15 and i play that stuff on drums, it aint easy. i agree with ya there ;)

[pujolma]

@Sekkingstad JAJajajajajajajajaja yeah!

[MrDanteaguilar]

@Sekkingstad either that or you'd die playing.

[muslithefish]

@Sekkingstad in all honesty neither rock band or guitar hero are precise enough for the insane tightness of proscriptors drumming to be fully appreciated :P

[melindor1]

zasto najbolja pesma nikad ne radi..kakav crni sad error ?

[SeedOfCannibalism]

the only good black metal that has come out of America.

[3dd656]

@SeedOfCannibalism lolollololol wannabe elitist faggot or someone who hasn't actually looked into much Black Metal?

[MMMAAAYYYHHHEEEMMM]

holy shit! the double bass is fucking ridiculous!

[mrdizo]

The guitar riff at 2:40 till then end is so awsome and then the drums come in to make it even better!

[SatanicBear]

You sir are an idiot

[Sekkingstad]

Nice to see you back on my Absu video/song again, sir gunner. You must really like this band. Don't get me wrong, I fully understand why. Have a nice day =)

[thrussianboy]

favorite absu album...favorite song on the album!!! ABSU FUCKING RULES!!!!

[horrorLucas]

i have all albums, ABSU is the best

[300man04]

where can i download this?

[Sekkingstad]

Cheap albums on Amazon and Ebay, sir.

Support the metal underground by buying the CD's ;-)

[300man04]

@Sekkingstad got this cd and its the fucking craziest darkest piece of shit ive ever bought!!!!

these guys kick assssssssssss

[theaxed]

@Sekkingstad artists receive almost nothing from amazon, they have a very totalitarian doctrine for paying back artists and authors. ebay sales also provide very little to the artist. at least amazon sales stats are tracked. used cds from ebay = $0 for the artist. if you really want to support, buy from the label directly online. ideally, go to a live show and buy merch/cds from the artist directly. i get my albums from a local shop, an almost extinct concept. skip 2 beers a month and buy a cd

[drubarrow]

@Sekkingstad

just make sure its from someone distributing metal underground stuff otherwise buying a used cd isn't supporting these artists by any means, they get nothing from it.

[DiabolicaConquest]

@300man04 Buy, or die as a poser.

[300man04]

@DiabolicaConquest i bought it.

it is teh shit

[oFRoZENViPER]

Amazing !!!

[jifanector1]

Where is this band from?

[NogiLurtik]

Texas USA <3

[zasdne111]

this band kicksass.

[mrdizo]

5/5 double bass, 4/5 guitar riffs, 3/5 singer

[Pieti222]

More like druums 10/5

[ytcio]

best among recently songs i listened

[ObscuraHessian]

Almost humbling in how sparingly the fastest kick-drumming patterns are used in this song and album in general. You know some new faggot band would rinse that speed to death for the hell of it.

[Incisionator]

@ObscuraHessian Agreed.

[BYasrad]

@ObscuraHessian it is real double bass its called heel toe you should probly look it up...

[ryder187mac]

@BYasrad Not necessarily, you can reach such speeds with any technique, heel toe or not. Heel toe is just the easy way.

[Superstrings]

best song on this album - poss best absu song in my opinion!

[oFRoZENViPER]

agreed

[thrussianboy]

INSANE drumming..amazing fucking band!!!!

[OverpowerSch]

BRUTAL DOUBLE BASS

[elzichco2]

fucking right
