really enjoy this too, sounds like Malevolent Creation + Dissection (when they were good).

I like it way better than “Tara”, but I’m probably in the minority.

I just couldn’t stand the drums being so loud on “Tara”, and the guitars mixed so low you couldn’t hear the riffs. Similar to Nile’s “Black Seeds of Vengence”, another almost great album ruined by the drums being the loudest thing on the album.

I think Absu have really struck on a good combination of black metal and thrash on this new album.

I really, really like this album. However I completely agree, great album, just not a great ABSU album.

I dig this. It’s just thrashy enough to keep me coming back. My only complaint is the length – chop about 20 minutes off and it would be perfect.

Hmmm, this is very interesting. I thought Tara was totally badass, my only complaint with these guys was the low mixes on all their releases. I will check this out immediately. Thanks again for the awesome review.
