Review:
Another Thrash infused Black Metal masterpiece by Absu? Go figure. 8 years after the release of the amazing Tara we finally get a fresh new full length in the shape of their new self titled album. An expertly crafted landscape of straightforward pummeling thrash riff-age that no fan of truly epic black metal should go with out hearing. I dare you to hold your head still while listening to it. While I don't really have any major gripes with the production on "Tara" (their last masterpiece), the improvement on this album definitely helps each new song reach out and hold your attention from whatever it is you're supposed to be doing at the moment. This is Absu at their finest and if "Mythological Occult Metal" sounds like it might be your thing then give this spin. You won't be disappointed. My favorite tracks so far include the opening track "Between the Absu and Fridu of Erech", "Amy", "Those of the void will re-enter", and "Sceptre command".
