Thinking about them being in jail makes me wonder what Varg could have made if they allowed him to have his guitar. With him being lonely and isolated he probably could have made some absurd stuff, wheeze. Some good tunes, enjoy the later stuff a bit more but I still enjoy the early work.
It’s a shame the Absurd situation is now essentially a Batushka situation. Two incarnations of the band, with bad blood on both sides. I highly doubt lawyers will be getting involved however given that well, it’s absurd lol. Most excellent video dude!
Yeah... Wolf, Hendrik, and Unhold all have issues. There’s a new interview with Hendrik on here, damn thing is like 4 hours long but he talks about it in depth.
The tempo change from slow to fast in Des Wotans schwarzer Haufen is also related to the lyrics. The part plays with the possibility of losing the battle ("zieh'n doch geschlagen wir nach Haus'"). Only when they claim their grandchildren will duke it out more successful for them they regain their former tempo ("Die Enkel fechten's besser aus").
Well, the later stuff gets boring super fast. Lately, I can't stand all this hooray folk shit they have done. Old stuff crushes bones, new stuff is like ordering one more beer when you already had enough.
I'm a big fan of Asgardsrei, but I've only listened to the original mix once, so I never realized they actually changed some parts. For example the awesome beat at 7:07 doesn't exist on the remaster.
I laugh inside at any "self proclaimed " black metal fan who either doesn't like absurd or is uncomfortable with them. Like you said: essential. Fuck. Its foundational
I mean I've even known fairly left-wing grindcore people to bump "Gates of Heaven" on occasion. I'm looking at all the albums I own, and a pretty massive chunk probably never would've happened if not for Absurd.
I can't wait for the new album but based on what Hendrik has been saying on The Black Vault forums I doubt it's ever gonna get released, which is a shame
@Square Hammer77 JFN and Unhold both claim to own the band name and Unhold doesn't want the band to be associated with the NS ideology, so they've been feuding with each other for like 3 years. TL;DR it's the Batushka situation but for Absurd. The new album was supposed to come out earlier this year but Unhold hasn't released anything or given any updates as to when it will be released.
love early absurd, one of my favorite bands from germany( along with Grausamkeit) . what do you think of Bethlehem, could you also do a review of this band. especially their first three albums, Dark Metal, Dictus de Necare and Sardonischer Untergang im Zeichen Interreligiöser Darbietung.
They have chosen their band name because of the horror film with the same name. Kind regards from the dark forests of Germany where the Werwolf packs are still hunting down their prey 😅🤘🏻🤚🏻
Yeah Tzuyu's got one of those wacky landsknecht hats but it was kinda hard to fit the whole thing in the picture so I made it like Dahyun's hussar hat was in front.
Most of the music was still being written by DMD/Sebastian, but Wolf/Unhold era is great. Unhold was responsible for most of the music. Wolf just sings mostly. Unhold sings as well.
In my opinion i like the wolf era more than the Sebastian era. My favorite album by them is Blutgericht. I think the Sebastian era was okay. Well I think nowadays hendrik möbus is the vocalist
I honestly go back and forth. When I was younger, I was like only Facta Loquuntur and Asgardsrei are real, but nowadays, I listen to Fünfzehnjährige Krieg the most.
That release is also one of their best. I like their new volksmusik stuff and now Gelal necrosodomy is their guitarist so thats cool. But regarding all the japanese girls you have on the videos. What band are they and have you ever made an episode of them or will you? And will you ever make an episode on Meat shits Wish you the best!
Well in this thumbnail it's Tzuyu and Dahyun from Twice. Most of the time I use pictures of the girls from Twice (usually Jihyo specifically), but I've also used Yaorenmao who's got a dance channel on UA-cam and Enako who's a professional cosplayer and model. I've thought about covering Twice because I like them a lot, but I'd have to figure out how to go about doing it. I SORTA covered Meat Shits on the Infester episode but they probably deserve a closer look.
@@radiofreeinnsmouth1337 i am a die hard fan of meat shits. I have collected their stuff för about 2 years. They whould be pretty cool to have a episode on. They have changed their style many times. I actually like the Infester lineup the best. But thanks for all the episodes man. You can't often find youtube channels who makes videos about bands like absurd, arghoslent, grand belial's key, beherit, infester and stuff like that. Keep it up!
They just strangled him to death and the reason was that they (absurd guys and Sandro Beyer) went to same school and one of the band members had an affair with the teacher and Sandro was about to snich
@george johnstone yeah I know what you're talking about but I'm also brain-farting on the name. the one I was thinking of doing an episode on was gargoyle though
🙀RREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!’ Just kidding! 😂 yeah I like Absurd, but I’m not too crazy about them-it’s hard to find some of their albums, I only have “Weltenfeind”(3 way split cd) and “Wolfskrieger” (split cd). Glad you mentioned them 👍🏻
If you can find Facta Loquuntur or Asgardsrei you'll probably like them a lot, but yeah, they're a bit tricky to get. I can't even remember exactly how I got ahold of them, I think they just occasionally have copies on Hell's Headbangers or similar sources. I actually wasn't crazy about Weltenfeind either, I feel like Grand Belial's Key and Sigrblot were a lot better on that particular album.
@@radiofreeinnsmouth1337 thank you for replying back, after I saw your video I decided to take a chance so I looked up several metal distro sites-I found “Facta Loquuntur” , “Blutgericht” & “Totenleider”cd so I purchased it right away! . Yeah you’re right that 3 way split was ok. Also I want to ask you, do you like SPEAR OF LONGINUS? I love some of their stuff, but damn they are HARD TO FIND!!
Later Absurd is a hundred percent better imo, and people who don't agree need their ears rewired. Everything is better, production, riffs, variety of vocal styles etc.
Wait, did you skip from Asgardsrei to Totenlieder without mentioning Werwolfthron? I feel like that was Absurd's last GOOD album, or at least, it felt like the last album of, "this is weird but enjoyable.", whereas Totenlieder and onwards the technique and quality improved, but it all just became generic sounding RAC anthems.
Alright, guess l gotta be the snowflake then. Absurd would probably be one of my favorite bands if it wasn't for the murder thing, these guys are just bottom of the barrel scumbags. Also one of the main reasons that makes modern absurd kinda more acessable since none of the original members are left so it definately wins out for me. Feel free to call me a hypocrite. Also since you're so eager to look into the more sKeTcHy bands unlike most others would you also consider reviewing grausamkeit and the various bsod projects? I've always found that guy hillarious yet fascinating.
"Mechanical drumbeat" - that's just someone who can't play the drums. Also a curious machine who keeps losing the beat all the time... Back in the days it was easy to identify the nazi bands by the poor clunky drumming. There's no way around it, no matter the ideology, to be a decent drummer you need to let the body do it's thing - fall into a groove. Beginners can't do that as they still yet have to connect the dots, and nazis aren't allowed to. While that isn't necessarily true anymore for "NS" bands, Absurd have kept it oldschool that way. And it isn't really folk either, as that would be way more intricate. This is just a clumsy attempt at the renfair parody of folk, really basic and blöde. Let's not be marks for memeshit.
pls do Hate Forest

Ah shoot, I didn't know that. Is it like Henrik fighting Wolf or something? That'd be a shame

A Christmas miracle. Thanks my dude.
The band is named after an old Italian horror movie
Luckily I am watching it while it is still up
Now you got me paranoid, I mean I don't think there's anything bad in any of these but I'm setting up a bitchute just in case.
@@radiofreeinnsmouth1337 Bitchute banned the Nordic Resistance Movement channel, heed caution borther.
Don't forget Totenburg.
3 years later. Still up.
Still up!!
Always enjoyed later Absurd, the melodic guitar work really fits well with the folk elements. Shit I even enjoy some of the rerecorded songs.
Yeah I pulled out Der Fünfzehnjährige Krieg a while ago and I've been listening to it fairly consistently at the gym. Good stuff
All the later stuff is great, idk know why people are hating. Ein Jager Aus Walhall? Come on, that song’s amazing!
that's like the most aggressively happy black metal song of all time, I love it
Well, the later stuff gets boring super fast. Lately, I can't stand all this hooray folk shit they have done. Old stuff crushes bones, new stuff is like ordering one more beer when you already had enough.
Totenlieder is there opus
would be great to see one of these about OHTAR/SELBSTMORD. not so much info about these guys, but so criminally underrated. cheers!
Yeah I don't know much of anything about Selbstmord but I like Ohtar a lot
Just waiting for the Absurd/Litvrgy split EP...
I'm a big fan of Asgardsrei, but I've only listened to the original mix once, so I never realized they actually changed some parts. For example the awesome beat at 7:07 doesn't exist on the remaster.

wdym doesn’t like? do you not allowed opinions?
If you listen to Absurd and support jews and other non-whites you're a poser.

If you don't agree with the lyrics or aren't white you're a poser.
Yes one of my favorites thank you for your vids
Need to get an Absurd backpatch for my jacket so I can get stabbed and ascend to trve status
New EP with Gelal is great
Would love an eisenwinter and totale vernichtung episode...and then you could include their joint project: rostorchester
I love Totale Vernichtung, will have to check the other stuff out
Love absurd

Can’t get into the super happy triumphant material but a lot of their shit super sonically creative. Much more than most black metal bands.
@5:00 where you mention in ketten doesn’t that remind you of like joy division/new order?
Lmao the one girl has a Hussar hat. Absurd is very good.

That's Pesttanz off of Facta Loquuntur

Anyone know the opening riff from the video?
Great channel btw
Bro, please think about doing a telegram channel

Absured is great my 1st album by them was a split..i was like whos the old man singing in the background...lol
They just strangled him to death and the reason was that they (absurd guys and Sandro Beyer) went to same school and one of the band members had an affair with the teacher and Sandro was about to snich
What was that very first song?
I’m sorry to say that my like on this video changes it from the current 69 likes 😔

I'll do some obnoxious Japanese power/thrash next week to balance it out, don't worry

The clean vocals in the second iteration of Absurd are from Unhold, the project was just as much him as it was Wolf imo
Wow, you gotta work on your pronunciation of German terms - let alone the actual German band name -, mate. :*
Later Absurd is a hundred percent better imo, and people who don't agree need their ears rewired. Everything is better, production, riffs, variety of vocal styles etc.
It’s better on a technical level, but that was never the point of black metal.
@@basedretard9003"black metal shouldn't be technical" 💀 black metal can be whatever the fuck the artist wants it to be
It's absolutely better
Where can I find this interview you mentioned at 1:30 at?
It was in the Hendrik Möbus chapter in Lords of Chaos.
Wait, did you skip from Asgardsrei to Totenlieder without mentioning Werwolfthron? I feel like that was Absurd's last GOOD album, or at least, it felt like the last album of, "this is weird but enjoyable.", whereas Totenlieder and onwards the technique and quality improved, but it all just became generic sounding RAC anthems.
