I practice my Rob Halford to this in an apartment building. My neighbors probably fantasize about strangling me to death cause of this song and Judas Priest Dreamer Deceiver lmao!
This is a concept album written about a sacred pagan site in Tara, County Meath, Ireland. 5 kilometres from where I was born grew up.. and I actually still live near it.! It's a very special magical place where I spent most of my childhood and now as an adult it's still the most important and special place in my life..

@@TerminalM193 that album is good IMO because it sounds way too much like Tara but what about their death metal era? Magus ruminations and absu temple of offal are fucking sick, top sheeeeeit for the hood if you ask me 🤘🏻👹🔥
@@sofoclesmefisto Completely agree! The only absu I couldn't really get into was their super early and demo stuff but that was primarily due to how it was recorded. Tara will always be one of my favorites but I love the vast majority of their work.
What exactly was done to the mix to change it out of curiosity? I am listening from my crappy cellphone and cant make out the difference. This is one of the great Black Thrash albums ever recorded and arguably the best Absu album.
Sounds alot deeper. The orig mix suffers a bit from the milleniumish sound which is a bit too typewrytery and brickwalled. This sounds nice and dynamic although I was used to the old mixx so these add a nice dimension for more and more re-listens!!
@@SITBoE very good. I always have to adjust my stereo settings and add a little more bottom end. I think I will buy this and give plenty of spins again. As if I needed an excuse!!!!!
I really want a remixed version of this album where the clicky snare/tom sound are turned way down more in the mix and the guitar and bass more up to the front..
@@РоманЕвгеньевич-э9ю It's a shame for the sound, because the album would have been great if the mixing was done correctly, I think this is definitely their best album if it was produced and mixed properly.
...comme ça attaque devant ! Y'a des batteurs qui jouent au fond du temps pour donner du groove et de la profondeur, là non, ça attaque direkkk au devant du temps pour mieux t'adresser ! Culte !
f@cking excellence! black metal in its finest-difficult to top-this made difficult to listen and enjoy the rest bands! but for sure the remix is horrible, I totally prefer the first press on vinyl
So much to love, such a masterpiece. She cries the-ah qui-et la-aa-aa-ke~!
Just ordered the vinyl today. Can't wait to hear my neighbours' opinions of this album. And probably the police's as well.
Hi, what do you think about it and which version did you get? Would love your thoughts on it 🤘🏼

@@NetherlordAxenrotcheers!
The best Absu album, awesome and a crazy drummer
Damn the whole album sounds like an epic drum solo 😂
Agreed! 🤘
Proscriptor is the Celtic god of drumming, even though he's from Texas
@@eduardodiaz9942 He was a Celt, reincarnated as a Texan
The drummer also is the vocalist.... He pulls off this amazing shit live too...
A to je právě úžasné! Ta baterie tech bicí a ty famózní kytary a vokal úplného děsu te srazí na kolena!pak už stačí seknout hlavu!super!
14:13 Snare drum masterpiece..
this whole album is a lesson in snare supremacy \m/

THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY TEENAGE IS BACK
Quite possibly the best metal album of all time.
Absolute cult precious metal ...
Still an untouchable masterpiece in my opinion
This album is for real OG Niggaz only.
Og nigga reporting for duty! Fuck the gaiboi guitarist that left the band and threw a fit like the faag he is
@@TerminalM193 well yes , fuck gay niggaz specially bands from Sweden BTW new Absu´s album kicks ass man ...
@@sofoclesmefisto Yea I love the newer album alot actually. Chaotic beginning to end! I wish dude kept the same band name though.

The best album ever!! You have to hear it to believe it exists!! Amazing! Killer!
Everything Absu Apsu do is pure magic✨🪄🤘💀
Most epic B.M album ever! 💪🍺
SO EPIC! SO CLASSIC!! THE BEST FUCKING BLACK METAL!!!
Já jsem odložen norskou scénou,ale toto dílo(mám pocit,ze s Ameriky), me nenechali chladným!
Un Chef-d'œuvre, ni plus ni moins. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
love that
To je euforie black metalu!at žije černý kov!
Masterpiece album
This remix is superb
Mi banda favorita.
I only listen to Absu for the bagpipes
technical possibilities are not available for other drums, so understand. there is only one Proscriptor...
Epic album
that cover looks like great promo poster for Tripple H and Shawn Michaels vs Undertaker match
lol

I think I hear a little bit more bass, it sounds much "warmer" than the old version. Anyway.......Killer Album!!!

Honestly I think it was specially remastered for vinyl priority. Digitally the original sounds way better.... Imo....
classick album
And why is it so damn hard to find any good drum cam footage of proscriptor mcgovern! PLease post link!
I really want a remixed version of this album where the clicky snare/tom sound are turned way down more in the mix and the guitar and bass more up to the front..
Because of such a crooked sound, I can't listen to it. I prefer The Third Storm...
@@РоманЕвгеньевич-э9ю It's a shame for the sound, because the album would have been great if the mixing was done correctly, I think this is definitely their best album if it was produced and mixed properly.
LOL don't have a drummer as your front man
maybe they'll do it for the 30th anniversary edition that's likely to happen unless we're all dead.

They could have remixed this a lot better
