Drunken wine drinking song of the month: ....of Celtic Fire, We Are Born/Terminus (...in the Eyes of Ioldánach): ABSU

ABSU - ....of Celtic Fire, We Are Born/Terminus (...in the Eyes of Ioldánach)



Holy Shit this song is amazing. As a drummer, this song is just all over the place. You have crazy jazz type fills just about everywhere, but don't get all weirded out cause this is pretty much as close to a Maiden style thrash/speed metal song as you can get.

A lot of people seem to be a bit divided on this album (Third Storm of Cythraul), but I think its fucking great. Sure its not the greatest production in the world, but it still has that attack reminiscent of the old greats like Morbid Angel (Alters of Madness), Kreator (Pleasure to Kill) etc.

Anyways the last part that transcends into an acoustic type feel with very strange (ahh not too strange) chanting vocals is really what gets me about this song. Gives me chills every fucking time. Much hails to Proscriptor for the amazing drumming on this song. I still go apeshit at even attempting to play this on drums.

Get drunk as shit on wine and hail the might ABSU!!!!!!
