Anybody pick this up yet???

will this one play on a computer?

^^^^^^that was me

There is a double digi and a double vinyl out now. What, you got a CD that doesn't play in your computer or something??

seriously? do they make those??

Picked it up a few weeks ago. Fucking badass. Although it's a bit weird to have those few death metal songs amidst all the old-school-black-metal stuff. But that's Absu for you, I guess.

BornSoVile said:

no.

I got it a couple of weeks ago, it rules.

They played in my hometown in 1995 with ENSLAVED, INCANTATION and DECEMBER WOLVES (1st show), one of the best shows ever.

please tell you have it recorded, please please.

SORRY

Can't wait to hear this.

AES

aw man, I finally got this, fucking great! I love Proscriptor on the live shit, especially at the beginning of the Winter Zephyr so fucking metal, "I WANNA SEE ONE FUCKING NECK IN THE JOINT SNAP TONIGHT, JUST ONE JUST ONE!" HAIL ABSU.

BornSoVile said:


ah...this is old news...but I'll finally answer


yeah, my copy of Tara doesn't play on computers

which sucks, because right now I don't have a regular CD player outside of my car, just the ol' computer and iPod...can't put tara in the iPod since it never gets to the computer though.

no way man, that's fuct. i lost my burn of Tara, but I still have the vinyl. Good to see you like Absu, fucking sick band, totally overlooked.

lovvve Absu...I need to pick up a cheap player so I can listen to it again.

It had some sort of digital coding on the CD to keep people from burning it...it was the European import...so I don't know if it's different from whatever you burned...but becasue of that it didn't work on computers...total pain in the ass.

what's your e-mail address I have Tara on my computer, I'll zip it up and use yousendit.com to fire it over to you.

then when you're done downloading it, put the yousendit link up here and let the wolves do battle over the remaining downloads

Absu is one of those bands that when you hear 5 min of them it makes you want to quit playing music cause you will never be as good as them

I feel the same way when I listen to Into Eternity, Rush, Necrophagist, Spawn of Possession, Decapitated and of course Absu (amongst the many)

left you a PM sir.

brian_dc said:

got it, it's sending to yousendit.com now. should be a few minutes. check your e-mail in like 15 minutes, and I'll shoot you a PM when you've got mail too

woo, thanks!

thanks, mark!

Absu is now owning my soul stereo, indeed!

this link is for the wolves! who wants Absu-Tara?

I've got, like, three of their records DLing on eMule at home, right now.

i downloaded 3 absu albums; those guys fuckin rock - "the sun of tiphareth" is my favorite. i've thought about buying "mythilogical...", but never bothered to pick it up

they rule

At least oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooone!!!!!!!!!!!!

never blow out the eastern candle

hahhaha, this album makes me smile, wicked.

Well, I sold this to a co-worker at Newbury Comics in Natick cause he's into Celtic Music, naturally I recommended Absu. Regardless, his whole thing buying an album, ripping it, then selling it back to the store. Sooooo, I was shocked to see this DOUBLE ALBUM on sale for $6.99! Stop by the Natick store if you want it!

is this album full of previously unreleased stuff? or is it new material?
