really want to hear something lke
that you'd better watch some old

Magus Wampyr Daoloth: "I love
"Crossing the Fiery Pah"! OF course

ABSURD was
summoned in
January 1992 AB.
That is quite near
when the "big"
Black Metal trend
Started, so had that
anything to do with Absurd’s
forming and what was the actual
reason for Absurd? Hat your
thoughts changed much at these past
years?
SEN: "Oh yeah, ABSURD was
‘summoned on 2.1.92 Aano Bastard,
‘and ABSURD was buried more than 3
years later. Yeah you read it right,
"ABSURD rest in peace of darkness yet
PH explain it later in another answer,
Fight now ler's come back 10 your
‘question.
now that 1992, ABSURD were one
fof the first Black Metal Bends of
‘Germany, besides BAXAXAXA (stl
‘one of the best German B.M.bands
‘ever, aliough BAXAXAXA are cp.
since a long. time), UNGOD and
EMINENZ. Well and in the spring of
1993 AB, DAWNFALL appeared, to,
together with MARTYRIUM, but both
bands are worthless ep.
So you see, to the time of the
foundation of ABSURD, the big trend
‘was no theme, We formed ABSURD
shorly afer the "A Blaze in the
‘Northern Sky" appeared and rekindled
the sinister flame of Black Metal. We
