Absurd2 (Endtime
Productions) 2005
1. "Point of Insanity"
(5:19)
2. "In Hypnosis" (3:28)
3. "Wisdom" (4:08)
Wow! This is Believer worship of the
highest order. Absurd2 features David Husvik (Extol),
Christer Espevoll (ex-Extol), Magnus
Westgaard (Vardoger) and Ivar Nikolaisen (Silver). Together these
guys move away from the Death and Black metal of their main bands are put out
three songs of what can only be described as Believer
inspired thrash metal. Fans of bands like Believer,
Death, Cynic
and certainly Extol should eat this up.
The music is delivered with an almost punk energy, although the musicianship
is stellar. As well, the packaging here is quite nice, although I must confess
I am not overly fond of the minture album covers as sliding the CD in and out
of the sleeve tends to scratch up the CD. My only complaint here is that I wish
this EP would have featured at least one or two more tracks. Three songs just
are not enough.
