ABSU - The Sun Of Tiphareth CD

The Sun of Tiphareth is a great early album for Absu. Featuring some straight forward thrash/black metal songs done in a unique style as well as having some songs with great depth and diversity, changing speeds, styles, instruments (acoustic for example), and tempo/intensity. This album is sure to make a thrash or black metal fan head bang for it has some great aggressive riffs. The drums are always there to give a loud presence and lend aid to the main focus of the riffs, giving them power. This album doesn’t feature any delayed satisfaction through close listening. You won’t be amazed by technical speed, skill, or structure, that is what masturbation metal is for. This is thrash and black metal fused at their finest. For the head bangers and those who like good damn riff based thrash and black metal inspired by 80‘s bands like Venom and Sodom. Pussies need not apply. This album could have been a bit more aggressive and I felt that it failed to reach a few high points, like it was holding itself back.
