ABSU - The Third Storm Of Cythrául CD

From two minute fillers to 8 minute epics, everything is just perfect here. I’m running out of words to describe how great this band really is. The longest track on the album, ...Of Celtic Fire, We Are Born - Terminus (...In the Eyes of Ioldanach), is easily the best and is able to bring back fine memories of when I first heard songs like Walk The Path Of Sorrow, Dark Medieval Times or A Fine Day To Die. Such vibrant and brilliant use of effects and side instruments to create atmosphere can be seen rarely. Acoustic guitar, keyboards, flutes, everything can be identified. The song epitomizes technical song construction and beautiful instrumental arrangements in a black metal record. It’s like musicians more talented than Rush or Dream Theater came together and created a black metal band.
