Absu "The third storm of Cythraul" LP

Absu need absolutely no introduction by now. "The Third Storm of Cythraul" is a masterclass in blackened thrash chaos, where songwriting veers wildly between grandiose, myth-soaked epics (especially the crushing bookends of the album) and razor-edged Kreator-on-laudanum blitzkriegs. Tracks like “Swords and Leather” and “Highland Tyrant Attack” are straight-up modern thrash classics - feral, fast, and unforgettable. And in true Absu fashion, they pay homage to their roots with a searing cover of Morbid Scream’s self-titled track marking their second tribute to the Texan legends, following “The Coming of War” from "The Sun of Tiphareth". "The Third Storm of Cythraul" is a whirlwind of occult fury and precision that proves Absu still stand untouchable at the altar of extreme metal. Comes in nice gatefold cover.
