	Absurd (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Absurd is one of the best-known National-Socialist fl metal bands in Germany.
		In prison, Möbus was able to carry on with the band under the temporary name "In Ketten" (German for in chains), which, after the murder, became a cult band with Neo-Nazi groups.
		The band members were released on parole in 1998, because they had been under eighteen when they committed their crime.

	Absurd or Ridiculous? You Decide
		The phrase “bands with other” didn’t just stand alone; it was always followed by a creature type as in “bands with other Legends” or “bands with other Goblins.” (I know some of you just jumped out of your seats.
		In a change from the regular banding rules, a non-banding creature couldn’t join that band either -- normally one of the uncool kids could be invited into the clique.
		Banding would be more widespread, but most creatures who could band would only be able to do so with a small cluster of compadres.

	absurd \| \| Dictionary & Translation by Babylon
		Theatre of the Absurd is an artform utilizing the philosophy of Absurdism
		Het absurdisme is een filosofische stroming waarin wordt gesteld dat het leven in essentie geen betekenis heeft, het onmogelijk is rationeel te verklaren waarom er leven is en dat iedere poging om de essentie van het heelal te ontrafelen gedoemd is te mislukken.
		Volgens absurdisten is het menselijk lijden het resultaat van vergeefse pogingen door individuen om reden of betekenis in de absurde kloof van het bestaan te vinden.

	Music Exile - CD Reviews
		The only other band that thay can really be compared to is Project Pitchfork, but they still offer their own edge.
		The band has really improved their songwriting on this album offering extremely varied songs that contain creative electronic music and strong vocals with well written lyrics.
		So while the band hasn’t made any drastic changes, they have matured offering music with a lot more melody and drama while still retaining their trademark sound.

	Absurd Reviews at Lunar Hypnosis
		Of the bands in jail (although not Norwegian, but certainly Norwegian inspired), Absurd is a damn good one, with good and bad albums they know how to make unique rhythmic, atmospheric, and unique music.
		Perhaps because of the bands violent history or perhaps just because of musical talent, these guys are able to make a unique and enjoyable album, although not as straight forward or universally appealing as other mainstream bands like Carpathian Forest or Marduk (those fuckers).
		Since their formation in 1992, Absurd’s only real claim to fame is the original band member’s murder of a fellow school mate named Sandro Beyer in April 1993 (see Lords of Chaos book for more on that).

	ABSURD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In that period music material of the band was filled with trash-like stuff.
		The band tries to find the compromise between the first wave of Swedish Death Metal and modern Swedish Melodic Death.
		Now the band is now working on the new full-length album, which aimed to meet the audience in spring of the new millenium.

	The Absurd

	Mirkwood: ABSURD
		ABSURD would be of course ABSURD as well without the murder of Sandro Beyer, but surely people would have a different picture of the band.
		He is too afraid to play in ABSURD anymore, because ABSURD is the most notorious Black Metal band of whole Germany, and for sure the most hated.
		At an early stage of ABSURD I was kind of fascinated by the images of medieval devil worship, but I was never a devil worshipper either.

	Patto - "Sense of the Absurd" Liner Notes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		This is surprising as at this early stage it was clear that this was a band that paid little attention to cliched rock etiquette.
		The band threw themselves into this project, to the extent of designing the elaborate and now highly collectable Consequences-style sleeve, copies of which command in excess of £150.
		Apart from a brief reunion to perform a benefit gig for an ex-roadie who was shot and killed in Pakistan, the band that, to this day are regarded with such affection, were history.

	Absurd Minds
		Seeing them live certainly increased my enjoyment of the albums and the band in no way takes on the physical mimicry of their inspiration which is good.
		The band consisted of five guys, two on keyboards, one on percussion, one on bass, and the singer.
		The crowd seemed to really enjoy the band and knew many if not all the songs they played.

	The History of Rock Music. Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band: biography, discography, reviews, links
		The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band was one of the greatest groups in the history of British rock, despite the fact that they were essentially a cross between the music-hall of the 1950s and the theatre of the absurd.
		While scenographically they went back to the theatre of the absurd, to Dadaism and futurism, their songs were all parodies of musical styles of the past, with lyrics that sent up various aspects of British life.
		The Bonzo Band drew from every genre that came to hand, but in particular from everything that was "kitsch", from operetta to doo-wop vocal quartets, from TV commercials to old "78"s of the twenties, from Broadway musicals to swing, from rural folk music to military marches, from patriotic choruses to Merseybeat pop songs.

		At the beginning of 2001, we entered the studio to record the new album "Damn The Lie" which will be released here in Germany sometime in the next weeks.
		Many bands in the industrial scene have moved into areas of more noise/rhythmic noise or towards high electronic, such as trance elements.
		We say: Of course we love to be connected to this certain band and it's quite natural that no one can live without getting influences.

		After missing the opening act, grabbing a few drinks and settling in about fifteen feet from the stage, a loud, orchestral arrangement was played through the PA and the band slowly formed their positions on stage.
		Firstly, the sight of the band is as equally interesting as their sound.
		The show was simply a circus for the senses, complete with impressive individual musicianship, a dash of theatre of the absurd and a pinch of cultism to produce the spectacle that complimented the sound.

		Unlike other electronic bands, Fluke has a real guitarist, a vocalist and traditional song structures to their music.
		Atom Bomb and Absurd are harder edged, while some of the other tracks delve into ambient for their entire length.
		Opening tracks "Absurd" and "Atom Bomb" are fast-paced and aggressive, while tracks like "Bermuda" and "Kitten Moon" are much slower and with more "chill out" ambience than others.

	Absurd - German Black Metal/Hardcore Hybrid
		Review: In boxy rhythms with marching cadences and anthemic melodies, Absurd have made a fusion of fl metal and the oi hardcore punk, in doing so infusing a classicist sense of ancient melody into violent resound, matching their themes of epic loss and conflict.
		For Absurd's case a heavily Teutonic flavor is retained: romanticism meets almost mechanistic functionalism, meaning that hypnotic rhythms come up against vastly dissonant and unresolved phrases which cycle through poetics of emptiness versus intention.
		Drums are a ticking machine churning at a throbbing pace with only the most basic structural divisions of song interrupting, pacing vocals alternating between a growled fl metal howl and a youthful clean vocal.

		I always thought that if chickens could smile, it would be cool, and since they can't, we never really know when they are happy.

	Applelinks.com: Absurd Notion - Get Over It Already
		Many of you remember them as the progressive rock band with the nineteen minute epics from the 70s.
		It wasn't even their biggest hit ever, "Owner of A Lonely Heart," that converted me, but the predominately acappella "Leave It." I'll argue to my dying day that 1983 ties 1958 for the best year in the history of music, and "Leave It" is part of the reason for that.
		I mean, if you're going to name an OS after a crappy one-hit wonder band of the 90s, why not go with Right Said Fred or Merril Bainbridge instead of those guys who sang "Barbie Girl." I mean, even Aquaman was kind of the one hit wonder of the Superfriends.

		In some of these tracks PD is shown as a typical Neue Deutsche Welle band: finding their own form within rock music based on punk and new wave but in a more alternative form and as always with German lyrics.
		At times they sound like a very free form improv band and at other times a more rock version of the early Der Plan, but without so much of humour involved in Der Plan.
		This is sonic catering bands definitive live document, minus the food of course.

	Patto - "Sense of the Absurd" Press Release (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Assuming this to be correct -which is more than likely - the source material almost certainly comprised two then already 10 year old recordings by UK band Patto.
		For three years they took this surreal circus round the clubs and pubs of Great Britain, embarked on several European sorties and even managed a US tour supporting Joe Cocker.
		Ollie had joined Jon Hiseman’s Tempest and then Kevin Ayers’ backing band where he stayed, on and off, for an incredible 18 years until his own tragic death in 1992 following yet another low-key European tour.

		But for their latest long player, the pop-lovin' punks have created bitchin' bittersweet tunes that belong on the radio sandwiched between Green Day and the latest giddy ska band.
		Plagued by ever-changing drummers exploding in the Spinal Tap tradition, the partnership of guitarist Jon Ginoli and bassist Chris Freeman has finally evolved into the four-piece that Pansy Division needs to be.
		Despite Albini's involvement, the immediacy of the songwriting and the depth of the performances prove that the achievement is primarily the Pansies'.

	Applelinks.com: Absurd Notion - Game On Eileen
		A little known fact is that, musically, the 80s began in 1982 and ended in 1985...maybe a little way in 1986 depending upon the band.
		Perhaps I'm wrong in my belief that learning to play an instrument, forming a band, writing a really great song, recording it, shopping it to record labels, signing a contract, re-recording it, promoting it, and getting it on the radio, even just once, is a fairly difficult thing to do.
		However, its producer/designer/programmer, David Dunham, has gone on to a join a "new band," GameHouse, who's hits he brings to Mac OS X. GameHouse's games aren't nearly as innovative as was King of Dragon Pass, but they have nice beats and you can dance to them.
