Absolutus are a Belgian band shattering the shelter of the unconscious since 2003. Their lyrical content deals primarily with nihilism, metaphysical journeys, eerie experiences and psychology, inspired by writers such as E.M. Cioran and F. Nietzsche.
Starting out as a traditional black metal entity, appearing out of the nothingness with "Ostendit quam nihil sumus", released in 2005 by Goatowarex (Lifelover, Nachtmysium, Mortifera, Urfaust, Austere, ...)
Their absolution shifted on the highly anticipated second album "Pugnare in iis quae obtinere non possis", towards a more aesthetical and experimental approach. This album is in every aspect a highly recommended and truly monumental journey showing much more diversity compared with the debut album, with morbid and violent atmosphere breathing through the complex songs and dark interludes.
