"Ahhh, Absu, for years I have been enlightened by thy truly inspirational and totally superior form of Metal. I am still recovering from the effects of Tara, which showcases one of the most technical and splendid drum performances ever. Proscriptor is a genius, what can I say? Here we have a 2-CD compilation featuring all the 7" EP released by the band, live songs, including the phenomenally outstanding "The Coming of War", 4 cover songs, unreleased rehearsal recordings...have I missed anything yet? This is a package designed for die-hards but always willing to recruit a few new souls along the way. The booklet comes with full linear notes and tons of pictures as well. All in all, you can never make a bad choice when purchasing an Absu product. I hope they release a new album sometime in the future, although at this moment their career seems to be in hiatus. We'll see."
