It was in the year of 1997 and I, as cd customer of belgian distro Uncle Underground, bought tons of cds every month with this distro for my private collection and I well remember when I ordered a new release from young label named No Colours Records. In that era I didn´t knew Absurd but as I was very impressed with the first NC release, the mini album of Graveland "The Celtic Winter", thus I decided to get more of their releases. I remember I heard "Facta Lonquuntur" for countless times and since then, I became very interested by this band.
A few years later, when I was working with distro services, I ordered 10 copies of "Thuringian Pagan Madness" directly with Maciej Dabrowski´s (a.k.a. Capricornus) from label Capricornus Productions.
More than one decade later, HAMMER OF DAMNATION is proud to be a part in this legacy, bringing back this classic of True German Black Metal, one of the most important albuns from the true and glorious 90´s era!
This edition of "Facta Lonquuntur" features completely new layout and never before published statement written by The Horde Absurd in July, 2010.
Also features 7 bonus songs (!), some of them taken from a live concert of IN KETTEN (the camouflage for Absurd at that time) in the state prison of JVA Ichtershausen, in June 1995.
Without a shadow of doubt, "Facta Lonquuntur" expresses more than just music in this pathetic modern Black Metal scene and its far beyond the understanding of fetishists and internet warriors! This is an important chapter in the history of 90´s Black Metal. |
