(Absoulution)

A trend I’ve been noticing is the range of horror albums. Of course, you had your trademark Halloween records that fit the theme, but outside of that, there’s still a nice handful of projects that have that unique dark edge to them, and I gotta say I fuck with them heavily. And with that in mind, let’s get into this bloodthirsty mess that is the definition of 

ABSOLUTION 

This is the brand-new record by MC Absoulut Karnage and Producer Edd Bundy with a strong set of ten and the likes of 

-Fubar

-Hi-Q

-Jake Haw

-I.N.F

And with this range of talent holding down the feature forts, we have a record that is every bit as entertaining, impressive, surreal, and deadly as I expected it to be!

If we start from the production standpoint, it really hits home just how diverse and unique a beatmaker can be who can somehow add a range of different genres and influences and yet still keep the project cohesive and fluent! 

For example, we have that intro track ‘Out For Blood’ which sounds like a boosted horrorcore instrumental with those orchestral choir elements, what sounds like heavy-handed violin in the background, and such thudding drums that it almost comes out of the headphones alongside those intricate piano keys! 

It presents as the interlude of pain and terror 

but then to everyone’s surprise, we get to track two ‘No Fucks Left’ which has this tongue-in-cheek, acoustic feel to the song that is a complete hard left turn from the opener that it’s crazy!

You’ve got those acoustic guitar strings as well as those deadly drums that work in that two-step motion that is satire in every direction possible!

Then if we even look at the track right after that ‘Bad Angry Nuke’ we have this almost vampiric feel to the song! You’ve got those haunting organ keys, sharp violin, and once again terrifying drums that act as a skeleton for the track!

This is the kind of song I’d expect Count Dracula to pimp walk to when he leaves his castle! 

Every song has its own specific flavour and meaning, and yet all have a purpose and reason for existing in the track, and that’s something that isn’t easy to do, yet just like Ted, he’s going to bet on himself (even when everyone else is strongly against it) and will go down in history for it!

As far as Absolut goes, he’s given the chance to try and replicate the intense power and approach of the production, and to say he achieved the goal is the biggest understatement I could give!

Across this project, we hear him at his most chilling, completely void of emotion and empathy, as he murders the beat!

This man is so savage he doesn’t need to be Cletus Kassady to wreck havoc with his carnage symbiotes. Fight to be HIM, his verbal Venom Knull any other competitor in the game as he continues to Marvel and stunt on the rest of the game! 

When I was listening to this record, I was nothing short of addicted to the way this man utilised his wordplay, his fluent flow, his disturbing charisma, and his deep/in-depth lyricism that has such an aura that every word feels like a stack of bricks!

In so many occasions, you’ll listen to a horror-themed record and find they are just repeating the same corny, outdated, and cringe bars and performances (ICP, for example), but no, in this occasion, he’s actually bringing refreshing rhythm and personality to his bars that make them so addictive to hear!

As I mentioned above, he brings a small host of familiar names to the forefront to act as his click. Maybe they aren’t Shriek, Chthon, Knull, Maker, or Magneto, but they are from their own sinister 6 that got more on their minds than petty spiders!

These men have such a villainous chemistry that oozes throughout the whole record and quite any haters by showcasing dope and aggressive verses and sounds that will shake you to your core! 

They say there are only two absolutes in the world: 

-Death 

-Taxes

Well, now add -ABSOULUTION to the list because this victory is nothing but inevitable!
