Yeah, "Tara" is a masterpiece... I really love the opening riffs on "Pillars Of Mercy", but the album generally rocks!

Yes, it's a really great album. The drumming is what stands out on that album for me. And like Ulvedal, I also think the opening riffs of Pillars of Mercy kick ass(as do all the riffs in that song).

I have only heard Tara but don't have it, I supposed to get it but then I didn't :s I only have The Third Storm of Cythrául which is also great.

I honestly view this album on par with ATG's "Slaughter of the Soul" and Slayer's "Reign in Blood" -- it's that good!
I was extremely prejudicial against Absu for many, many years and never gave their music a proper listen -- "Tara" completely changed that for me and I'm in the process, now, of acquiring their entire catalogue. Just got "Suns of Tipareth" (?) a few weeks ago and love it too . . .

Yes, they are very captivating. I haven't listened to anything but Absu since I got the album. I'm in a band of my own and we're pretty tight with our stuff but it's albums like this that honestly will make any band with any common knowledge of how much better and technical and ferocious bands like Absu are out there stop and rethink playing music at all..haha
Absu owns your soul. Them being local boys for me, I had the pleasure of seeing them play back in May, I think, w/Immortal here in Dallas. First live show in like 5 years, is what Proscriptor said. God they ruled.
