It seems ages since Jake (I believe) requested this here Absinthe 7". All these months with peeled back eyelids paid off, and tonight I offer rips of one incredible record! Absinthe was a band forged from the same blazing furnace as Unruh, Wellington, Jeremin, Suicide Nation, etc., and fashioned themselves as a similar metallic implement, albeit one with a bit more groove from the rhythm section. They manage to be alternately rough, tight, chaotic, gritty, clean, and unabashedly modern, but without seeming the slightest bit contrived. Really impressive!The band also produced a follow-up 10" which I went ahead and included in the folder...
Absinthe (7" & 10")

great post - I've been looking for a quality rip of the ep for years. I can't seem to get the rar to expand without errors?
These things happen; thanks for letting me know. I recompressed, re-upped and tested it... seems okay now.
Singer from Groundwork, right?
glad to see you back.
Yes indeedy! Brenden Desmet...
Hey Stew, it's good to be back and nice to see you here!
Thank you so much for posting these recordings. I haven't heard them since the 10 inch came out. Me and my friend used to sit in his basement and try to figure out how they got those guitar tones!
He, he. I know what you mean... that guitar sound is some twisted alchemy! You're most welcome for the rips; enjoy!
welcome back! great job once again. this band reminds me of swing kids a bit, which is definitely a good thing in my book!

Hey thanks Roman, good to see you here. Yes, there's certainly a San Diego thing going on with all the instruments, but the heaviness is pure Arizona!
Thanks Dude! I totally forgot about the request. I saw these guys once in PHX back in 96' I think the show was deystopia, skaven, absinthe, and unruh.
Hey Jake, I'm amazed to find you still around here! It took forever to find a copy of this thing, but it was totally worth it!
