I know absolutely nothing about Black Metal band Absu except that when I first heard their brand new song ‘Hall of Masters’, which is featured as a part of the Adult Swim’s Singles Program, I nearly went deaf. Everything about the song is massive and unrelenting from the thundering drums to the devilishly devine vocals of frontman Russley Randell Givens. If you are prone to random flashes of anger I’m not quite sure I’d recommend this song for you as it just might send you over the edge.

This is the third season that the Adult Swim Singles Program has taken over the summer months and has offered us exclusive tracks from artists that you know and love and artists (like Absu, possibly) that you want to know about.
