1) Absurd is a black metal / pagan metal band from Germany. It was founded in Sondershausen by Hendrik Möbus and Sebastian Schauseil the 2'nd of January 1992, with the third member Andreas Kirchner joining them later on. Ronald 'Wolf' Möbus, Sebastian 'DMD' Schauseil, and Hendrik 'JFN' Möbus decided to respond to the New Wave of Black Metal with a band of their own. The choice of the band's name is apocryphal and is open to multiple interpretations. It is thought correct to assume an interrelation between the band name and one of the pastimes of the band members at this time; watching poorly produced, though hilarious horror B-movies.
The trio who were as young as 16 and not older than 19 years old, managed to record a promo, "God's Death", in June 1992. Absurd frequented a rehearsal place in the communal youth centre, and soon Sebastian 'DMD' managed to stock the local YMCA with juvenile outbursts of 'Satanism' and 'Honor fantasies'. When Punk Rock bands, who also rehearsed in the youth centre, incited a conflict with Absurd to use communal property and equipment to further their NS and xenophobic views, the band retreated into a cabin located in dense forest outside their hometown. Meanwhile, Wolf assumed the role of manager and a new member to the band. In late 1992, Absurd recorded the 'Death From the Forest' demo, and the band was subsequently reduced to a duo consisting of Sebastian 'DMD' and Hendrik 'JFN'. The two recorded "God's Deathful Sadness" split demo in March 1993. Barely a month after, an adolescent strife between Sebastian 'DMD' and a fifteen-year old ended with the death of the youth. Sebastian 'DMD' and Hendrik 'JFN' were sent to youth detention center to serve a maximum of eight years respectively.
It was later suggested that this killing was inspired by the murders committed by Bård G. Eithun and Varg Vikernes in Norway. This is not true because neither Sebastian 'DMD' or Hendrik 'JFN' were aware of Bård G. Eithun's killing of a homosexual in Summer 1992 when they were involved in their own transgression on April 29th 1993. In fact, this crime was solved in the wake of Vikernes' arrest in August 1993 and only a handful of people in Scandinavia knew who had committed the crime. Before the police had arrested Bård G. Eithun in August 1993, Varg Vikerness had slain Øystein Arseth on August 10, 1993, which was about three months after Sebastian 'DMD' and Hendrik 'JFN' were brought into custody. Later on a picture of the slain boy's grave would be used as the cover of an Absurd demo.
The duo was not idle while behind bars. They recruited the third accomplice of their offence, Andreas K. to Absurd, and recorded the rehearsal "Out of the Dungeon" in April 1994. The band subsequently decided to prepare material for a full-length album. The youth detention centre kindly provided them with the instruments, equipment, and the facility for rehearsing and recording. During late 1994 and early 1995, Absurd begun the production of their first album entitled "Facta Lunquuntur". Unfortunately the band was forced to abort the recordings due to conditions suddenly worsening and resulted in the band splitting up for about three years. The recordings at hand were used for the "Thuringian Pagan Madness" EP in 1995, the "Facta Lunquuntur" CD/LP in 1996 and the "Totenburg" Split-EP with Heldentum in 1997.
During their detention Absurd matured ideologically as well as lyrically. While their earlier works largely reflected the impulse they received from music, movies, and the daily life of pubescent youngsters, the band eventually utilized their music and lyrics for the purpose of being themselves and influencing others. As young adult men, Sebastian 'DMD' and Hendrik 'JFN' developed a world view based on their Germanic ancestry, the Heathen values, and virtues of their elders and the National Socialist Third Reich.
The band members were released on parole in 1998 since they had been under eighteen when the crime was committed. Shortly after being released, Möbus violated the terms of his parole when he did the nazi salute at a concert he was attending. His parole was consequently revoked. He managed to flee to the USA and met with Dr. William Pierce, but was captured there. He was arrested by US marshals while carrying groceries back to his compound, shattering his elbow during the arrest. In 2001, after he had been denied asylum, he was sent back to prison to serve the remaining three years for murder, the mocking of his victim and for the nazi salute. He was sentenced to a further twenty-six months. On 15 May 2003 he was again sentenced to four years in prison.
Hendrik Möbus is presently still incarcerated and has concluded his participation in Absurd. Sebastian Schauseil is still involved with the underground metal-scene. He performed between 1999 and 2004 with the folk-influenced nationalistic band Halgadom, the black metal project Wolfsmond (also featuring bassplayer Unhold, who currently plays drums in Absurd), and the Neofolk band In Acht und Bann. He has currently distanced himself from National Socialism and politics in general, as evident in the current direction of Wolfsmond.
The band has gone have gone through many changes and lost all of the original members, with Wolf (Hendrik's brother) currently as the frontman and Sebastian Schausell performing the occasional vocal part on the newer releases such as Asgardsrei (1999), Werwolfthron (2001), Totenlieder (2003) and Blutgericht (2005).

Absurd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
stehe ich dem Sturme bevor
vorwärts die Schlachtreihen führen
Höllisch schmettert das Horn
Blutige Schlachtenfelder
d'rüber der Donnergroll
ich möchte ja so gerne noch kämpfen
aber der Wagen der rollt
aber der Wagen der rollt
Krieger sind in der Schenke
klären den Kessel im Flug
Schäumendes Gerstengetränke
Reicht uns der Wirt im Krug
an uns'rer Tür spitzeln Weiber
die nehmen wir heute noch ran
Ein jeder Mann wird uns stören
so gut er eben kann
Ein jeder Mann wirkt sein leben
so gut er eben kann
Trommelgewirsch und Fiedeln
dumpfes Baßgebrumm
Judas Volk im Reigen
tanzt um den Galgenmann herum
unter den Gehängten
Jauchzet und lachet und tollt
und wenn auch einzelne dort baumeln
sagt nicht, ihr hättet es nicht gewollt
und wenn auch einzelne dort baumeln
denkt an das ganze Blut und Gold
Holt mich auch die Valkyr'e
die in Valhalla erscheint
werde hier bei Walvater Wotan
und bei den Ahnen sein
sag ich euch doch besser Kameraden
die ihr noch nicht mitkommen wollt
Ich wäre ja so gerne noch geblieben
aber das Rad des Lebens rollt
Ich wäre ja so gerne noch geblieben
aber das Schicksal tat groll
The lyrics to Absurd's song "Hoch auf dem Panzerwagen" describe a fierce warrior standing atop a tank, ready to lead his troops into battle. The sound of horns echoes through the battlefield as the warrior longs to fight, but the tank keeps moving forward, rolling steadily towards its destination. The scene shifts to a tavern, where soldiers drink and celebrate, looking forward to the night's debauchery. Even the women spying on them from outside are not safe from the soldiers' lustful gaze. Then, the scene changes to a grisly dance around a gallows, where people revel in the death and despair of others. The final verse references Valhalla, as the warrior notes that he would have liked to stay longer, but the wheel of fate keeps turning.
The song's lyrics are filled with contrasting images of violence and celebration. The warrior stands ready to fight, but is confined to a tank, unable to engage in the bloodshed he longs for. The soldiers in the tavern indulge in joyous revelry, but their celebrations are tinged with a dark sense of malevolence towards anyone who seeks to impede their fun. Finally, the dance around the gallows underscores the song's theme of the inevitability of death, as even those who cheer on others' demise are ultimately powerless in the face of fate.
