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).

Wartend in Einsamkeit
Absurd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When does the loneliness end?
I am awaiting death in darkness, for I'm alone
In solitude, I want my life's end
Where are you, my wife
To see my blood running out of me?
Where are you to feel my final breath?
For I am just pain for you
Hate me and cover me with death
I would rather be with you
Be a father to my son
The same black blood does run in our veins
Liebe und Glaube und Hoffnung und Dunkelheit
Luzifer, oh bringe mir dein Licht!
Mich friert, ich bin einsam, sehne mich nach meinem Weib
Tod, warum ereilst du mich denn nicht?
[Translation of the German Part:]
Love and faith and hope and darkness
Lucifer, oh bring me your light!
I'm cold, I'm alone and I languish for my wife
Death, why don't you come and take me?
The song "Wartend in Einsamkeit" by Absurd is a lamentation about the pain and emptiness that comes with loneliness. The lyrics are an expression of the artist's longing for death and a release from the agony of solitude. The opening lines, "Solitude, when does the loneliness end?" establishes the theme of the song and highlights the artist's desire to find a way out of his despair. The song then progresses into a plea for his wife, the only person who holds any significance in his life. He wants her to be present as he takes his last breath, to feel his love, and also his hate. The lyrics paint a picture of a life that is bitter and painful, and the artist begs for the release of death.
The lyrics are powerful and haunting in their portrayal of the inevitability of death, and the futility of life. The lines "I would rather be with you, be a father to my son, the same black blood does run in our veins" evoke a sense of longing for a life that could have been, a reminder that every moment lost in solitude is a moment that can never be regained. The song's final lines, "Lucifer, oh bring me your light! I'm cold, I'm alone and I languish for my wife. Death, why don't you come and take me?" show the artist's complete surrender to his fate, and his willingness to embrace whatever comes, even if it is the end.

Solitude
I am alone and the feeling of loneliness consumes me
When does the loneliness end?
I am longing for companionship to fill this void
I am awaiting death in darkness, for I'm alone
The only escape from this unbearable solitude is death
In solitude, I want my life's end
Only in isolation do I feel at peace with my impending death

As I take my last breath, I want you to be there to share this moment with me
Feel my love and hate me now
