Finnish industrial/black metal hybrid Absolute Key recently announced the release of its fifth album entitled The Third Level Of Decay via Signal Rex on the 21st of December. Absolute Key is another, magical work of Antti Klemi, vocalist/lyricist for the ever-singular Circle Of Ouroborus. While one could make faint comparisons here to Circle Of Ouroborus, Absolute Key is very much its own entity, and has proven as much over its feverish discography over the last three years.
Klemi explains about the new album: "The name of the album refers to a vision I had in a dream. There were three levels of death - the physical one, the spiritual one, and then the final death where even death is dissolved. No memories, no grieving, no other sides. Just nothing. The themes of death and decay are strong on this album in general, too. It's observing for example how death is present in our everyday life - it's oozing from the dark corners, from hidden angles and behind cellar doors. There is a poem by Finnish poet Eino Leino, where the main character is seeing death and demons everywhere and he wants to die, but even his dead ancestors are rejecting him. In the end, he gets his peace just by accepting these horrors around him. Some days are better and some worse, but he relies on those better ones. This is maybe the main message of The Third Level Of Decay."
Absolute Key is just as challenging musically as they are lyrically. Take this challenge and listen to the brand new track "A Hidden Angle" below. Link
