Absurd is a band that's possibly best known for its non-musical reputation. During its formative years, when all the band's members were still in their teens, they strangled a 15-year-old with an electrical chord. This action put the band behind bars and even though the group was locked up they somehow still managed to make hardcore rock music. When the members of Absurd were released, they became somewhat of a sensation in the underground metal scene and were respected for their nihilistic approach and offsetting demeanor.
