Cause of the "neutrality" of the name of the band they considered changing the name to a more suitable name closer to their thoughts and play style...Absolute Blackness was born!

THOUGHTS:
"If you dig crunchy chugging riffs, neck-snapping solos and immense groove then look no further than Greece three-piece Absolute Blackness. Combining an undying love for bone-jarring heaviness, the band shoves meat and potatoes metal right into your earhole. I am still trying to pin down who I think vocalist Giotis Kuimas sounds like. Maybe Rob Zombie meets Lee Dorian with a trembling vibrato. All I know is that it sounds pretty fucking cool. Doomy, southern-tinged sludge with mind-altering psychedelia. Three words pretty much sum it all up...Absolute Fucking Blackness!"
