First of all as Always thank you to Ab.est for giving me the Permission to write this Introduction.
Many groups that I know have achieved a certain status, but there are also some really great underground bands that deserve recognition. Personally, I am more of a symphonic, speed, or power metal listener, but sometimes I also explore other genres or sub-genres.
Line-Up is as Such
Patrick Siegmann (Bass)
Joscha Bauer (Guitars, Vocals)
Mochammad Rezy Diandra Putra (Drums) (2017-present)
On March 23, 2012, the trio entered the music world with their demo MMXII. This was the first step toward keeping some of their fans in there Space.

As always, we were able to ask our questions, which we are happy to include.
Ceyla: "Is there any band that inspires you the most? Or, if there isn’t such a band, where do you draw your inspiration from?"
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Ab.est: "Right from the start, our sound was unmistakably influenced by post-metal bands like Isis and Neurosis. This is especially noticeable on our demo and first LP, "Asylum," released in 2014 on This Charming Man Records. Through changing members, new influences emerged, especially in 2016/17. Today, our sound is more intricate, more technical, but also heavier. We draw influences from all the genres and bands we're currently listening to. Examples include Full Of Hell and Godflesh, which you can hear on our last album, "Molten Husk.""
We can only confirm that you can feel the break with his own style within the music. The homage is completely understandable. Of course, it's definitely a bit of a change for some veterans of the scene. However, pursuing your own style, with certain influences from the bands that inspired you to do so, is a good thing.
In 2013, Ab.est and Absolutist released a collaboration. Each contributed a song, and it was released on Swarm of Nails Records as a 7" vinyl. Only 300 copies were made. The split had the simple name Absolutist / Abest.

I did ask myself if I should ask this to every artist since not everybody has the desire to be on festivals or events, but nonetheless, I ask.
Ceyla: "Are there any festivals or events in Germany, or even worldwide, that you would like to attend? Some of them always offer opportunities to apply."
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Ab.est: " We're not the kind of band that applies to festivals to play. It would be cool to support a big international tour, of course. But since we're all busy with our jobs, it's hard to tour for more than three or four days. So we're focusing more on playing individual shows in cool venues."
We can only agree, you don't necessarily have to go to big festivals even if they attract the most attention. Maybe one day we will be lucky and be able to welcome them to our region.
May 16, 2014, was a particularly celebrated day for their fans because it was the release of their debut album, Asylum. Still self-employed, with a full runtime of 40:12.

Of course, we always give artists and musicians the option to leave a message for the readers. These messages are always very heartwarming, even if you shouldn't mention them in metal. And yet, they are all absolutely lovely people.
Ceyla: "Is there anything you would like the readers of this blog to know about you and your music?"
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Ab.est: "Start bands, make music, write a blog or a fanzine, or organize concerts. Get involved in the scene; that's the only way to keep it alive."
With this, we had another Honor to write about a Awesome Band and we hope to fascinate so much more People to look into there Music.
All named artists, as well as festivals and the entire discography, are linked throughout the article!
