APSURD interview for Out of the Darkness #10 fanzine

 
you wasn't able to read some interview here for ages, right!?.. well I completely lost any will and enthusiasm for making them but I always like to read some here and there.. the other day I accidentally stumbled upon this one on Out Of The Darkness site with good hardcore punk band from Belgrade - Apsurd, which appeared somewhere around 2017/2018 with a bang out of nowhere hitting us with their interesting and pretty original, on one hand fresh and energetic sound but at the same time heavily influenced with darkness of primitive hardcore and punk from ex-yu area from 80s or early 90s period.. they dominated the whole region shortly after with numerous gigs and mini tours, they released two records, one on tape and second as collection of two EPs on one full length LP vinyl, both released on Zagreb based label Doomtown Records.. after this initial "hype" around them and right as they were supposed to conquer the whole Europe (they were already confirmed for the later canceled edition of K-Town Festival in 2020 and had invitation for USA tour, as well in their pockets) they kinda disappear and can be seen only on some local gig from time to time, pretty much as many other bands during these fcking covid era and infamous lockdown that hits us few years ago, so I found this interview as interesting reading and good reminder on them.. also with looking forward to hear some news from them in the nearest future.. 
interview was originally published in 10th issue of Out of the Darkness 'zine (March 2021) and is on Serbian, unfortunately for all of you which don't speak or understand it, but hey, if you're curious enough you can always try with some online translator..
 
   
Osećaj je mnogo dobar, kao što sam rekla odrastala sam uz kasete i ploče i napokon dočekala da imam ploču svog benda. Da, nažalost virus i ploča su stigli u isto vreme tako da je osećaj slatko-gorak jer sve što je trebalo da se desi sa izlaskom ploče je odloženo i sada smo, kao i cela planeta, u najgorem periodu neizvesnosti, da li će se stvari vratiti u normalu ili prisustvujemo velikoj promeni kada se “stari” život bukvalno čupa iz korena.
