Thursday, April 02, 2009: While it has been quite a long time since this website has been updated, Theater of the Absurd is still very much alive! We are currently in the process of writing material for a new album, and are in pre-production for recording some new material, which, we can definitely promise, is quite a progression from the material on our first release. We also have a VERY flattering review on the renowned Metal webzine MetalKult. If you would like to read this review, it's located at Metal Kult: Notes From the Underground. Check it out, and we will be posting more updates in due time.
Thursday, March 06, 2008: We are once again elated to announce that the debut LP is continuing to receive new and great sources of distribution. The LP is now available from the most popular web-based Metal and Progressive mail-order, The End Record's Omega Order! This is another great step forward in getting this LP out to the people! We are also excited to announce that we are in the works writing material for a new album! If any new details come up, we will be sure to post them here. One last note: If you still would like to purchase the LP directly from us, just drop an e-mail to TOTABand@Gmail.com and we will be more than happy to hook you up with it.
Friday, January 18, 2008: We are excited to announce that our debut LP is currently available from a growing number of sources! Two great distros, Hospital Productions, a store/distro from NYC featuring a wide variety of extreme music, and Rusty Axe Records, an online distro/record label with a growing number of releases and notable titles under their belt, now both stock the Theater of the Absurd LP! We are also in the midst of gaining more distribution and press for the band and the debut album. Of course, if you are interested, the debut LP can still be purchased directly from the band. Thanks!
Thursday, January 10, 2008: As you may already know, our debut album has been officially released since December 25th! If you would like to purchase the LP directly from the band, e-mail us at TOTABand@Gmail.com. We are selling the LP for a price of $11.00 + shipping and we will be accepting payment in the form of Money Order and Paypal (and perhaps well-concealed cash at the risk of the buyer, but this method is never preferred).
Monday, December 24, 2007: Welcome to the official Theater of the Absurd website! For the sake of a little bit of backstory, Theater of the Absurd formed in the year 2006 with the lone goal of making music that we would personally love to hear; in our case, that music happens to be Metal that blends a little bit of everything. In short, it can be said that we are an "avant-garde minded" Extreme Progressive Metal band.
The big news is that tomorrow, December 25, 2007, our debut album gets released! Being huge music fans and music collectors ourselves, it has been our dream to release something on vinyl for many years, and finally the dream has come through. Our debut album has been released through an upstart record label, Meiji Records; it is on 12" LP limited to 500 copies. We would love for you to jump on over to the Discography Page and get more info on our debut (including an entire song!).
