Finnish d**h metal band Absurdus was formed in Helsinki in late 1992, comprising singer/guitarist Aki Martinkauppi, guitarists Juha Moilanen and Vicious Simila, ba**ist Taneli Nyholm and drummer Matti Roiha. Recording their first demo Under the Never Setting Sun the following year, Absurdus issued another demo, Flames, in 1994; finally landing at Candlelight Records, they resurfaced in 1998 with the full-length No Heaven in Sight. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
