The Metalocalypse TV show joked about a band having a greater GDP than some countries, but Absolute Deathification can actually lay claim to this. Hailed as the "greatest thing ever to come out of Liechtenstein", this death metal band has become the unofficial ambassadors of the tiny land-locked country of approximately 40,000.
The expected death and doom topics come up in Absolute's songs, but sometimes the band will throw their fans a curve with positive outlooks like re-embowelling rather than disembowelling, or 2008's "Rainbows and Puppy Dogs" release, which was inspired by the birth of vocalist Adrian Büeller's daughter. "Rainbows"may go down in history as quite possibly the happiest and most optimistic death metal album ever made.
When asked if they will ever consider getting into Liechtensteinian politics, the band is coy and diplomatic. One thing is for certain: they are all in agreement that one of their songs should replace the national anthem.
