its more like the other way around.Listen to tara by absu and tell me where i can find drumming that Dave's done that even comes close. Oh plus he is lead vocalist of the band also
Gnarly! I first found ABSU maybe seven or eight years ago, didn’t know the drummer was the singer too! Mad respect. He killed this audition too, in my opinion.

Awesome, the proscriptor!! A band I was with in Dallas, Tx. Called Big Iron played a show with Absu back around 2001. I used to see him at many local concerts around Dallas, a really great guy and really awesome musician. Great seeing him in this video. I always would say hello to him whenever I would see him and talk about Absu.
If Proscriptor really was rejected by Slayer then it was actually a good thing, because he's a god in Absu, the black metal drumming thay add along with the thrashy riffs in Absu is godlike and unique, I love both Slayer and Absu, but Absu wouldn't be the same without Proscriptor so, Hail Slayer and Absu!
His drumming is just the perfect blend of tight and chaotic, which is perfect for the material he puts out with Absu. He would have made money, but he would have been wasted in Slayer, who seem to get slower by the day. I love Slayer, but it's a good thing they're winding down now.
i love slayer too ,but absu's proscrioptor drumming skills are light years apart from slayer, lombardo is a freskin icon,but just listen to tara , the whole album and you can see that proscrptoris another level
yeah i think i heard he was pretty nervous about auditioning for them. it is slayer after all. and his role in absu is the vocalist and drummer so I think he is used to pushing the pace.
Man what a great performance from Proscriptor! I also like how effortlessly Kerry King plays these songs. He almost seems bored, especially during Raining Blood.
he does not want the people to know, what he is thinking about everything, he feels comfortable with the glasses on, isolation, like i-m playing with you, but we are no friends, buddy.
"Gasoline," was a short lived band with Vince and Darrell before Damageplan. Yes it is Vince's kit, there's some footage of "Gasoline," on here somewheres.
Whether Slayer or Lombardo are "the best ever" is a matter of opinion. I'm a huge fan of both of them, no doubt. But Proscriptor is also a well-known and very respected musician in the metal underground for nearly two decades, and has toured the world on his own merits. So I'm sorry but the "Wal-Mart" comment is out of line, man. Slayer clearly respected this guy enough to give him an audition, so perhaps you should be more respectful as well.
It seems like Kerry starts playing faster almost taunting him then he realizes he let the beast known as "Proscriptor" loose,this was a sight,thanks for posting,Absu true metal.
got to speak briefly with the bassist, ezezu, who became guest on a local radio station one night..this occurring right after requesting "from ancient times" by absu of course..a most unexpected surprise..
It's a fact if proscriptor would have gotten the job he would have pushed Slayer to another level. The question is if slayer was ready for that ?? Russ is just beyond on everything compared to slayer spiritually and musically and philosophical.
That’s funny, I saw those huge-ass toms and thought this guy must be a Vinnie Paul fan. It didn’t even cross my mind that he and Dimebag had a band called gasoline.
@Burntorangebadass Actually he moonlights as a producer for a few other black metal bands, including his own, and as a studio drummer for a bunch of bands, and a little band called Melechesh,
one reason he may not have made it is his tempo was not particularly steady on postmortem. He may be a great drummer in Absu but he rushed the skank beat parts sometimes and you could almost detect Kerry King looking irritated because of it.
Yup they do play these songs faster live. Obviously this guy is good, and what little adjustments he'd need to make he could easily make. My guess is the reason they passed on him is at this point in their career, slayer really aren't interested in having anyone on the kit they already don't know, they want basically vets they know personally. And I think that has more to do with Tom than anything. After Lombardo left and Bostaph replaced him (again) Kerry wanted Dette back there and said he got out voted and they went back with Bostaph knee injuries and all, which is not a good recipe considering most of Slayer's songs fly by at mach 10 but its what the band wanted *shrugs* Theoretically, if Slayer "were" to continue and found themselves replacing Paul (and they'd have to eventually) I'd see them trying to poach Gene from Testament, its an interesting hypothetical considering Gene is basically Dave Lombardo's godfather. But given their past choices and what they've done (They plucked Paul and Dette away from Testament, Tempesta might have got the call up too had he stayed in Testament and not bail to join Zombie.) Assuming Gene wouldn't stay in Testament, dude seems happy there so I think that seat is filled for now.
@ohrblut666 Believe me or not. In my village (in Serbia) lives drummer who can play Slayer stuff perfectly. He is beast, but he is totally unknown. Check band Toxic Trace from Serbia.
cause he can. just like fight club a Kerry king wearing sunglasses indoors shall not be talked about. The man's a legend and can wear sunglasses in doors at night with the lights turned off in a pitch black room with the walls and everything black.
@kpmorgan thats awsome you know him. and yeah thats what ive noticed ive talked to a lot of death metal and black metal musicians at shows and they are all just normal, friedly and even helpfull people. the drummer for Goatwhore (by band opend for them in detroit once.)he watched me warm up and play a few songs. then after he played we got to talked and he gave me some really good advice on how to do blast beats.
@@MorbidVisions310 Actually, THERE IS that one snippet part on one of the CHRIST ILLUSION songs (sorry don't know the song name) as it was right after Lombardo had rejoined the band in early to mid 2000s again. it was a time/era when Extreme METAL MUSIC/ Drumming was actually getting a fair amount of recognition finally, especially with the internet etc. And so? Lombardo just basically "had to throw a little blast beat section into one of the THEN newer SLAYER songs" to show he was hip OR whatever but... lol. Yeah, THERE IS the ONE song on Christ Illusion that does have a blastbeat in it... I'm MORE of the old school SLAYER fan ,(DIVINE INTERVENTION on back) as again, I cannot tell ya the name of the specific track. 🤘🔥🤘
Imagine a possible BAND audition and the only one appearing is....this guy, showing his back to you except for the beginning of Raining Blood, because he doesn't get the intro properly!

kerry wasn't ready to cross the sea of uruk.
Couldn't get across the north sea to Visnech.
Alessandro Mola good one
Jejeje yeahh
Haaaaaaa!!!!!!!
Alessandro Mola Hahaa no he was not
proscriptors like " do u want me to do vocals too" hahah
He would have done it much better than araya
"I'll dance in between songs"
Don't forget to write... 😆
The most amazing thing is that he is used to sing and play such insane drums at the same time!!!

I know. I love the fills he did during the verse in Reign In Blood.
I can hear Kerry's thoughts. "Fuck this fast shit,I don't wanna work this hard every night."
haha that's exactly what i said. They can't keep up with him.
Too extreme for Slayer, lol😅
Yeah Kerry kept glancing up at him like slow tf down
Phew, close call if you ask me. If Proscriptor had joined Slayer, the gates of hell would have opened, unsure if we really want that !
I'd become a Slayer fan if Proscriptor had joined the band. They're a whole new beast with him behind the drums.
*DFTR*
coolest job interview ever
Proscriptor is just one hell of a drummer. Heard many stories of this audition, it's good to watch/listen it at last.
Hails.
are you still alive?
Just not as good as Dave

Big respect to Slayer. But this audition Proscriptor shows that this is what the drum should be played. Hahaha. Hail Proscriptor, 666 Salute to you.
Gnarly! I first found ABSU maybe seven or eight years ago, didn’t know the drummer was the singer too! Mad respect. He killed this audition too, in my opinion.
Awesome. I will never listen to Postmortem again without remembering how Proscriptor completely killed it.
this dude is a sick drummer
But no lombardo

Proscriptor is the most talented guy in the room.
No doubt about that..
Absu never released a song worth listening to while SLAYER released several legendary albums, get it right.

But he dealt with it in a right way in posportem
Proscriptor IS Absu, so there wouldn't even be Absu anymore.
Ab......who?
That drum is from Vinnie Paul and his project "Gasoline"
Slayer are my 80s heroes but this guy is just too good for them... SO impressing! DDDamn!
Thankfully he didn't wear an Affliction t-shirt or Kerry would've hired him on the spot.
Or Slayer merch. Seemingly the only clothing Kerry King has to wear on stage are his own band’s shirts...well, those and leather pants.
yeah i think i heard he was pretty nervous about auditioning for them. it is slayer after all. and his role in absu is the vocalist and drummer so I think he is used to pushing the pace.
fuck SLAYER ! PIECE OF SHIT BAND !!!!!!!!!!!!
@@papacharlie5692 slayer rules unlike you who are nothing but garbage and a waste of a human being.
Awesome video, great drumming
Proscriptor is ridiculous!! Soooo good....I feel...kinda....tingly all over.
Wild! Great drummer!
Amazing! Proscriptor and Absu rules.
That drummer is amazing 🔥🔥🔥
That's because his drum parts in Absu are WAY faster and more complex. (well at least a bit faster)
Man what a great performance from Proscriptor! I also like how effortlessly Kerry King plays these songs. He almost seems bored, especially during Raining Blood.
I think King didn't give a shit about auditioning Proscriptor. He's such a tool!
When you play a song a thousand time that happens
My exact thought, as well-definitely looks bored.
It's like breathing for them after playing them so many times
They're his own songs. Do you not play guitar or write your own music? Why wouldn't they be effortless to play for him to play his own songs??
Proscriptor is a mother loving beast behind the kit. Thanks for uploading this gem.
Kerry King is like woah dude, wait for me!
Holy crap I can't believe I finally get to see this!
That guy tears the drums a new ass. Very solid
Slayer roams the abyss that Absu looks down on
😂 delusional AF
So much passion
he does not want the people to know, what he is thinking about everything, he feels comfortable with the glasses on, isolation, like i-m playing with you, but we are no friends, buddy.
The drumming tho , the sounds to i
His kit is perfect
Vinnie Paul's drum kit....
I noticed that as well
Rip
That snare says it all.
"Gasoline," was a short lived band with Vince and Darrell before Damageplan. Yes it is Vince's kit, there's some footage of "Gasoline," on here somewheres.
They didn't take him, coz they're to proud to admit that he's better than the rest of them !!!!!!
😂 Bostaph is king
If he was better than he would of got the job, but he didn’t they hired lombardo which was the right choice
That was aaaamazing...

Fucking great job bro just discovered Absu and its some great shit
love slayer yah
PROSCRIPTOR OWNS IT, SLAYER FEAR WAS PROSCRIPTOR HEAD THE BAND !!!!!!!!!
I've been waiting to see these vids for a while.. as expected Proscriptor fucking nails it.
So, is that Vinnie Pauls' kit? He and Dime briefly had a band called Gasoline.
yep that's vinnie's kit they had a brief stint with david allen coe
That’s funny, I saw those huge-ass toms and thought this guy must be a Vinnie Paul fan. It didn’t even cross my mind that he and Dimebag had a band called gasoline.

What a performance
Tons of Evil in the Drums 🤘😈💀
Fuck yeah! Excellent performance!
I like how Proscriptor always ends the song before King gets too carried away with his gay whammy bar drives
one reason he may not have made it is his tempo was not particularly steady on postmortem. He may be a great drummer in Absu but he rushed the skank beat parts sometimes and you could almost detect Kerry King looking irritated because of it.
