Leon Tarantino - Into the Absurd (Full Album)

“Man stands face to face with the irrational. He feels within him his longing for happiness and for reason. The absurd is born of this confrontation between the human need and the unreasonable silence of the world.”-Albert Camus,The Myth Of Sisyphus (1942)

"There seems to be an inborn drive in all human beings not to live in a steady emotional state, which would suggest that such a state is not tolerable to most people. Why else would someone succumb to the attractions of romantic love more than once? Didn’t they learn their lesson the first time or the tenth time or the twentieth time? And it’s the same old lesson: everything in this life—I repeat, everything—is more trouble than it’s worth. And simply being alive is the basic trouble."-Thomas Ligotti

“The world is indeed comic, but the joke is on mankind.”-H.P. Lovecraft, The Defence Remains Open!

I was not a big fan of the direction the original version of Into The Absurd took so I made an instrumental version of the album with some slight modifications.
