Formed at the end of 2002 in Strasbourg, France, Absurdity started out by playing straightforward death metal, influenced by old Sepultura, Carcass and Bolt Thrower, but have since headed towards a more hardcore-influenced industrial metal territory after the departure of vocalist Olive. With the addition of sample player ZnO, the band discovered their specific trademark sound. Absurdity's songs deal with the issues of the evil, social poverty and human misery, influenced by authors such as Albert Camus, Franz Kafka and even Andre Malraux.

"Decline Of The Human Condition", the band's debut demo was released in 2003. From that point, the metal community understood Absurdity's style, notable for their unique artwork in addition to their new-found musical identity. The band have also performed nearly 80 shows in France and all over Europe, playing with acts such as Gojira, Benediction, Benighted, Vader, Immolation, Suffocation, Rotting Christ and many more. Vitalizing live shows make them a promising reference for the future.

The group recorded the "Urban Strife" EP in SIR Studio in November of 2007, exposing their cold and mechanical sound with alternating violent death metal passages and neck-snapping hardcore mosh breakdowns, combined with mind-numbingly chaotic industrial sections. More line-up changes followed after the release of "Urban Strife", with the band now stable and ready to commit to recording new songs for a future release.

2009 saw the release of the follow-up to "Urban Strife", the "Industreatment" EP, which was extremely well received by the press and subsequently provided the band with an international level of credibility it had never before achieved.
