Absolut Vodka

Absolut Vodka is a brand of vodka, produced near Åhus, in southern Sweden. Absolut is owned by French group Pernod Ricard; they bought Absolut for €5.63 billion in 2008 from the Swedish state.

Absolut is the third largest brand of alcoholic spirits in the world after Bacardi and Smirnoff, and is sold in 126 countries.

History

Absolut was established in 1879 by Lars Olsson Smith and is produced in Åhus, Sweden. Smith introduced fractional distillation which produces liquor without fusel alcohol in Sweden in 1877, under the name "Tiodubbelt Renadt Brännvin" (Tenfold Purified Vodka). Brännvin literally means "burnt wine" and is analogous to the German "Branntwein". The term is also used in Norwegian, Danish, Faroese and Icelandic. ("Vodka" was not used for Swedish liquor until 1958, with the potato-based Explorer Vodka.) The name was changed to "Absolut Rent Brännvin" (Absolutely Pure Vodka) by Smith to market his improved product.

Smith challenged the city of Stockholm's liquor marketing monopoly with his vodka. It was sold at a lower price than the monopoly's product, just outside the city border. Smith even offered free boat rides to the distillery and "Rent Brännvin" made Smith a fortune.

Redd

Redd is a Turkish rock band established in 1996 by tenor opera singer Doğan Duru and guitarist Berke Hatipoğlu under the name Ten. They used to play at bars until they set up their own studio in 2004. Their first album, entitled "50/50", produced by Levent Büyük was published a year later by Stardium Müzik, already under the name Redd. The first videoclip was shot for "Mutlu Olmak İçin" (To Be Happy). Their second studio album, "Kirli Suyunda Parıltılar" (Glitters on Dirty Water) came out in 2006 under Pasaj Müzik. Their song "Falan Filan" entered the MTV World Music Charts at the 10th position. In 2007 the band produced its third album, "Plastik Çiçekler ve Böcek" (Plastic Flowers and Beetle). Redd started the studio recordings of their fourth album in 2009, which was published by Sony Music. Their first original soundtrack album for director Çağan Irmak's feature film Prensesin Uykusu was released in 2010. Songs from the album managed to enter European music charts.

    Absolute Hatred

    by: Cannibal Corpse

    Never leave your nest unguarded
    Next of kin, the first to go
    Absolute hatred cast upon the family
    Payback for the hated one
    I am the judge, jury, executioner
    And pallbearer all in one
    Process of elimination
    Affirmative action has just begun
    Expectorate upon your soul
    Malicious devilry is unleashed ten fold
    You cannot hide
    Witness of my stopping power
    Reaction time is not enough
    Psychological torment tearing at you
    Sanity, it has to be, it must be done
    Hatred flows, uncontained, feel my wrath
    Through the death of your entire tribe
    Hatred flows, uncontained
    I must achieve my revenge through hatred
    I've regained my pride
    Victory's mine
    You cannot hide
