This night has quite literally THE BEST music in the Goth/Industrial scene in NYC. I can't get a decent dance experience anywhere else. Thank you so much for all you do for people like me who are into the Goth scene and do not want to change!

Absolution is a great place to hang out where the service is good and the music is best to lose yourself in. Good show! Cheers!

Observe the Absolution guestbook! It is a thing of beauty and modern technology. I can't wait to get to NYC so I can actually go to the club. :)

I love Absolution ! Thank you DJ Jason & DJ Xtine for keeping the faith. NYC wouldn't have anything without this party. All of the other clubs I've been to recently have hipster fake-goth and technorave fake-industrial music. I am glad there's still a place to hear new and old tunes that are fun and good. I am going to buy you each a mixed drink next week You guys deserve it.
