Line 20: {{About\|the album\|the Hermetic maxim\|As above, so below}} {{Unreferenced\|find=As Above...\|find2=Þeyr\|date=September 2021}} '''''As Above...''''' ~~was~~is an album released in 1982 by [[Þeyr]], an [[Iceland]]ic [[New wave music\|new wave]] and [[rock music\|rock]] group. It was issued through the [[Shout (record label)\|Shout]] record label on a 12" vinyl record. Consisting of 12 tracks, ''As above...'' contained English versions of the band's hits. A song that stands out from the rest is "Killer Boogie", a work which has been considered an attempt by the group to break through on the international market. Line 30: The title of the album is thought to be inspired by [[Killing Joke]]'s ''[[What's THIS For...!]]'' from 1981. It sarcastically refers either to the band's name or to their previous works (in the sense that "as above" is written on application forms). It is sometimes also considered to be half of the occult maxim "[[as above, so below]]," which originates in the second line of the medieval [[alchemical]] text called the ''Tabula Smaragdina'' or ''[[Emerald Tablet]]''. The remaining songs of this album were never reissued since the [[~~mastering~~Mastering (audio)\|masters]] are believed to be lost. By 2001 Þeyr’s members and friends released a CD titled ''[[Mjötviður til Fóta]]'' which included songs from their second album, ''[[Mjötviður Mær]]'' and the [[single (music)\|single]] ''[[Iður til Fóta]]'', both releases from 1981. ==Track listing== Line 89: ==External links== [http://home.swipnet.se/~w-10797/kukl/theyr.htm Page about Þeyr] {{Webarchive\|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051014154852/http://home.swipnet.se/~w-10797/kukl/theyr.htm \|date=2005-10-14 }} [http://www.hanshan.org/musikk/theyr.php Website about the history and discography of Þeyr] *[http://www.tonlist.is/ViewArtist.aspx?AuthorID=2947 Tónlist.is] - Page about Þeyr.
