	Absu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Their lyrical themes are esoteric, ranging from Celtic myths and legends, Azif's theology of the Necronomicon Mesopotamian/Sumerian mythology (especially under the powers of Dumuzi, Uruk, and the infamous Ugalla-demons), Etymology of Thoth, Tasseomancy, Sorcery, and weaponry skills of Cnihthad.
		Absu was formed in 1991 by Equitant Ifernain (Guitars, Bass, Lyrics) and Shaftiel (Guitars, Vocals).
		With Absu still on hold, Proscriptor continues to work on other projects including Equimanthorn (with Equitant and members of The Soil Bleeds Black), Proscriptor (his own project of neo-folk/classic rock fused music), and Starchaser Network (electronic art band that is exclusively dedicated to space, sound and sleaze) with Equitant and Victorious.

		But actually, Absu has not toured in four years and it's just due to the lack of members that the band has had.
		It's just very difficult to find somebody that can fit to the style of Absu, but hopefully we will be able to tour in October and November in Europe and then follow with a US and an entire North American excursion afterwards.
		He is basically just concentrating on working on new Absu material because he does the writing of all the riffs, rhythms, and the material.

	[No title]
		Absu use the term "mythological occult metal" to describe themselves for their own reasons, and though the term is essentially just an idiosyncratic, relatively direct description of what they actually create, in 2001 it's as useful a label as any you could propose.
		What is most uniquely wonderful about Absu is that the praise and high regard accorded to them does not cease when we move on from speaking of their music in isolation from the lyrics that accompany it or the concepts and ideas that are at work behind it.
		Absu are meticulous, and though their purpose is not to teach, _Tara_ is intended to be interpretable and understandable by any listener of Absu willing to spend some time with it in its entirety -- lyrics booklet and all.

	Absu - Thrashing Black Metal
		Absu combine the two elements, sounding like a Scandinavian death metal band with a fl metal ideal and some death metal adaptations in the Western hemisphere style (a good band to compare in terms of approach would be Hypocrisy, who have a similar mix of influences but a different take on the aesthetic of them).
		Absu's gritted-teeth vocal scream and chanted recitations melt into the background swimming with strumming rhythm repeated over chord and melody shift: the evil shuddering speed of nervous deconstruction.
		Without ever peaking any new frontiers in metal or music Absu bring a closure to many of these styles, a historical fixation that at its core might be something like Mercyful Fate but might also contain the historical work of other evil metal pioneers Slayer, Morbid Angel, Bathory.

	TWAS 471: ABSU, Bathory, Stratovarius, Gackt
		In their pursuit of mythology and magic, ABSU have at least understood that the soul of a mythology is the explanatory completeness of its world-story, and the corresponding crucial element of the performance of magic is the violation of what otherwise seems like a complete competing explanation of the world.
		ABSU may be dolts, inspired by ill-grasped inanity, but the musical form their inspiration takes is certainly distinctive.
		And if ABSU's error was thinking that "atmosphere" is the collective plural of allusions, then Bathory understand that the feeling this kind of music aspires to engender is really far simpler.

	CoC : Absu : Interview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Lest you suspect such an utterance to be mere and insincere hype, let it be known that these guys are definitely one of my very favorite metal bands, and have been since I first encountered the titanic thrash and epic esoterica of _The Sun of Tiphareth_, their second full-length release.
		PMcG: Absu is strictly, and by far, a mythological, magickal, ancestrally-based cult/band.
		Absu is not classified as a Satanic band: we are more weird, occult, magickal - but you know, I like Deicide a lot.

	Metallian.com - Absu
		It is no secret to my readers that Absu and the Metallian Towers have had a rocky relationship.
		The bagpipes and most of the guest vocals are partly pathetic and partly pompous, but the instruments compensate by casting a good mixture of Slayer, eighties speed metal and more modern riffs.
		Now were the band to ditch the bagpipes and, er, bag the pretensions to the throne of the Highlands, Absu may become good enough for repeat listens an album or two down the line.

		I cannot take ABSU too seriously because they think they're moving from these past, magickal immortalities onto others.
		ABSU really confuses me because they are fl metal, but they're not always flattering Lord Sathanas in all of their songs!!!" I just wanted to say that discouragement, dejection, and negativity will always occur in ANY journalistic field of music and music reviews.
		P ABSU has performed in three times now and last years (1997) were the best I have seen so far.

	Absu
		The music I create, the music I collect/analyze, thy immortality stature, the cabal I practice, thy mistress Nadine (who I shall love perpetually...), and thy comrades worldwide that are surfaced to thy level: proportionately.
		I shall tell everybody this: if ABSU grasped a permanent line-up, then I most likely would not be as involved as in many projects that I presently am.
		It's over: however, if there was ever to be an ABSU box set to be unleashed 10-15 years from now, I would highly consider putting the "Thrashstorms" mini-disque on it.

	ABSU
		A typical ABSU performance is usually consisted of blood, wine, vermillon, steel, iron, leather, animal fur, alligator skin, sweat, hot lights, silver, glitter, smoke, fog, hate, more blood, deathly attitudes, and a slight amount of denim and leather!
		It is fundamentally what ABSU is based upon, lyrically, and mainly the occult, let alone.
		By now ABSU are an already kind of "established" band although you probably all have to work in order to make a living.

		Yes, bagpipes make up the title track (part one of phase one of the Movements) of fl metal merchants Absu [+]'s fifth album, Tara, or Exhibit V, as they like to refer to it.
		And this is only the beginning, as you'd be hard-pressed to find a band in any genre who invests so much storytelling detail into their musical tapestries.
		Absu [+] excels at it, using their virulent wall of fl/death metal as a mere backdrop to their epic legends of Celtic conquest and warfare.

		It's not the first time; people have been mentioning the Absu as a synonym for Hell, and even naming bands and occult groups after it.
		First of all, the Absu has more recently been re-interpreted as Apsu or Abzu, the name by which it is mentioned in most modern works on Mesopotamian mythology that I have seen.
		From his origins, one might expect the place made out of Absu to be pretty nasty.

	Feo Amante's Feo Music: ABSU: Tara
		No less elaborate than the visual presentation of TARA is the auditory, with a profound depth and complexity of muscianship and structure.
		Often grouped in fl metal, the approach of Absu encompasses the whole spectrum of metal -- thrash, death, fl, progressive -- with one element seamlessley melded with another, and still another, united by a high degree of technicality and/or speed.
		TARA is broken up into 2 phases: "Ioldanach's Pedagogy" and "The Cythraul Klan's Scrutiny." The bagpipes opening Phase One segue into "Pillars of Mercy," which sets the higher standard of aggression and precision to follow in the album's fifty plus minutes.

		Absu basically had no other choice but to record at Nomad Studios in Carrollton.
		Absu executes something I like to call "mythological occult metal," which I find more baneful than any fl or death metal because it's nonfictional, mathematical, historical, and definitely scientific.
		We are preparing extensive touring for the remainder of this year, but we have a dilemma; we are currently looking for a 2nd lead guitarist/backing vocalist to tour with us.

		For ten years Absu have been creating what is dubbed, or was dubbed, by God knows who, or Satan knows who for that matter “Mythological Occult Metal” in this case from 1991-2001.
		The essential collection for not only Absu followers, but for anyone into fl metal in general, here it is, in all of its mythological glory, because after all, it’s all just myth, Mythological Occult Metal, kudos to the guy who thought of that label.

	.:. Prelusion to Absu .:. Occult Whispers
		Mp3 from all albums added, ABSU are currently composing and arranging the newest hymns for their next album scheduled to be recorded sometime next year.
		As the album shall be self-titled as "Absu," the Klan seems to be concentrating more on the mythology and magic(k) of ancient times in Sumeria rather than Celtic lore and cabalism.
		I heard from proscriptor's mails that Absu wouldn't have taken part anymore because of line-up problems (they are still looking for an immortal soul to join them).

	.:. Prelusion to Absu .:. Hymns And Secrets
		Very few bands give so great attention to lyrics as they do, giving often the image that music was summoned to envelop the Hymns in a so perfect way it can't be human.
		Absu never composed lyrics in a casual way, and there is always a strong occult and epic theme evolving in their music.
		Without knowing the meaning of the myths appearing in their songs it's impossibile to understand completely the Absu abyss.
