	CoC : Absu : Interview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		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.

	TWAS 471: ABSU, Bathory, Stratovarius, Gackt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		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.
		Nancarrow wrote music you couldn't even pretend people were playing by hand, in the only medium available to him where composition needn't be constrained by performers.

	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).
		Any atmospheric or ambient effects to this music come from the flutterstrum of the guitar, which mediates the articulation of the riff under the dominant chord change, allowing a greater degree of inflection; its mesmerizing cyclic tendency hypnotizes with linear voicings of complex rhythms broken into a datastream of fast picking.
		While the heritage elements of this music remain the chorus-based structuring and vocal melodic centering, the divergence is in ambient structures of high-speed dissonant variation, hiding within the center of otherwise more conventional pieces attributes of the nihilism of fl metal.

		The music is so technically adept that they have been unable to find a permanent second guitarist to join the clan.
		In the interest of exploring Absu's musical vision and the ideas behind the new album 'Tara', the Metal Update had a chat with drummer / vocalist / lyricist Sir Proscriptor McGovern.
		He is basically just concentrating on working on new Absu material because he does the writing of all the riffs, rhythms, and the material.

		To be totally honest with you, you are completely incorrect, as ABSU hardly ever performs in the United States at all.
		ABSU is like none other bands on planet Earth, so this should reasonably answer your question.
		Maybe when ABSU decides to release the official box-set in 10-12 years down the road, we shall slap those particular hymns on there.

		I have been hearing for the past six months that Absu has officially disbanded and we are terminated from Osmose's roster from over 100 sources now.

	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.

	[No title]
		I don't mind if the music is made by christians (in fact, i'd prefer it) but i don't like the way most extreme metal bands sing about religion, in a very aggressive and concrete way.
		Their music became tangibly more gothic, owing to more mid-paced, linear compositions and, undoubtedly the most unnerving shock at the time, Jonas Renkse's clear vocals replacing all the forms of beautifully grim, literally tantalising death metal rasps featured in Katatonia's earlier works.
		Musically speaking, we have been listening to a lot of different things over the last little while and I think it shows up quite a bit on this record.

		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.

		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.

		By 1991, the name change to Absu (borrowed from ancient Mesopotamian beliefs) had taken effect, two demos, "Immortal Sorcery" and "Return of the Ancients" were in the can, and independent Gothic Records was showing interest in the self-proclaimed "mythological occult metal" group.
		Absu then signed with France's famed Osmose Productions, which issued their subsequent efforts, Sun of Tiphareth (1995),...And Shineth Unto the Cold Cometh (E.P., 1995), The Third Storm of Cythraul (1997), and In the Eyes of Ioldánach (E.P., 1998).
		Each of these displayed increasingly elaborate studies of obscure mysticism (Sumerian, Gaelic, you name it!), and, and led to tours with the likes of Impaled Nazarene and Enslaved, helping Absu carve a position of huge respect within fl metal circles.

		I cannot really elaborate on this subject any more because I have to personally transpire my cabal and esoteric thoughts into the euphonic transition of the music; while all these other pizza eating geeks are trying to impress their friends on how fast they play, yet it's rather senseless.
		It is the highest, most absolute, and most divine knowledge of natural philosophy; it's advanced in its works and wonderful operations by right understanding on the inward and occult virtue of things, so that agents being applied to proper patients, strange, and admirable effects will thereby be produced.
		When I compose and arrange the music for ABSU, I am definitely a profound and diligent researcher of nature because of my adroit skills knowing how to anticipate an effect, which to the vulgar (humans) shall seem a miracle.

		For that reason, we should be aware that modern styles of "musical worship" are built on the Jewish Temple-State and not on the New Testament church as a synagogue or school of the Bible.
		The world's literature is aware of a much less stable world and the elements which controlled their lives were seen as living powers.

		I’m not saying this due to the fact I'm in the band, I’m saying this coming from some one who just looks at the music as a whole.
		What differs “Tara” from all the previous efforts by ABSU most, is that it strikes as EXTREMELY weird CD in terms of sound execution; especially when it comes to drum tracks…
		I think the next album "Absu", will be done at a new studio… we are in need of a change.

		OF THE FALLEN, KATHONIK, FUNERAL RITES, NEMONTEMI, DREADMOON, PRIMEVIL, CONDEMNED, ABSU and ADUMUS are all from Texas.
		Personally I think the old music such as BATHORY, VENOM, and some Death Metal are what created this music here, and of course the European BM music.
		The music didn't make them stupid, they were stupid to begin with.

		this texas thrash band has already carved themselves a unique and rewarding musical past but this album is the pinnacle in their true metal assault.
		Commonly labelled "fl thrash," Absu's sound essentially combines the dark atmosphere and over-the-top image of fl metal with the precision and accessibility of thrash.
		With musicianship to spare and razor-sharp songwriting skills, Absu create music that's epic, unrelenting, and at times even catchy.

		Our music is stamped, more or less, as "mythological occult metal" and this does not derive from other euphonic inspirations; it originates from our liquid, glass-cased hearts.
		ABSU now consists of Shaftiel and thyself only, so we are currently seeking to reconstruct the infamous Cythraul Klan and reform this fucking kult completely!
		Musically, "The Sun Of Tiphareth," but the engineering production is horrendous.

		Dirges were chanted over an effigy of the dead god, which was washed with pure water, anointed with oil, and clad in a red robe, suffused with incense to wake him from the sleep of death.
		And when he had ritually bathed in a tank, with great ceremonies and to the sound of music, he proceeded to the temple, where he paid worship to the divinity.
