Absu is a legendary American outfit formed in 1991 in Texas, standing as one of the most influential and highly original entities in the global underground. The band spawned their own unique subgenre, widely defined as "Mythological Occult Metal." The music of Absu is a high-speed, technical, and frantic display of black/thrash metal, blending the venomous fury of the second black metal wave with the sharp dynamics of old-school thrash and subtle progressive elements. Driven by the vision of mastermind, vocalist, and drummer Proscriptor McGovern, the lyrical and conceptual core is entirely dedicated to Sumerian-Mesopotamian, Celtic, and Yggdrasil mythologies, as well as sorcery and occultism. With their phenomenal speed, intricate execution, and charismatic presence, Absu permanently remains a definitive, uncompromising cult phenomenon of the extreme metal realm.
