1.
American esoteric black metal band with a sound informed both by thrash and death metal. Formed in Dallas, TX in 1989, the band’s name was originally Dolmen but this was soon changed to Absu, drawing thematic influence from middle-eastern and celtic mythology they recorded four albums and an EP from 1993 to 2001. After the release of Tara in 2001 the band was put on hiatus as guitarist and bassist Equitant Ifernain and Shaftiel departed, citing musical differences and disinterest in the band, respectively. Drummer Proscriptor continued with solo work, performing drumming & vocal duties for Melechesh alongside his involvement in projects such as Equimanthorn.
In 2007, Proscriptor resurrected Absu, announcing a new line-up and a new (self-titled) album was released in 2009.

They played a little over 90 minutes in Plymouth last Thursday, was bloody awesome, they played 'till 1:30am! 4crossed wands was amazing, especially with Proscriptor's crazy mathematical speech beforehand. Very impressive set played, all the bands that night were amazing.

Saw them last night in Dublin. They played: An Involution of Thorns Descent to Acheron Swords and Leather Night Fire Canonisation Apzu The Thrice is Greatest to Ninnigal Never Blow Out the Eastern Candle Highland Tyrant Attack The Coming of War The order might not be the same. They also frequently play Manannan and Four Crossed Wands from time to time, as well as a couple more tracks from the s/t, but they were so fucking beset by technical difficulties (plus a curfew) last night that they didn't have the opportunity (nor the inclination, probably). Fantastic performance in any case.

Is it really the drummer doing the vocals? That's some serious multitasking right there.

So they lost the 'absu edge' that was present on the earlier album, but what band hasn't? Doesn't mean the s/t is bad.
