There are 2 bands named Absu.
1. American black metal band with a sound informed both by thrash and death metal. Formed in Plano, Texas in 1989, the band’s name was originally Dolmen but this was soon changed to Absu, drawing thematic influence from esoteric 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.
The current line-up is:
Proscriptor McGovern - Vocals (lead), Drums (Proscriptor, ex-Melechesh, ex-Judas Iscariot)
Vis Crom - Guitars (Rumpelstiltskin Grinder, ex-Armageddon, ex-Evil Divine)
Ezezu - Vocals (backing), Bass (ex-Panzram)
In 2007, Proscriptor resurrected Absu, announcing a new line-up and a new (self-titled) album was released in 2009.

2. Black metal band from Italy, released only one demo:

Barathrum had a meaty drum sound and the guitars had a lot of presence but it felt like a one dimensional production to me, more suited to death metal. The subsequent albums had more of a sense of space to them. Tiphareth still sounds the best to my ears. Looks like they will be touring with Impiety this year, fucking brilliant.

i think the band produced The Sun of Tiphareth and The Third Storm of Cythraul on their own, while the label they were on did most of the production work for Barathrum. don't take my word on that though.

The production on their debut is actually better than that on their next two, why....

How can you not like a band who's drummer does vocals at the same time? Nobody has shit on Proscriptor.
