There are 2 bands named Absu.
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.
