Absu

With the dawn of a new year upon us and almost a decade into a new millennium, the time is now for the return of Mythological Occult Metal's forefathers to issue a new and unique vision. February 2009 will see the band's first full length album since 2001's famed Tara in the form of the eponymous-titled, Absu.

The album sees Proscriptor McGovern leading a new band into what is easily its strongest/most accomplished material and promises not only to wave the flag high of it's past, but to embrace the new with every bit as much vigor and aggression.

To fully understand the musical mystery and mythology of the band, one has to dig deep into the roots of its complex gathering of artists and musicians. Only then is one prone to discover that Absu are not only in it for the music, but for the advancement of its art. The lyrical content within Absu's music is based on such themes as Sumerian/Mesopotamian/Celtic mythology, Goetic/Chaos/Enochain Magic(k), Thelemic Mysticism, Metaphysics, Necromancy and Barbarism.
