Absu
Lassen wieder von sich hören!

Nach sehr langem Schweigen gibt es nun neues von ABSU. Proscriptor äußerte sich sehr ausführlich zum Line-Up-Wechsel und zum aktuellen Stand:

„After 5 years of silence, I am pleased to announce the new line-up of ABSU. It was a difficult task to replace both Shaftiel and Equitant after being together for nearly 11 years, but now is the time to carry on. Here is the new reorganization of the band:

Proscriptor McGovern – Percussives, Mellotron, Voices & Lyrical Magick
Vastator Terrarum – Guitars, Bass Guitar, Analog Synthesizers & Backing Voices
Aethyris MacKay – Guitars, Bass Guitar, Analog Synthesizers & Backing Voices

We have begun composing and arranging the material for what will be known as the self-titled album, simply called „Absu.“ In 2002, 4 out of 16 tracks were written; 2 of them we’re keeping while the other 2 we’re abandoning. We will begin recording in the latter part of autumn 2007 or early 2008 anticipating a release before June 2008 for Osmose Productions/The End Records.

„Absu“ projected track listing: (in no particular order)

Night Fire Canonization
Girra’s Temple
Amy
In the Name of Auebothiabathabaithobeuee
13 Globes
Voor
Twix Yesterday, The Day & The Morrow
Between the Absu of Eridu & Erech
Those of the Void Will Re-Enter
Magick Square Cipher
Sceptre Command
Nunbarshegunu
Diversified Signs Inscribed
xiv. Our Earth of Black
xv. Ye Uttuku Spells
xvi. …Of the Dead Who Never Rest in Their Tombs is the Attendance of Familiar Spirits…

Lyrically, I am concentrating more on Sumerian-based occult themes of magick and mythology versus the Celtic aspect of my previous writings, which was heavily expressed on the last few ABSU studio albums. Musically speaking, the material will be quite similar to „Tara,“ but with more of a 70’s progressive/psychedelic texture within it. You will not be disappointed – trust me. I will be utilizing the first logo created by Equitant and Belgian artist Kris Verwimp will handle the cover illustration once again.“
