Texas-based mythological occult metal band Absu have posted the song "Girra's Temple" from their self-titled new album due in stores February 24 on their official MySpace page. The song offers fans the first listen to material on the anxiously awaited new album that features an all-star array of guest musicians. Bring your browser to http://www.myspace.com/absu.
Absu is the first new recording from the trio since their highly acclaimed album Tara released in 2001. Produced by the band with mixing assistance from J.T. Longoria (King Diamond, Solitude Aeternus), the album features artwork from Belgian artist Kris Verwimp. Drummer/vocalist Proscriptor says of the album's lyrical concepts, "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 '70s progressive/psychedelic texture within it."
Absu came to international prominence with the release of their debut, Barathrum: VITRIOL, in 1992. Originally released via Gothic Records, the label later licensed the record to France's Osmose Productions. (Immortal, Enslaved, Marduk) Absu would establish a solid relationship with the label and thus release all later recordings via the renowned independent, including the highly regarded Tara. (2001) In 2007, the band would announce a new partnership with London-based Candlelight Records.
