Absu

Absu is a black metal band formed in 1990 from Plano, Texas, USA. Their demos and first album leaned towards death metal, but evolved more towards a black metal and thrash metal which includes elements of celtic music and folk music (and later, elements of jazz fusion, progressive rock and psychedelic music) which the band calls "Mythological Occult Metal". Their lyrical themes are esoteric, including Celtic myths and legends, Sumerian myths and legends, alchemy, numerology, magick, weaponry, and sorcery.
