Formerly known as Dolmen, which evolved via Azathoth, Eternus and Necrotic into Absu in 1990. Calling themselves "Mythological Occult Metal, "Absu" in Sumerian mythology refers to a subterranean ocean. The band draws on Sumerian, Celtic and other ancient mythologies, supervised by Proscriptor.
Absu's releases go by conceptual cycles: the first 2 albums are based on Sumerian mythology; while 'The Third Storm of Cythraul', 'In the Eyes of Ioldanach' and 'Tara' form a trilogy about old Celtic mythology. After a hiatus of 5 years the band returned in 2009 with 'Absu', the first part of a new trilogy based on magick and occultism.
Local fellowship led the band to record two Morbid Scream cover versions on their 2nd and 3rd LP, namely "The Coming of War" and "Morbid Scream" respectively. Also recorded 'Hallstattian Swords' 7" which remained unreleased until 'Mythological Occult Metal'.
Contributed the song "Transylvania" for the Iron Maiden tribute "A Call to Irons" released by Dwell Records.
