Candlelight Records has announced the upcoming release of a special deluxe version of ABSU's popular self-titled album. Set for American release January 26, the limited-edition format will include a bonus live DVD that was filmed in Montreal amidst the band's first Stateside tour in nearly eight years.
The band recently kicked off a European tour, with support coming from Norwegian label mates PANTHEON I, Australia/England's RAZOR OF OCCAM (featuring members of DESTROYER 666), and American-based ZOROASTER, bringing their highly regarded and self-described "mythological occult metal" to stages for their long-time European fans.
Released in February of this year, the J.T. Longoria-produced (KING DIAMOND, SOLITUDE AETERNUS) produced "Absu" features the trio with an all-star array of guest musicians and showcases the unique graphics of Belgian artist Kris Verwimp. It is the first album from the band released via England's Candlelight Records, all previous records released by French independent Osmose Productions. In its first month of release, the record was pressed three times as fans rushed out to buy the record which held the number two spot on CMJ's (College Music Journal) Loud Rock chart for three consecutive weeks.
Prior to the start of rehearsals for the ongoing European tour, ABSU announced the addition of session lead guitarist Vis Crom (pronounced "Vish Krahm") to the group's ranks. He replaces Zawicizuz, who was recently dismissed due to irreconcilable differences. Drummer/vocalist Proscriptor said of the replacement, "We are extremely thrilled to welcome Vis Crom as the newest touring musician of ABSU. He has proven to be a conquering performer and we're delighted to convey our next live chapters with him."
Quality video footage of the ABSU's July 25, 2009 performance at the Stonehenge "underground metal festival" at De Buze in Steenwijk, The Netherlands can be viewed below (courtesy of "letthedeathmetalflow").
