Anyone know Absu?

[Salamurhaaja]

I got this Order thing with my Marduk CD and it had a shirt for Absu, the backside said 'Mythological Occult Metal' on it.
I was wondering if anyone has heard them and what they think of it, any bands to compare it with and so on. I have found one MP3 from them 'Customs Of Tasseomancy', but I would like to hear more from them.

This is also posted at Opeth board to get more oppinions.

I've never heard them, but I did some searching and found thier official website:

http://www.metalprovider.com/absu/

More downloads are available there...

Cool, thanks!
I found everything else but the official site

Anyway, if you are interested the thread at Opeth board is getting a bit more answers about what kind of music they are and so on.

I have their material. The lyrics are interesting. Some called their style as black/thrash metal. The vox is great!

i seem to vaguely recall some album title that sounded like "the sun of tiphareth" (sp?) or something. it's just so groovy to say that t-word out loud with the stress that's typical of a dialect here in italy.

I like their latest and the stuff I've heard of their earlier albums.

I'd call Tara thrashy black metal.
