As ABSU’s latest evolutionary output -- their sixth full-length, Abzu -- nears North American release this Tuesday, October 11th via Candlelight Records, advance reviews from print and online media worldwide are praising the brilliant, blazing textures the opus bears. As with every album in the Texas-based outfit's lineage, Abzu takes ABSU's occult blackthrash mythology to new calculating, dark new territories through a whirlwind of razor-sharp riffage and Proscriptor's signature scathing cackle and some of the most top-notch drumming in extreme metal.
