Absu is an black/thrash metal band from Plano, Texas, USA. Their early work leaned towards a death metal sound, but more recently they have
incorporated a black and thrash metal sound with some celtic and folk music (which they call "Mythological Occult Metal"). Their lyrical themes
are esoteric, ranging from Celtic myths and legends, Sumerian myths and legends, magic, weaponry, and sorcery.
