Absu Ink Deal With Candlelight Records

Texas-based mythological occult metal outfit ABSU has signed a deal with Candlelight Records.

Proscriptor says of the deal: "With the launch of the new ABSU line-up, (members Aethyris and Vastator) and a new studio album in the works, I felt it was time to re-evaluate the career path of the band. Candlelight's expanding growth, as an independent label with their proven creative support, is one of the many reasons I feel this is the superlative opportunity for ABSU. Working with Osmose Productions for over 15 years has been a prosperous experience and I have the utmost respect for the label's manager, Herve Herbaut. I wish him good fortune and success in the future."

Absu will begin recording in February/March 2008 anticipating a release before June 2008.

Absu projected track listing (in no particular order):
'13 Globes'
'In The Name Of Auebothiabathabaithobeuee'
'Between The Absu Of Eridu & Erech'
'Night Fire Canonization'
'Those Of The Void Will Re-Enter'
'Nunbarshegunu'
'Girra's Temple'
'Magick Square Cipher'
'Ye Uttuku Spells'
'Amy'
'…Of The Dead Who Never Rest In Their Tombs Are The Attendance Of Familiar Spirits…Including:
'Diversified Signs Inscribed'
'Voor'
'Sceptre Command'
'Twix Yesterday, The Day & the Morrow'
'Our Earth Of Black'

Proscriptor adds: "Lyrically, I am concentrating more on Sumerian-based occult themes of magick and mythology versus the Celtic aspect of my previous writings, which was heavily expressed on the last few ABSU studio albums. Musically speaking, the material will be quite similar to 'Tara', but with more of a '70s progressive/psychedelic texture within it. You will not be disappointed — trust me. I will be utilizing the first logo created by Equitant and Belgian artist Kris Verwimp will handle the cover illustration once again."
