Absu is an American black/thrash metal band from Dallas, Texas. Their demos and first album leaned toward death metal, but they later adopted the thrash/black sound for which the group became recognized. Their lyrical themes are esoteric, including elements of Celtic, Sumerian, and Mesopotamian myths and legends, alchemy, numerology, magick, and sorcery.
