Profile:
American black metal band with a sound informed both by thrash and death metal. Formed in Dallas, TX in 1989, the band's name was originally Dolmen but this was soon changed to Absu.

The band was put on hiatus as guitarist and bassist Equitant Ifernain and Shaftiel departed, citing musical differences and disinterest in the band, respectively. Drummer Proscriptor injured his hand thereafter, requiring surgery, healing and therapy.

In 2007, Proscriptor resurrected Absu, announcing a new line-up and a new album.

On January 27, 2020, Proscriptor announced that he has decided to permanently dissolve Absu. After a series of legal disputes over the rights to the band name, Proscriptor then formed Proscriptor McGovern's Apsû.
