\nFollowing ABSU\u2019s previously announced upcoming North American and European live abominations confirmed this Autumn, January 2012 will see the mythological occult metal group performing on Australian soil for the first time, headlining the Connexus Conjuration Tour!
\n
\nAustralian audiences will be treated to four special shows on this upcoming tour; one each in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Hobart. ABSU will bring support from two of the country\u2019s most devastating acts — Brisbane\u2019s purveyors of spectral damnation, Portal, and Tasmanian dark legion, Ruins — making it an incredibly extreme, not-to-be-missed tour package for any fan of dark metal residing on the continent.

As with every album in their lineage, Abzu takes the band’s signature occult blackthrash mythology to dark new calculating territories through a whirlwind of razor-sharp riffage and some of the extreme metal world’s most top-notch drumming. The second part of an ongoing trilogy of albums, which began with 2009\u2019s acclaimed Absu, and will eventually come to a finale with Apsu, Abzu was recorded at Nomad Recording Studios in Carrollton, Texas, and finds drummer\/vocalist Proscriptor and bassist\/vocalist Ezezu sharing equal vocal duties and debuts the skills of new guitarist Vis Crom. The record was mixed by J.T. Longoria (King Diamond\/Solitude Aeternus), and features original cover art from Polish artist Zbigniew Bielak (Watain, Behemoth, Destroyer 666, Vader).
