Texas-based mythological occult metal outfit ABSU has announced the addition of bassist/co-vocalist Ezezu (ex-PANZRAM) to the group's ranks.

This is the first time the band is experiencing a permanent quartet-type lineup since their debut album Barathrum: V.I.T.R.I.O.L.

Drummer/vocalist Proscriptor says of the latest addition, "We are very proud to welcome Ezezu as the newest member of Absu. He was the missing element we have been searching for and definitely fits in the group. We are delighted to convey our next chapter of mythological occult metal with him."

Absu has just completed the recording of their latest album, Absu, to be released in the beginning of 2009 on Candlelight Records. The album was more or less engineered by the band, mixed by none other than J.T. Longoria at Nomad Recording Studio (KING DIAMOND, SOLITUDE AETERNUS) and will be mastered by Proscriptor at his studio Tarot Productions.

Guest musicians on the album include the following: Ashmedi (MELECHESH), Blasphemer (ex-MAYHEM/AVA INFERI), Equitant (ex-Absu/EQUITANT), David Harbour (ex-King Diamond/DAVID HARBOUR), Michael Harris (DARKOLOGY/MICHAEL HARRIS), Mindwalker (THE FIRSTBORN), Nornagest (ENTHRONED), Vorskaath (ZEMIAL).

Absu projected tracklisting: 'Between The Absu Of Eridu & Erech', 'Night Fire Canonization', 'Amy', 'Nunbarshegunu', '13 Globes', '…Of The Dead Who Never Rest In Their Tombs Are The Attendance Of Familiar Spirits' - Including: A.) 'Diversified Signs Inscribed', B.) 'Our Earth Of Black', C.) 'Voor', 'Magic(k) Square Cipher', 'In The Name Of Auebothiabathabaithobeuee', 'Girra’s Temple', 'Those Of The Void Will Re-Enter', 'Sceptre Command', 'Ye Uttuku Spells', 'Twix Yesterday, The Day & The Morrow'.
