After unforeseen visa issues forced mythological occult
metal pioneers ABSU to cancel their Brazilian tour with Inquisition this
week, vocalist/percussionist Proscriptor McGovern made the following
public statement:
"First of all, we bitterly regret having to cancel our
Brazilian tour being our debut South American appearance. Due to visa
applications being inadequately processed, we cannot legally enter the country
at this time; however, we are presently working with our agency to solidify
rescheduling for the middle of October. We sincerely apologize to the Brazilian
followers of ABSU who wanted to witness the band for the first
time."
Further live ABSU assaults around the globe
are being devised now for disbursement in the coming weeks.
ABSU’s sixth full-length, 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’s 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).
