ABSU Announce the "North American Connexus Conjuration"

ABSU today announces details on their upcoming tour, titled "North American Connexus Conjuration". The 26-city tour will see the band perform two full sets with music spanning their 20-year recording career. It is the first full tour by the Texas-based mythological occult trio since the release of 'Abzu', the second of a planned trilogy of recordings.

Vocalist/drummer Proscriptor shares, “Since the release of our latest recording, 'Abzu', the response has been extremely vehement and now is the perfect moment to commemorate the album’s essence throughout North America. We purposely waited until the timing was ideal to embark on this journey, as we shall contaminate the communities with our craft of Mythological Occult Metal. We’re attempting to divide the concerts into two sections: the first act will showcase songs spanning from our entire discography, as the second act will focus on Phase Two from the album 'Tara: The Cythrául Klan’s Scrutiny'. For the past couple of years, many of ABSU’s followers have requested specified songs from this chapter of 'Tara', so it is our aspiration to give the people what they want.”

'Abzu', the band’s seventh studio album, was released October 2010. The album was mixed by J.T. Longoria (King Diamond/Solitude Aeternus) and features original works by Polish artist Zbigniew Bielak (Watain, Behemoth, Destroyer 666, Vader). Proscriptor commented, "With this record, we are appending dirtier elements of psychedelia and fusion. Lyrically, it descends deeper into Enki's lower world as well the Enochian Magic(k) System." He added, "This album is not a 'natural progression' from previous releases, but a feat of metaphysical conquest and murkiness."

ABSU came to prominence with the release of their 1993 debut, 'Barathrum: V.I.T.R.I.O.L'. Each album saw continual expansion of the band’s now highly regarded artistic vision and international fanbase. It was with 2001’s 'Tara' that the band truly arrived. The album reached top lists of countless magazines worldwide. Years, however, would pass before any NEW material would be recorded. In late 2007, the band finally announced their re-awakening. Now teamed with London-based Candlelight Records, the band would take nearly sixteen months writing/recording their sixth album. 'Abzu', featuring contributions from members of King Diamond, Mayhem, Melechesh, Firstborn and Enthroned, was released early 2009.

"Underground Music Monday's": PUi Are Ready To Take Their Craft To A Whole NEW Level!

When PUi released an EP in January 2010 entitled 'You Will Clap' (available for purchase now on iTunes), legions of fans around the New York City metropolitan area and beyond were immediately hooked on the bands unique blend of Heavy Metal, Hard Rock, and Mediterranean sounds. Once the word got out about their revolutionary EP, the band started lining up local and national gigs that were very well received by fans from all walks of life. And soon, the PUi Tribe was born.

The very well received EP was recorded at Underground Studios and was produced by band members NC Shuva and Brian Hosey. It was mixed by Kyle Kelso and mastered by Howie Weinberg. Just when the bands tribe thought they had heard it all and seen it all, the band filmed a guerilla style music video for "Army Of Slaves" right on top of a roof top at Herald Square in Manhattan, NY right under the APPLE billboard on the day that Steve Jobs passed away. Following their eye catching video shoot, the members of the band were arrested by the NYPD for trespassing. Watch the video HERE!

Now, the time has arrived for the band to release their NEW full-length album. Entitled 'Neo-Primal', we've had the chance to listen to a few cuts and we are very confident that the entire album will be a full blown sonic experience that moves the sould and not just a record you inactively listen to as background music. Here is what NC Shuva (the bands singer/guitarist/song writer/opinionated dude) had to say about the completion of 'Neo-Primal':

"The motherfucking wait is over. The debut PUi album is complete. We did what we did to the music scene with 4 recorded tracks. Watch in fucking disbelief what we are going to do now. All the artists study the fucking structure like its your fucking homework. Everything before this was exercise. We were degenerates on the streets. Now we have the biggest crowd in NYC. Now we have funding. The biggest event to have been out together by an unsigned artist in the US of good ol A. Yet we are the same fucking maniacs who get arrested for videos, for throwing parties. Do you fucking dig? Maniacs with resources. The tickets are on sale. Get your fucking pair www.puitribe.com/puiritualiv"

The bands debut full-length album will be unleashed to the masses at the PUi Ritual IV: a two day back to back concert experience. This unique event, which will feature PUi as the headlining band, will take place on Friday, March 1 and Saturday March 2, at the legendary Irving Plaza venue in New York City. Full details available HERE!

We will be there, and so should you!
