Mythological occult metal band Absu have announced their 30th-anniversary tour to commemorate their legendary second album “The Sun Of Tiphareth.” The tour will commence in 2025. Proscriptor will be joined by theGreek veterans Zemial, to make the tour an unforgettable one. The first major festival performance will be hosted by Hell’s Heroes VII Festival in Houston, Texas (March 20–22). Additional (global) dates will be announced soon.
Proscriptor shares his thoughts:
“2025 will memorialize 30 years of ABSU’s sophomore invocation ‘The Sun of Tiphareth,’ an album that represents the metaphysical association between phenomenon and noumenon – illusory versus tangible. Within its augmented sense of arcane determination, this album furthered the mythological occult metal approach. Of chaos, the Deep will respond.”
He continues:
“My alliance with Vorskaath (ex–Agatus/ex–Varathron) dates back to 1991, as we have been traversing parallel paths ever since – culminating in my joining ZEMIAL on stage in 2019 and Vorskaath joining PROSCRIPTOR MCGOVERN’S APSÛ as keyboardist for the sole album under that name. Therefore, it made utter sense to unite ZEMIAL’s power trio with this reincarnation of ABSU. Ultimately, it is a great honor to feature Vorskaath and company, in joining me, to convey these Tipharethian rites on stage.”
Vorskaath says:
“’The Sun of Tiphareth’ represents my personal favorite album by ABSU, and through my close contact with Proscriptor, Shaftiel and Equitant, I was able to witness its inceptive creation: from the rehearsal stages until the album’s official release. I look forward to present an accurately thunderous rendition of this black/thrash colossus.”
According to the press release:
To coincide with the performances, a deluxe 30th anniversary edition release is scheduled next year via Osmose Productions.
