Abzu is part two of a planned trilogy of recordings from mythological occult metal trio Absu. Mixed by J.T. Longoria (King Diamond/Solitude Aeternus), the album follows the band's popular 2009 self-titled album.
'An energizing sprint through black metal, bedrock thrash, symphonic flourishes, and arcane mythological references...layers of density define the record - in sonics, in lyrics, in the completely triumphant, surprisingly melodic manner in which it merges the two. Perfect and immense.' - Pitchfork
