Absu prepping new album, announce tour

Dallas black metal outfit Absu are working on a new album, but before that drops they’re heading out on an extensive tour. In addition to joining Abbath, High on Fire, Tribulation and Skeletonwitch for a Charlotte date on the Decibel tour and hitting Maryland Deathfest, they’ll be stopping in NYC for a show at Saint Vitus on April 28 where they’ll be joined by Bastard Sapling. Tickets for that show are on sale now.

Another stop for Absu will be at Vancouver’s Modified Ghost Festival, which goes down April 7-10 and has a pretty stacked lineup featuring Dillinger Escape Plan, Cattle Decapitation, Suffocation, Misery Index, Dead Cross, Power Trip, Cult Leader, He Whose Ox is Gored and many more. Tickets for that are on sale now.

Absu will release their new album Apsu, their first since 2011’s Abzu, at some point later in 2016. Check out all tour dates and listen to Abzu below.
