Proscriptor McGovern’s Apsû is an American “mythological occult metal” band from Dallas, Texas formed in 2020 and the most obvious by-product of the chemical breakdown of Absu. When drummer/vocalist Proscriptor (Russ R. Givens) decided to dissolve ABSU on January 27th 2020, his main intention was to splinter the 30-year old faction into a fixed songwriting concord. In July of 2020, it was announced that a debut self-titled album would be released under the moniker Proscriptor McGovern’s Apsû, via their new signatory label, Agonia Records. Since Absu’s last album ‘was’ to be penned as Apsu, (Babylonian allusion) he decided to fuse the album title with his name to form the new group. Securing the ranks is continuing bassist/vocalist Ezezu and new guitar extraordinaire Vaggreaz. The new album will be announced in late 2020 with the persisted artwork skills of Zbigniew Bielak.
