Absu was formerly known as Dolmen, which evolved via Azathoth, Eternus and Necrotic into Absu in 1991. Magus was the pre-Absu act of Proscriptor McGovern.
The following press release was also issued: "Every great story has a prologue. Before the mighty Absu, there were two occult metal manifestations... Magus and Dolmen that together, helped to forge one of the the most well know acts in the underground today."
"Fans of Absu, we offer you 2 amazing cult metal vinyl releases that helped to create one of the greatest underground acts of the 90's. Release date: TBA."
