Proscriptor adds, “We have completed the compositions and arrangements for our eighth studio album, suitably titled Apsu, which is the Sumerian-Akkadian spelling of the band moniker. The recording operation will begin in April, as we are appending the most multifaceted elements of psychedelia and fusion in extreme metal music. Lastly and as always, the lyrical content will descend into the deepest realms of Enki's lower world as well the Thelemic Magic(k) System."
