THE ABSENCE – New Music Video Released

The new LP has been titled A Gift For The Obsessed and will hit streets on March 23 through M-Theory Audio. Featuring ten songs, including a cover of Suicidal Tendencies’ “You Can’t Bring Me Down,” the record was mixed by David Castillo (Opeth, Katatonia) and masterered by Thomas Johansson (Watain, Scar Symmetry). Check out a new music video down below.

The Absence, throughout three releases for Metal Blade Records and several years of touring in support, have been carried by an enormous swell of ups and downs in the extreme. Those who remain to begin the next stage of this voyage have grown stronger both as a group, and individuals as they have ridden the ebb and flow. There is a new dawn on the horizon for The Absence, a chance to head in new directions with fresh philosophies, music, and a renewed commitment to cause a blinding wake that will cut through the storm, which threatens to capsize even the bravest of ships.

After laying waste to an unsuspecting metal community with From Your Grave in 2005, the band’s debut full length for Metal Blade Records, Riders of The Plague followed two years later as their sophomore release on the same label and had critics hailing The Absence as “Testament for the 21st century, bound to begin another thrash revolution!” Enemy Unbound, released in 2010, is full of the band’s signature brand of high flying guitar histrionics and melodies, while Jamie Stewart’s vocals are more aggressive and punctuated than ever before. The band released a single, “Oceans” which featured Per Nilsson on guitar.
