It feels right again.\u201d Vocalist Jamie Stewart adds; \u201cin spite of everything that\u2019s been said and done, I\u2019m glad to have my brother back. I look forward to having our collective magic restored.\u201d
\n
\nJeramie had this to say about once again stepping behind the kit for the band that has been called Testament for the 21st Century. \u201cIt\u2019s great to be back, I missed all my old friends. I can\u2019t wait to play the new songs on tour; they are going to blow the roof off. I missed the road and I can\u2019t wait to see all our fans out on tour. I am so pumped; it\u2019s just great to back.\u201d
\n
\nAbout the band:
\n
\nTampa, FL area natives THE ABSENCE laid waste to an unsuspecting metal community with their debut Metal Blade Records album, From Your Grave, and after nearly two years of touring the guys returned in 2007 with their fan and critic acclaimed release Riders of the Plague. Riders of the Plague was recorded at Erik Rutan\u2019s Mana Studios in February \/ March 2007 with Swedish producer Jonas Kjellgren (Scar Symmetry, Carnal Forge). THE ABSENCE has returned to the metal scene heavier than ever with their third full-length album, Enemy Unbound; a metal masterpiece full of the band\u2019s brand of high flying guitar histrionics and melodies fans and critics alike have grown to love.
\n
\nVocalist Jamie Stewart continues to push himself vocally, spewing forth his grim lyrics with more force and violence than ever before. Guitarists Peter Joseph and Patrick Pintavalle deliver blistering solos, harmony-filled leads, and a level of technicality that is off the charts, growing as musicians with every album they deliver. Original drummer, and one of the founding members of THE ABSENCE, Jeramie Kling is back behind the kit and will be joining the band on the road as they tour in support of Enemy Unbound. Jeramie will undoubtedly continue where he left off, acting as the tight backbone needed to hold together the band\u2019s speedy melodic onslaught. With their latest offering, Enemy Unbound, THE ABSENCE deliver a stylish and flavored melodic death\/thrash metal album that is sure to please both fans and critics alike.
\n
\nEnemy Unbound was once again recorded at the famed, Erik Rutan-owned, Mana Studios in St. Petersburg, FL in November 2009 with Brian Elliott engineering and Peter Joseph and Patrick Pintavalle producing the album. Going along with the saying \u2018if it\u2019s not broke, don\u2019t fix it,\u2019 the band went to Sweden\u2019s Jonas Kjellgren (Scar Symmetry, Carnal Forge) of Black Lounge Studios who handled both mixing and mastering on Enemy Unbound. Guest musicians on the album include Tom Englund of Evergrey and Andy Wood.
\n
\nThe Absence have toured with the likes Cannibal Corpse, The Black Dahlia Murder, Vital Remains, Goatwhore, The Red Chord, Vader, Kataklysm, Grave, Nuclear Assault, Destruction, Through the Eyes of the Dead, Entombed, Dismember, Vivisec, Unmerciful, Dead to Fall, and Ion Dissonance just to name a few. Each stop on every tour has earned THE ABSENCE legions of new fans, which is something that will surely continue through the release of Enemy Unbound as the band tours through the states, Canada, and Europe in support of their highly anticipated release.

\nThe Absence is:
\nJamie Stewart \u2013 Vocals
\nPeter Joseph \u2013 Guitar
\nPatrick Pintavalle \u2013 Guitar
