Florida’s THE ABSENCE came onto the scene in 2005 with their crushing, Erik Rutan-produced Metal Blade Records debut, 'From Your Grave'. With this album and its four follow-ups, 2007’s 'Riders of the Plague', 2010’s “Enemy Unbound,” 2018's comeback, A Gift for the Obsessed, and 2021’s Coffinized, The Absence showcase the perfect mixture of heart-wrenching melodies and skull-pounding aggression. All the while evovling their distinct sound, truly making them one of the premiere bands of the death metal scene. THE ABSENCE further ensconced their reputation via several tours supporting some of the biggest names in metal, including Cannibal Corpse, The Black Dahlia Murder, Amon Amarth, Goatwhore, Destruction, Deicide, Origin, etc. And now, without hesitation, The Absence return with a self titled offering, marking their most cohesive work to date. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by drummer and guitarist Jeramie Kling and Taylor Nordberg, one can still find a voracious group of stark individuals, in a void-bending combustion chamber of ravenous creativity. Every single song bears a torch of deprivation, darkness and ultimate triumph, furthering their distinct and evolving mark on death metal.
