February 20, 2024, 10 months ago
Melodic death metallers, The Absence, have released a new single, “Communion Carbonized”, from their upcoming self-titled album. This marks the second single from the group's new album and focuses on their high intensity sound. A lyric video for the song is available below, created by Andrea Mantelli.
For twenty years, The Absence has been flying the flag of melodic death metal in Florida, and the flag continues to fly to this day. The group, which now forges on as a power-trio of Jamie Stewart (Hot Graves) on vocals, Jeramie Kling (Inhuman Condition, ex-Venom Inc) on drums and backing vocals, and Taylor Nordberg (Deicide, Inhuman Condition, Umbilicus) on guitar and bass, will release their sixth, and self-titled album on March 29 on Kling/Nordberg’s own Listenable Insanity Records, with digital distribution through Blood Blast Distribution.
The artwork for the album was done by Dan “Babe Ruth” Goldsworthy (Inhuman Condition, Corpsegrinder, Tim “Ripper” Owens, Accept). The album was recorded, mixed and mastered by Jeramie Kling and Taylor Nordberg at Smoke & Mirrors Productions in Spring Hill, Florida.
The album will be available on CD at Bandcamp, and digital platforms. The band will also release a disc of bonus material containing a re-recorded version of “Necropolis”, an Iron Maiden cover, acoustic renditions of Absence songs, and some other hidden gems.
