The Absence - Share New Song, Recruit Guitarists


U.S. melodic death metallers The Absence have returned and just shared a brand new song! The group released their first new song in three years, "Septic Testament." The song is also the first to feature their two new guitarists, Joey Concepcion (Armageddon) and Taylor Nordberg (Ribspreader, Infernaeon). The Absence is now recording their 4th full-length record at Kling's Smoke & Mirrors Productions, and are planning an early 2017 release. Satisfy your curiosity about the new material here.

Drummer Jeramie Kling said regarding the band's new line-up: "We had Per Nilsson [Scar Symmetry] playing guitar with us when we put out 'Oceans' in 2013, but he was unable to tour with us so we had to find a fill-in guitarist. Taylor and I had played together in Infernaeon and so we've had him playing with us live since 2013. When Per became tied up with Scar Symmetry full-time Taylor was the obvious choice to be a permanent member. Then last summer Pat [Pintavalle, guitar] decided to leave the band to pursue his own musical ventures. I had been friends with Joey on Facebook and had seen his insane guitar videos so we invited him down to jam with us and bam! The rest is history."

Was waiting to hear some news on these guys. This new song is decent, but appears to be missing the great guitar melodies that I've come to expect from them.

I'm still looking for new bands to listen to and melodeath is my fave kind of music but I miss something here... It's not so special, no powerful, nothing outstanding in other words.

Well believe it or not there are still good melodeath bands and they release albums ! We've had Omnium Gatherum and Be'lakor this year already and Insomnium and Dark Tranquillity are in the starting blocks ! Yet I wish I could hear about other bands that those I'm already following
