Melodic death metal outfit from Florida The Absence made their return last year, after an eight year hiatus, with a comeback release A Gift For The Obsessed. If you were worried you would have to wait another eight years for new music, you are in luck, because the band present a brand new track and lyric video. "Walking Shadows" is previously unreleased track from their last album sessions and is now available for streaming.




Vocalist Jamie Stewart shared the following statement: "We are ridiculously excited to finally share our new single and music video for "Walking Shadows" with the world! This was definitely a standout track from the A Gift For The Obsessed sessions, and we knew that we should wait until the absolute perfect moment to release this beast of a song since we recorded an abundance of songs and then some. So, what better time to drop 'Walking Shadows' than on the eve of our megaton tour with the mighty Deicide, Origin, and Jungle Rot? This track is utterly devastating, and it will most certainly be a smash given the complete heaviness of this package.

"We wanted to shoot a full-fledged music video," Stewart continues, "but due to time constraints and tour obligations with other projects, all band members were not available. So, instead of axing the idea completely, we decided to film a live-action lyric video solely featuring myself. Our drummer and all-around renaissance man, Jeramie Kling, shot all of the live footage for the video, and Adam Hutton of BurdenInSilence Designs did all of the editing and effects. Both did such a fantastic job, we were all completely stunned with the outcome!

"We will see all of you maniacs out on the road in May and June. Bring an extra face - you'll definitely need it once we're done playing!"
