Florida-based melodic death metal masters THE ABSENCE have unveiled a new video for “Faith in Uncreation”. Another track from the group’s new album “Coffinized,” released June 25 via M-Theory Audio.
Drummer, Jeramie Kling adds:
“From the moment I heard this song, I was hooked. It became one of my favorites on the record. It was a pleasure to work Anthony at Zenbeast. He captured exactly the vibe and visuals we were going for. I hope everyone enjoys this video as much as we do. ”
The video is now Live via the bands YouTube and can be viewed here:
Hailed by Decibel for “leaving the majority of melodic death metal’s recent history chewing dust,” “Coffinized” – which can be ordered on CD and limited-edition colored vinyl at https://www.nightshiftmerch.com/collections/The-Absence – is THE ABSENCE’s follow-up to their acclaimed 2018 comeback record, “A Gift For The Obsessed.” That album was the band’s first in eight years, as well as their first for new label home M-Theory Audio. The time period between that album’s release and the COVID outbreak saw the band stay busy by taking their new songs to the road, touring alongside acts such as Deicide, Origin, Jungle Rot, Exmortus and Hatchet. The group’s members also stayed busy with outside endeavors, with drummer Jeramie Kling manning the kit for Venom Inc., bassist Mike Leon, a member with Soulfly and Cavalera Conspiracy and guitarist Taylor Nordberg playing with Massacre.

Those three band members took the experiences from their touring gigs and reconvened in the studio with Stewart – who has also been busy with his other project, Hot Graves – to put together the 11 tracks of pummeling death metal that compose “Coffinized.” The album was produced and engineered by Kling and Nordberg, mixed by Kling and mastered by Jonas Kjellgren (Immortal, Overkill, Scar Symmetry) at Sweden’s Black Lounge Studios. Its track listing is as follows:
Coffinized
Future Terminal
Choirs of Sickness
Radiant Devastation
Cathedral Dawn
Black Providence
Discordia
Treacherous
This Consuming Nocturne
Aperture Expands
Faith in Uncreation

THE ABSENCE first burst onto the scene in 2005 with their crushing, Erik Rutan-produced Metal Blade debut “From Your Grave.” That album and its two follow-ups, 2007’s “Riders of the Plague” and 2010’s “Enemy Unbound,” showcased a perfect mixture of heart wrenching melodies and skull-pounding aggression, truly making them one of the premiere bands of the melodic death metal scene. THE ABSENCE further cemented their reputation via numerous tours supporting some of the biggest names in metal, including Cannibal Corpse, The Black Dahlia Murder, Amon Amarth, Sabaton, Goatwhore, Evergrey, Malevolent Creation, Kataklysm and Destruction. Following a lengthy hiatus, the band regrouped in 2016 with a new lineup uniting founding members Stewart and Kling with long-time bassist Leon and guitarists Nordberg and Joey Concepcion for “A Gift for The Obsessed.” (Concepcion appears on four tracks on “Coffinized.”)
Florida-based melodic death metal masters THE ABSENCE have unveiled a Drum playthrough by Jeramie Kling of popular song, “Echoes”. The song is taken from the band’s sophomore record, “Riders of the Plague”, released on Metal Blade Records.

Upon release of “Riders of the Plague” in 2007, the band made history with the likes of the legendary Cannibal Corpse, The Black Dahlia Murder, The Red Chord, and Goatwhore. This was a historical tour because it was the “Metal Blade 25th Anniversary Tour”. There can only be one of those, and The Absence supported this great record with their labelmates, at the time.
Coming off a high, The Absence kept pushing and went back out with a follow up tour in 2008 with headliner, Amon Amarth on their “Twilight of the Thunder God” tour. Supporting Amon Amarth on the release of their new record Ensiferum, and Belphegor. A dynamic line up that would prove the band to be able to tour with almost any act. The Absence has a unique twist on what feels like the Swedish coined genre of “Melodic Death Metal”. The band as a whole has a personality on stage and through their music that just has something to offer any metal head in general.

Enjoy The Absence’s Jeramie Kling, as he displays his unmatched style of drumming in this playthrough of This Consuming Nocturne, off of the bands latest release, COFFINIZED! When asked for his thoughts on this song, Jeramie replied: “This song really strikes a chord with me! It resonates deeply. The lyrical content alone makes this tune a blast to play! I love all the little change ups that happen along the way, Taylor’s riffs are the perfect battleground to drive a fast tank through. Enjoy as much as I did! Also, enjoy the bit of Florida wildlife at the beginning, we live here, it’s more than moving pictures.” Vocalist, Jamie Stewart adds: “Jeramie’s drumming on This Consuming Nocturne is just flat out fantastic. It’s a huge component of why I adore the song as much as I do! So being able to watch the Machine in action, it never gets old, EVER!!!”

Vocalist, Jamie Stewart adds:
“With the lyric video for This Consuming Nocturne we went for a silent film visual, coupled with the song’s gloomy, yet triumphant atmosphere. The track itself, also serves in part as a sequel to the song Walking Shadows, released in 2019. Where Walking Shadows speaks of a dark, self-reflective realization, This Consuming Nocturne is about searching through the darkness itself, facing the lonely registers of night. It’s about finding your answers, waiting under the drape of twilight.”

The video is now streaming at Metal Injection and can be viewed at this location. The song itself is available now for streaming and download at all digital music outlets.
“We have never been ones to shy away from a slower tempo,” explains drummer Jeramie Kling. “And on ‘Black Providence,’ the sheer density becomes whole within the monolithic cadence. Sometimes we find ourselves afraid to face the pain of reality. The only way to achieve solace is to push through it; to make the tough decisions; to not take the easy way out.”
Hailed by Decibel for “leaving the majority of melodic death metal’s recent history chewing dust,” “Coffinized” – which can be pre-ordered on CD and limited-edition colored vinyl at smarturl.com/coffinized – is THE ABSENCE’s follow-up to their acclaimed 2018 comeback record, “A Gift For The Obsessed.” That album was the band’s first in eight years, as well as their first for new label home M-Theory Audio.
