Tampa, Florida melodic death metallers The Absence (Inhuman Condition, Soulfly, Venom Inc.) have revealed a music video for their new track “Black Providence,” which you can check out below. The song appears on the band’s upcoming ‘Coffinized’ album on M-Theory Audio (out June 25th – pre-order + get the CD and limited-edition vinyl variants here).
“We have never been ones to shy away from a slower tempo,” says 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.”
Regarding the new album, a presser states, “[‘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. 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.”
