The Absence "Enemy Unbound" Metal Blade Records

[MaelSechlinn]

In the Dead & Gone video the singer is wearing a Testament t-shirt

This band rocks hard, and definitely needs supporting!

Mike Amott (Carcass/Arch Enemy) used to play a hot pink Ibanez RG Strat in the old Carcass days fyi. Nothing wrong with a pink guitar when you sound that brutal with it!

[ThoseStupidPolicemen]

singer looks like the lead singer of a day to remember

[outlawtorn722]

I love The Absence, but I haven't watched this video in awhile.

All I can think is how much their vocalist looks like Jesse from Breaking Bad with his beard trimmed.

[TheAndy1233]

im really digging that amon amarth shirt!!

[skatingistheancre]

there awsomse

[DarkoEpicUp]

this band need support... !!!!!!!

[skatingistheancre]

i want to see them in concert

[TheLoathor]

@shinozoku Finally someone Agrees :P

[thunderdragon0]

vid starts; first thing i notice: amon amarth shirt! fuck yeah!

[xMxExTxAxLxHxExAxDx]

what lovely lives you must have arguing on you tube ^_^

[mudtalliclutch]

Chuck Norris on vox!

[JaimeAndresJaramillo]

Reminds me the Jester era of In Flames, Fucking brutal band, Hail The Absence!

[xMxExTxAxLxHxExAxDx]

@JaimeAndresJaramillo its like in flames and devil driver combined, badass shit.

[broke123]

easily my fave band ever! \,,/

[Smalls2672]

yeah this band does kick ass and absolutely love their first album. however no metal band should be allowed to rock a pink guitar except maybe papa roach cuz they all suck each other off anyway

[ImmortalSpammer]

@Smalls2672 well papa roach is not even metal in the first place. first they were rock for teenage whiny bitches. now theyre just pussies who play emo songs of the day they broke up with their girlfriend. haha fuck those pussies

[havokslayz]

SKELETONWITCH SHIRT! \M//

[Eastsiderock]

Your music is beyond awesome, thanks so much for these most delicious tasty riffs, guitar solis/solos, and badass vocals! you guys are keepin it real, giving me just meat, potatoes and sauce, and at the end of the day that's all I need.

[Oo1Insane1oO]

Wow, only band that can pull off a pink guitar... and still be awesome :D

[poloy098]

for me this is the best melodeath right now.....im a big fan of ta the gates but now the absence rulessss.....

[poloy098]

not inflames...go listen at the gates band...they influece at the gates

[metalmarshall]

pretty damn good, reminds me of early In Flames!

[icthruyounow]

Jesper Stromblad would be proud

[MaelSechlinn]

Mike Amott used to play a pink strat while in Carcass. No shame in a pink guitar, if you're man enough to wield it.

[tigershark421]

@sephmccarty The video doesn't have to be visually appealing, that's for poppy mainstream princesses and queers. Metal vids are perfect the way they are, exposing the talent that these guys have without underlying story lines and cars with 30,000,000 inch rims with hookers and sluts bouncing around. The music speaks for itself.

[stillspiraling]

Two people can't handle having their faces melted off.

[NegAnnihilations21]

This is the shit that bashes your teeth in. Hook'em horns and long live metal!

[THEGATHERING20]

So glad i discovered this band a few years back now, so many people are missing out this bands music, they deserve way more than these shitty core bands.

[K41xMETALCORE]

I can feel the passion and ferocity from the drummers facial expressions...

[CmPunkAndrey22]

good good good

[thebunnysgorawr]

heavy metal!!!!!!!!!!!!



[ImmortalSpammer]

this band is awesome and they need more attention but not too much attention cause then posers will know them

[AP93Playa]

@ImmortalSpammer posers dont care about these kind of metal bands. metalcore and deathcore is their area.

[AspireAndInspire]

@ImmortalSpammer ... you're worried about who discovers the band with the pink guitar?

Grow the fuck up

[ImmortalSpammer]

@AspireAndInspire he was trying to prove a point. he can still shred with a pink gay guitar. you on other hand still look like a faggot even if you cut your gay emo hair

[AspireAndInspire]

@ImmortalSpammer People still use the word "Faggot" past the age of 15?

[ImmortalSpammer]

@AspireAndInspire haha here come the "you're not mature" comments. get the fuck out, please

[AspireAndInspire]

@ImmortalSpammer Oh, it's not a matter of maturity. It's just a matter of being a raging cunt. An ignorant raging cunt at that. And also pointing out that your previous comment was is no way insulting to me, nor did it deviate from my point:

People are going to listen to whatever the fuck they want to listen to, and your opinion on it doesn't mean shit to anybody, you worthless chode

[ImmortalSpammer]

@AspireAndInspire it meant something to you since youre the only person that negatively responded to me. FAIL

[AspireAndInspire]

@ImmortalSpammer It means I like letting people know when they're useless cunts :D

Cheers!

[ImmortalSpammer]

@AspireAndInspire haha nice! i like cunt! cheers!

[AspireAndInspire]

@ImmortalSpammer Who amongst us doesn't? :P

[MetalGuitarChris]

@ImmortalSpammer Pretty sure that makes you something of a poser too.

[ImmortalSpammer]

@MetalGuitarChris i can assure im not one. but i dont follow the bullshit metalhead stereotypes. i dont have long hair and i dont hate jocks or cheerleaders

[ImmortalSpammer]

@bce5150 i have never considered hating the absence. its one of my favorite bands.

[christianmetal17]

@bce5150 Dude, he didnt say he hates them, he ment ''posers'' that listen to them will not appreciate the band as much as we do. Dont hate :/

[spoon149]

@ImmortalSpammer who the fuck uses the term "poser" nowa days, and how can you even be a "poser" when it comes to liking a band

[icthruyounow]

The singer looks like Thomas fuckin Lindberg! +1 from me

[HazyMetalboy141]

goddamn these guys just tear that guitar up! in a good way i mean! lol love this band

[SabbathFan132]

I listened through this bands first album today and thought it was amazing. Before I watched this I listened to a song from their second album and it was even better, which is hard to believe. Now as I listen to this i'm just blown away, this band just gets greater and greater with each album.

Awesome song, Amazing band!

[johngorgis]

thank you based god

[rambo162]

i wonder whos the one fag that didnt like this

skeletonwitch FTW

[MissValkyrieMetal]

I've seen these guys already 12 times and every show is fun and wild these guys. Great musicians! METALBLADE MAKE THEM BIGGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MetalFromTheBled]

Rythm Guitar : Amon Amarth

Solo Guitar : Dark Night of the Scarcrow

Singer : Ovid's withering

Drummer : Blank

Help me find out what T the bass player is wearing and go listen to Ovid's withering !!!!

[uberruckus]

@MetalFromTheBled Skeletonwitch

[psp110]

this band needs more then 5,000 likes on their facebook page

[Xenosapien90]

Everyone check out the band that Jamies reppin, Ovids Withering. They are outta Tampa as well...good shit

[FloridianAsshole22]

@SkullNBoners its because hes that metal

[NNASTYNATE666]

"HE'S GOOD BUT HE'D NEVER BEAT LUCAS.....NOBODY'S BETTER THEN LUCAS...LUCAS IS AWESOME" ----- "I LOVE THE POWER GLOVE IT'S SO BAD"

[WhiteSunRising]

When I listen to this song... I think of atleast 2 different bands. -Darkest Hour, As I lay Dying, :O?

[MadHatterOfMetal]

Quick!The camera mans having a seizure!!! j/k, awsome vid. XD

[ershov666]

The fact that they're wearing Amon Amarth and Skeletonwitch t-shirts makes me very happy

[WhiteSunRising]

@ershov666 I was like... Is that an Amon Amarth t-shirt??? :O

[bce5150]

come to new york for fucks sake

[wintersunfun]

@bce5150 september 20 everygray sabaton the absence power glove grammercyy

[mrwangchung]

These guys are kick ass. I'll never understand why they aren't huge in the metal scene, all 3 of their albums are sick.

[speedhead]

This band is amazing, very underrated anyone know good bands that are similar?

[EyeAmAhab]

@speedhead yeah dude. Amon Amarth, Skeletonwitch, The Black Dahlia Murder, Arsis. And if you like older stuff, The Absence have big influences from Carcass, Testament, Edge of Sanity.

[marinesbustheads]

why did he shave his beard?

[xORION86x]

These guys are amazing. i Just went out and bought the enemy unbound and need to special order the other two albums but just absolutley amazing

[rawg666]

team meat bitches.

[Lesturbed36]

sounds like in flames...i really like it

[ZeAL181991]

awesome shit......... atleast better than all the deathcore bands

brilliant rhythm ...........excellent solos and

simply one of the best death metal around

[TheFamiliarSound]

i like how you idiots keep talking about how "generic" these guys are. if you notice, how many melodic death metal bands are out nowadays? not alot compared to all the hardcore/deathcore bullshit, least the absence doesnt have shitty breakdowns. also even if the absence was a shitty generic deathcore band, they'd still be doing better than your band

[kylesatanspawn666]

snore . . . kinda sounds like arch enemy, so fucking boring

[WinnieCO]

so boring so generic...+1 for the pink guitar though

[AP93Playa]

this band rapes so fucking epically. that pink guitar needs to go though.

[CISvox]

what exactly is generic metal? if i was to call anything generic it would be these new bands coming out and overplaying the same breakdown the last band overplayed.

[Northerfan666]

@CISvox i think its an amalgamation of different awesome sounding metal themes ^^ so regardless what people brand it, it sounds awesome to everyone :D

[TheTeenrocker]

@CISvox Who cares? If someone takes an idea an uses it then surely it sounds good :)

[SoftlyMicro]

good but straight generic metal

[ImmortalSpammer]

lol its fucking hilarious how by the time every band releases their 3rd or 4th album they already "sold out". i agree many bands do sell out but the absence has not sold out and i dont think they will. this album is not as good to me as riders but its still good

[ImmortalSpammer]

jamie (i think thats his name) cut his hair again and now he looks like a metal version of chuck norris. lol this band is awesome

[turtelman1234]

amon amarth shirt!

[rch3579]

i actually met the drummer once... surprisingly he's a better growler than the singer :S

[Maoratia]

@rch3579 But this special growl is what makes this band so awesome :)

[PureHayabusa]

and i just noticed a skeletonwitch shirt fuck yeah :P

[PureHayabusa]

fuck yeah amon amarth shirt

[newt6477]

you have no idea what we did for this video, and they actually had a blast and thanked us a ton.....

[XombieLejon66]

They're pretty much a ripoff of At The Gates. But a damn good one at that.

[lxXMETALXxl]

@XombieLejon66 No... This guitar is actually somewhat complex.

[gothicashoker]

BEARDS!

[myrme01]

Give back the pink guitar to your sister!

[stevoisnowhere]

@myrme01 Dude the Pink Guitar makes it even more Badass!

[lambofgod1965]

This is my favorite metal song now,saw these guys in montreal they kicked totall ass!

[THEGATHERING20]

That one motherfucker who disliked this vid can suck my balls, btw buy this album enemy unbound, fucking amazing, its like listening to 90's Arch enemy with elements of At the gates but perfected lol. fucking awesome!!!

[MoTOwN2014]

if chuck norris went back in time and got gauges and joined a metal band, this would be him

[xxchimakaraxx]

2nd second into the song and i see an amon amarth shirt \m/

[tigereyejr]

Hai gies... Ieik bewbs.

[mysteriousDSF]

pink guitar looks so awesome espeaciallz with those huge dreadlocks

[mysteriousDSF]

that Amon Amarth tee pretty much speaks their style

[MattKondrath]

sounds like 3 inches of blood without singing. me fuckin likey (:

[TheSatanicMistress]

This band, along with Morbid Angel, Death, Atheist, Deicide, and Obituary, make me proud to be from Florida.

[WoWandMetalFTW]

@TheSatanicMistress Haha that's what happens when Morrisound is in Tampa

[antihippie8]

it sounds like arch enemy with a dude singer...

[RAPx0FFxR0CKx0N]

its not loud enough!

[metalback26]

@SkullNBoners he gets away with it because he straight shreds like a cheese grater haha

[SkullNBoners]

I wonder how in the world that guy is getting away with jammin a pink zebra guitar 0.o

What a badass!

[MrJiffyPop100]

@SkullNBoners i think it has something to do with the dreads...

[taylorrichard]

@SkullNBoners He probably got the trick from Alexi Laiho :O

[sugessad]

@SkullNBoners This is how watch?v=6wS5xOZ7Rq8

[TheWetback76]

@SkullNBoners i think you answered your own question sire....cuz he is a badass hahaha

[tigershark421]

@SkullNBoners When you rip that good... I don't think anyone cares :D haha love this band!

[Shinozoku]

@SkullNBoners Once you become a certain level of metal, you are allowed to play pink guitars. Peter is just THAT metal.

[Shinozoku]

@Shinozoku Skeletonwitch, too!

[standindarkness]

@Shinozoku it's a george lynch guitar, whats not to like

[dissonancelobotomy]

gotta love the suhr

[ozzyfanatic92]

how can a band who wears amon amarth shirts not be good?

[metalinmyblood4ever]

1 dislike? myb it was an accident lol gotta love dis band, seen them not too long ago in trenton and they fucking rule havent heard a bad or average song from them, and im sure dat i never will :) all they do is make kickass fucking music !!!!!!! keep it up bros :)

[futuremusician728]

Drummer looks like Kirk Hammett's cousin or something. xD I fucking love these guys though.

[yuoytr]

the song is good until the end solos

in my opinion they sold out to sound more "mainstream"

if anyone would listen to their albums:

from your grave and

riders of the plague

then youd know that they for sure sold out

[RadicalAsshole]

@yuoytr they really sold out. That's why, right now, as we speak, they are touring the U.S> in a shitty old RV with no heat and living off of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Take your music politics and shove them up your ass.

[ResidentStump]

@yuoytr dude i didn't really dig this album but in no way did they sell out they just tried different things. otherwise they'd be making the same album over and over

[lxXMETALXxl]

@yuoytr Or, you could just be a douchebag, but idk.

[MetallicaWizzard]

Anyone else hear this pop noise at 0:56?

[LegionaryBand]

Im loving these Suhr guitars they're using nowadays..

[gorefinder]

At the Gates approves...

[G27dude]

Fuckin awesome! Im diggin the Twilight of the Thunder God shirt too. Justin Bieber movie was great btw. \m/

[metalinmyblood4ever]

@G27dude funny guy lol agree wit u on the shirt tho

[watthecheese]

One of my all time favorite metal bands,,, unbelievably talented!!!

They DEFINATELY deserve more views and fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MireWolf29]

You can definitely hear their Arch Enemy influences in this song, and that's not a bad thing. This is one of my favorite songs on this album!

[DeathMetalMikey]

Why does their vocalist remind me of Cricket from Always Sunny?

[IndianMetalhead]

fuck this is so heavy

[JapanRepresent666]

The Absence has only improved over their last 3 albums. This album has the sound they have been looking for!

[metallikat123]

Im digging tha tNight of the Scarecrow shirt!

[DeathShooterZ]

This song is one of the best I have ever heard! Come on,this band deserves more views!

[seba515]

the vocalist want to look like Tomas Lindberg

[jackmf77]

i wonder if the guy with the pink guitar has ever had a haircut in his life???

[DisturbedFan4AllTime]

Maybe the guy with the pink guitar is a Breast Cancer Awareness supporter?

[trikefearson]

and Iced Earth and Death Angel! nice

[soullessSiIence]

I liked this song because even though it is melodic metal we've all heard before but somehow sounds fresh and original. I personally don't like Arch Enemy a lot, but they're influences here work really well.

[TheHaunted999]

They should have called this song "Arch Enemy Unbound"

[Dylanea]

wow i didnt kno they liked amon amarth

[nuthole80]

not bad!

[smallvile1992]

I was into these guys for a long time.

I'm glad to see they're getting more famous.

[soullessSiIence]

@smallvile1992 you like people getting famous? Don't you like Miley Cirus as well?

[xXCrimsonSecretsXx]

This reminds me of Arch Enemy a lot.

[LORDMRKB13]

@xXCrimsonSecretsXx THEY ARE MUCH BETTER THAN ARCH ENEMY

[Shadowpistoleer123]

Dont forget to buy there album my uncle (Patrick Pintavalle) would be oh so grateful and so i would i

[ssjdopey]

@Shadowpistoleer123 dude! he is your uncle!?!?! he is an amazing guitar player! the absence are one of my new favorite bands and they'll come to dallas where I live in march with malevolent creation! I hope to meet him

[ATHFCMFFT123]

what is that sound at :52 - :54? it sounds like a pop and like it shouldn't be there.

[johnathonkuhn]

yeah the riders of the plague definately had a hevier rythm sound to it, the lead still sounds like an awesome orlando area band. and these guys are some of the biggest trivium haters in the world. if you brought a trivium shirt to their shows theyd let you exchage it for a " The Absence" shirt. kinda neat but i liked the first 2 trivium albums.

[henshaw6758]

the screamer works at Zumiez

[Masternunu]

His hand expressions remind me of Jack Black in School of Rock.

[Vlakkhrist]

From your grave is the shit

[TheObviousTruths]

their new album sounds much different from riders of plague. i think theyre taking a new approach or something

[spartacusis1337]

R.I.P epic beard

[iaconpoint]

Yes they have a very Arch Enemy/early In Flames sound, so what? Don't you like those bands too? This band is just carrying the torch and doing a great job of it. Love em.
