The Absence Live

[Whathuhwhowhere]

I first saw these guys open for amon amarth when i was 16 it was my first metal concert, i walked in and they were first to play, ive been a fan ever since

[broke123]

[metal0artist0kyle]

September 12, Enemy Unbound. yes.

[italia10588]

Is that jeremie kling on drums?

[saboomify]

read the description

[drgoregrinder]

the resurrection of melodic death metal

[ItBlobs]

Finally, a "melodic death metal" band making melodeath music! I'm looking at you In Flames!

[guschamber]

yeah totally agree,these lads are tight on live shows...fuckin tight

[Vandrandelik]

Looks like the vocalist gained a few pounds....hehe.

[ILikeToColourRed]

cough guitarist cough

[speedfreak18ish]

riders of the plaugue is an epic album and they seem really tight live, cant wait for a new album..... its also a shame i live in england cos they rarely come over.

[SuperIby]

Yeah, same :-/

[saboomify]

Enemy Unbound is their newest album, they started recording in November and we can expect it to be out early this year :D

[lwd8ball]

the melodies this bad incorporates are so fukn tight , i have yet to see another band do as well with melody as this one

[mordenmordenmorden]

inflames? listen to the albums whoracle and jester race

[lwd8ball]

in flames is a preety good band as well bro..

[deftdrummer]

I agree with you guys, IF is definitely awesome, and pioneered some of the shit that The Absence is doing. On the other hand, In Flames' Jester Race is a little dated sounding, especially in the quality of the recording. Riders Of The Plague sounds unbelievable. Almost too good too be true all across the board. I think most any real metal head would agree.

[lwd8ball]

ya there are a lot of bands with great melody. But i think none base their music style on the pure melody sounds like the absence. just my opinion though

[skitzoification]

i saw them on the metal blade tour, i was amazed by their live prowess(i was aggravating people who wouldn't pit). i read pintavilles blogs on a daily basis, and he sheds some light on why their aren't on tour. it sucks, i want to see them again.

[jayinflames]

TONIGHT in Montreal with Amon Amarth!!!

[inkslinginkris]

peter and his fucking long ass hair. dread lock mofia and del taco cunt

[ozricus]

No joke! I ran into these guys at Del Taco tonight in Warren, MI. I was eating with my wife and younger son, I had no idea who they were, never heard of the band. I finally asked the bass player while we were refilling our drinks and he told me to find them on MySpace... it's a small world.

[sinforblood90]

The first song is actually Riders of the Plague. :D! The last minute and 5 seconds is where this video comes in. :D!

[Eshkol2]

I was There

[deincov]

im seeing them open for Amon Amarth live in October along with Ensifurem, and belphegor... im just going for amon amarth xD but im searching these bands see if i like them.... they are pretty doog

[mowhawkdude]

fuck yeah I'm seeing them too on Sunday!

[sceptikart]

incredible band. one of the greatest melodic death bands in the whole universe.

[zenomicron]

Ummm there thrash metal

[sceptikart]

@zenomicro: you amuse me. is it so hard to make a research on net before you say such stupid afirmations? grow up

[konjuno]

*sigh*. Fail.

[zenomicron]

Im sorry i just thought they were Thrash Metal sorry I was wrong!!!!

[SintheticEmpire]

they do claim to be thrash metal, so the mistake is common.

[Warmoose76]

Hahahaha they claim they're thrash?

[SintheticEmpire]

indeed they do.

[AwakeAudio]

Who gives a fuck what the genre is, its awesome.

[midihc]

its not your daddy's thrash

[lemonshank]

[prowler106]

[GarcianSmith891]

it was because they were opening. and people never give it up for the opener for some unreasonable reason.

now, when people actually show up to see the absence, you know its gonna be fucking sick.

[XenEater]

fuck them......of course there was the opening show at the showcase where insomnium played before scar symmetry..............they cheered insomnium on lol.....still gay that nobody shows respect to the openers

[DeathcoreDude]
