CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Growing up in the shadow of some of the greatest Death Metal acts of all time, Tampa, Florida?s THE ABSENCE are ready to claim their birthright, and reignite the Tampa Death Metal and U.S Death Metal scenes. Meshing the best of European influence with the undeniable southern Death influence, THE ABSENCE has emerged with a new brand of American Death that showcases a vast array of musical metal motivation. Smart arrangements, furious riffs and attention to writing actual songs with masterful instrumentation, set THE ABSENCE apart from many of today?s younger acts. The title track, "From Your Grave" best encapsulates THE ABSENCE; culling the best from masters like IRON MAIDEN, to influences like CANNIBAL CORPSE and pioneers like AT THE GATES. Having already toured with national acts CANNIBAL CORPSE, IMMOLATION, GRAVE, SIX FEET UNDER, MASTODON, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, NAPALM, DEATH, SUPERJOINT RITUAL, DARK TRANQUILITY, UNEARTH, NILE and STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, THE ABSENCE have paid their dues and will take the next step in the natural progression: WORLD DOMINATION.

CD ReviewsThis is how Melodic Death Metal should sound! William S. Seibert | Sarasota, FL, USA | 09/09/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "This band is amazing!!! From Your Grave is their Metal Blade Records debut, but they have been huge in the Tampa Bay Area for quite sometime now. With this release they set the standard on how melodic death should be. They combine so many different elements of the great bands that helped define the genre. The guitar melodies remind me of old In Flames i.e. Jester Race and Colony. While the vocals have that old At The Gates feel to them. But this does not mean the are simply imitating these other bands. They definitely have their own style, and adding their flavor with the best elements of the Gothenburg sound, make this cd pretty close to a Masterpiece! There are no happy sing-a-long choruses here... This is straight up brutal metal. It is really refreshing to hear something like this, when it seems like all the other bands with the exception of Dark Tranquillity, are all softening up. So if you are into old In Flames, Soilwork, At The Gates, Arch Enemy, and Dark Tranquillity definitely go out and pick this cd up! The Absence are going to be the next big thing!!!" Paul Metal King doesn't know anything L. Bazan | Brownsville, Tx USA | 02/08/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Please disregard his review. This cd is amazing. Sounds a bit like old Melodic Death metal you haven't heard since high school. If At the Gates and In Flames had a baby The Absence would be it. From your Grave is a powerful metal cd which captivates your soul with great guitars and superb songwriting.These guys are destined to get really big in a few years.Unearth, Dozen Furies and everyone else doesn't do guitar harmonies as good as these guys . If you like these guys then check out "Against the Elements" from Beyond the Embrace because they sound similar." Guitar players album Noodle metal master | Upstate ny heavy music breeding grounds | 05/06/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "okay no cute stuff here strait to the point... The absence are a breath of fresh air in these days of uninspired metalcore and rehash music. This band fuse's a lot of good things to come up with a sound that defines them. At times they sound like they could be a black metal band or swedish deathmetal with their use of highpitch scream vocals and overlaping guitar harmonies but on the other end they have that american feel with good thrashy riffs and pummeling drums. Good lyrics are found here nothing cheesy no oh you tore my heart out stupid metalcore stuff just pure strait from the soul metal. The most stand out thing on this album tho is the guitar work great solos riffs melodies and harmonies this disc is a great listen if you like melodic fast riffing music and if you want to hear a new fresh band who stands out amongst the rest of these wanna be headbanging clones we see nowdays...(no need to list any names.) bottem line good album that you will spin a number of times. I bought this album 3 months ago and it gets a spin at least 2 times a week."
