- The Absence (meaning of the name, short bio, discography, highlights, …): The Absence means whatever You want it to. It applies to that moment.
You can refer to the website or the Myspace for the OFFICIAL Absence bio
The discography is- 'From Your Grave' released in 2005 and 'Riders of the Plague' to be released on Aug. 7th 2007
Highlights- Touring with Vader & Destruction, doing and seeing our video on tv for the first time, and seeing the country and Canada
- “Riders Of The Plague” (rehearsing / writing process, recording process, label, …): We rehearsed and wrote for 4 months or so, doing our own pre-production thanks to Jeramies basement and Mac. The writing process it self was different from the first album because We had a deadline. This was the first time working with that luring over our shoulders, but I think it brought out a fantastic performance on everyones part.
- Lyrics (influences, subjects, ideas, messages, …): The influences that went into the lyrics, as always, is real life and real struggle. That plays into the subjects as well. My message is always this: Use Your head.. something everyone (Myself included) should do more of.
- Album frontcover / artwork (who, why, meaning, …): It was done by a guy, whos name escapes me right now, but once we saw the picture it just lined up exactly with the title 'Riders of the Plague'.
- Live tour to promote the new record: We will be touring with Cannibal Corpse, The Black Dahlia Murder, The Red Chord, and Goatwhore on the Metal Blade 25th Anniversary Tour all of September in the states.
- Musical (and other) influences: Bay area Thrash, German Thrash, Swedish Metal, Tampa Death Metal, not to mention the daily grind of life.
- Testament’s “Into The Pit”. Why?: We love Testament, and We wanted to pay tribute to one of the best Thrash Metal bands ever.
- Final Message: Thank You for the interview, and look for 'RIDERS OF THE PLAGUE'
on August 7th! Thrash on Metal Heads!!!!
