The Florida-based melodic death metallers THE ABSENCE have unveiled a live action lyrics video for “This Consuming Nocturne”, the fourth preview track from the group’s new album Coffinized, which will be released in 2 days, June 25th via M-Theory Audio. Make sure to check out the new lyrics video below.
Vocalist, Jamie Stewart adds:
“With the lyric video for This Consuming Nocturne we went for a silent film visual, coupled with the song’s gloomy, yet triumphant atmosphere. The track itself, also serves in part as a sequel to the song Walking Shadows, released in 2019. Where Walking Shadows speaks of a dark, self-reflective realization, This Consuming Nocturne is about searching through the darkness itself, facing the lonely registers of night. It’s about finding your answers, waiting under the drape of twilight.”
Coffinized is THE ABSENCE‘s follow-up to their 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. Band members also stayed busy with other outside endeavors, with drummer Jeramie Kling manning the kit for VENOM INC., bassist Mike Leon gigging with SOULFLY and CAVALERA CONSPIRACY, and guitarist Taylor Nordberg playing with MASSACRE. Those three band members took the experiences from those touring gigs and reconvened in the studio with Stewart who has also been busy with his other project, Hot Graves, to put together the 11 tracks of pummeling death metal that compose Coffinized.
