Metal Blade Records has officially inked a worldwide deal with the

"We are very excited to be on METAL BLADE RECORDS, a label we have all
grown up listening to and look forward to joining the ranks of such heavy
hitters as AMON AMARTH, KING DIAMOND, CANNIBAL CORPSE, THE CROWN and so many
other great metal bands." The Absence
“It is a pleasure to add THE ABSENCE to the Metal Blade Records
roster. Their aggressive form of metal is fresh and heavy. They must put
something in that Florida water, because they follow in the footsteps of
SFU, Cannibal Corpse, and our young band Into the Moat in presenting a fresh
new sound to metal.” Mike Faley President of Metal Blade Records
