The Absence
The Absence is an American melodic death metal band from Tampa, Florida. Their style has been described as aggressive thrash metal with Scandinavian metal influences. They were previously signed to Metal Blade Records.
History
The band released an eponymous EP in 2004 entitled, The Absence, and followed up with their debut album, From Your Grave, in 2005. The band's second album, Riders of the Plague, was released in 2007. The album was praised in a review for finding an "interesting balance" between the genres death metal and thrash metal. In 2007, bassist Micheal Leon joined the band. Drummer Jeramie Kling left the band that same year and was temporarily replaced by drummer Chris Pistillo from the Tampa death metal scene. The band recruited Justin Reynolds as their new drummer in early 2008.
The Absence stated in late 2008 that they would be entering the studio to record a new album in March 2009. Due to time constraints and touring duties, the band said they would enter the studio on September 10 since the original date "wasn't the right time." The band delayed the recording of the album again and later entered Mana Recording Studios on November 2, 2009 to record Enemy Unbound. Their third studio album, Enemy Unbound was released on September 14, 2010. Jeramie Kling rejoined the band during summer 2010. On September 27, 2010, The Absence released their music video of "Enemy Unbound" from their eponymous album Enemy Unbound. As of January 1, 2013 guitarist Peter Joseph parted ways with The Absence. On the 22nd of January 2013 it was announced that Per Nilsson of Scar Symmetry had joined the band.
The Absence (Melody Gardot album)
The Absence is the third studio album by American jazz singer-songwriter Melody Gardot, released on May 29, 2012 by Verve Records and produced by Heitor Pereira.

This song appeared in a French re-release of "The Absence" which also included a music video and the making of the same track.
Commercial reception

A Breath Beneath
by: The AbsenceI fell so low on the long way home
Sinking ever steadily waiting for this heart to stop in between where
We die far from this long goodbye
Emptiness
Where we fall drifting apart
Facing the end with regret
I cannot [2X]
Shadows weaken starting to stir
A motion in deception begins to blur
I'm focusing on things I can't end
Broken ties and wounds that won't mend
To the city of ghostly statues
And a broad feeling of clamor
I'll step to the edge and push ten long until the words hit just like a hammer
Emptiness
Where we fall drifting apart
Facing the end with regret
I cannot [2X]
And all that I have ever loved has now turned empty and all that I have
Ever kept, is in this long goodbye
When You fall, I will fall with Heaven in between this breath beneath
When You fall, I will fall with Heaven in between this breath beneath
I bid farewell to this year long wrapped in wings To the shameless, to
The faceless, You will forever remain... nameless
