Holding Absence Posts New Music Video Online
With less than a week to go until the release of "The Greatest Mistake Of My Life," Holding Absence have revealed a video for their thunderous fourth single "nomoreroses."
Vocalist Lucas Woodland comments "We’re super excited to release nomoreroses on the homestretch before TGMOML comes out next week! The song is definitely a heavier and more progressive track than people have heard from us in a while, which is perfect as it represents just how varied the record is. nomoreroses is lyrically a song about a sour relationship with god, looking at how hard it can be to believe in a god that seemingly doesn’t believe in you."

Holding Absence Reveals New Album Details
Holding Absence have today announced their second album "The Greatest Mistake Of My Life" set for release on April 16th 2021, and have debuted the album's first single "Beyond Belief." In regard to the new single, impassioned frontman Lucas Woodland comments "We are ecstatic to finally unveil 'Beyond Belief' to the world! Just as jumping from black and white into colour is a huge change for our band, we believe the transition into Beyond Belief, and subsequently The Greatest Mistake Of My Life, is similarly significant. Beyond Belief sees our band embracing the 80’s indie-shoegaze era with both arms, while still gripping firmly onto all the sounds that have made us who we are up until now. A song about love, and the fear of permanence - this really is Holding Absence, like you’ve never heard us before."
Watch the stark video for "Beyond Belief" below.
In the band's own words; "This album is about telling stories that are presented through the lens of hindsight, regret and looking back. There are songs that celebrate life when faced with death, and others that speak to the choices we make about how we live our lives. The fear of love, newfound respect for life and the covering up of depression are all subjects that rear their head. The Greatest Mistake Of My Life exercises emotion in many ways, and that was an important thing for us to do, because emotion isn’t rigid – it’s not just love or joy or sadness – it’s a lot of things."
