The Absence Shares "Coffinized" Music Video
The Florida-based melodic death metal quartet The Absence have unveiled a music video for the title track from their forthcoming album "Coffinized." The clip – which premiered last night on Twitch through bassist Mike Leon's channel (www.twitch.tv/MikeLeonShreds) – can be viewed below.
"Coffinized" is the second preview track from The Absence’s upcoming album of the same name, which will be released June 25 by M-Theory Audio.
Says vocalist Jamie Stewart, "We have all been 'Coffinized' at one point or another – trapped in a distant, funerary bubble, obscured under a dark, brooding outlook. As one lingers for a collective exhale, it calls out – a seeping, miserable existence disguised. Such horrors hidden by means of mental escape.

You become a living casket for all of your own bitter frustrations – nailed in and buried alive." More...
