ABSENCE OF THE SACRED Recording New Album

June 12, 2009

Frontman Mike Priest of Singapore-based death/thrash metallers ABSENCE OF THE SACRED has issued the following update:

"[DAATH drummer] Kevin Talley — who has previously recorded and/or toured with DYING FETUS, CHIMAIRA, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, THE RED CHORD, HATE ETERNAL, M.O.D., MISERY INDEX and SUFFOCATION — has finished tracking the drums in the U.S. for our third full-length album, and we will be entering Snakeweed Studios (in Singapore) late next week to begin tracking the guitars and vocals.

"The drums sound really killer so far and this will be the best album ABSENCE OF THE SACRED has done to date, solid coalescence of death, thrash and black metal with a progressive edge.

"We will be uploading videos on the making of 'Come Hither O Herald Of Death' on our MySpace from next week onwards, so keep an eye out for that."

01. To Delve In Dreamless Sleep
02. Enslave Fire
03. The Quandary of Flesh
04. Oracle
05. Veneration Unorthodox
06. Perpetual Decline
