Absent (vt) on purevolume™

Hardcore / Metal

Originally named the Phukkrz, Absent met adversity from the beginning. When their first show was almost ended before it began because their name was deemed inappropriate, they did something many wouldnt; they put their music before their egos. They took on a new alias, recognizing that what was important was being heard, being appreciated for their talent, a talent that would garner appreciation under any name. As luck would have it, in a hurried stumble for a new title, they happened upon a powerful one. Absent took the stage and has been blowing the doors off of Metals norms ever since.

With a unique mixture of pulse pounding beats and ear-soothing harmony, Absent shows the world why Metal is cool again. Brad demonstrates his tremendous vocal range while rounding out Todds guitar riffs, with Chris providing his years of experience and recording engineers ear to the bands sound, all the while pounding away at the Ludwig drums and Sabian cymbols that surround him. These three Green Mountain Boys do more than rock, they give Vermonters something to be proud of.
