Well Alot of people have written us asking how the drummer search is going.

We had some good drummer's show up to the audition on the 3rd. We video taped all of them and watched the videos. After all the audition's we found a guy who just nailed the songs very well and we have been rehearsing with him every week since. His name is Justin Reynolds.  The kid is wicked good and keeps time very well without a click track. That is a quality you dont find often in a drummer. So now that the drummer search is over, Get ready for The Absence to start touring again and bringing head banging metal to your town!

We are all excited and feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of our shoulders. We cant wait to hit the road soon. Thanks to all the drummer's who came out to the audition. We appreciate your efforts.

-Patrick
