THE ABSENCE werden das Mana Recording Studios in St. Petersburg, Florida am 2. November betreten, um ihr drittes Album einzuspielen. Erscheinen wird es Anfang 2010 via Metal Blade Records. Gitarrist Patrick Pintavalle sagt "We will be tracking with Brian Elliot and mixing duties will be handled by Jonas Kjellgren (SCAR SYMMETRY, CARNAL FORGE). We are all very excited to get this record out and to begin touring again as soon as possible."
