Absence Of

About Me

Absence Of was born from its name. Vinícius Möller’s previous prog metal band Hiléia was one week from breaking up (even though he didn’t know it) when he had this idea about a band called like that. So it was natural that, after Hiléia broke up, he instantly started another project with that name.
This matched with the fact that Ektapang, another prog metal band, was about to end, so that Vinícius had success on inviting Orontes Mariani and Chantós Mariani to join his new band. Arthur Avila, who was already singing in Indryia, accepted the mic spot right after. And a few months later, Daniel Ruschel turned out to be the last Ektapang to join the line up.
Absence Of is now finishing a pack of their 7 first songs. You can already listen to five of those here. Just push play.

Whos come for good.

After a very long waiting, we have finally arrived to the final mixing with Valmor. Who? has become a challenge for the knobs, but the song became, maybe, more beautiful than we imagined it. You're no...

Warm days come to those who... wait.

After these two first tracks we're gonna take a little break. At least on the song release. Valmor is buying some new equipment, so he'll be able to achieve much higher mixing/mastering edges soon.As ...
