Wormholedeath Records proudly welcomes ABSCENCE—a symphonic black metal act emerging from the mist-veiled moors of Yorkshire, England—to its international roster. The signing marks a significant milestone for the band, as their debut concept album Enigma is set to be reissued globally through the label.
Enigma is a concept album that chronicles the tragic and immortal love of two vampire women—bound by blood, betrayal, and devotion. It is a gothic love story steeped in myth and moonlight, told across nine long-form tracks that unfold like chapters in a dark epic. The album draws deeply from 90s black metal and gothic metal, yet carves a new identity through elaborate compositions, symphonic elements, layered vocal arrangements, and emotional depth. It rejects modern trends of minimalism, opting instead for grandeur, atmosphere, and unflinching storytelling.
Experience the haunting first chapter with the official video for “Our Love Ignites”:
Formed four years ago, ABSCENCE channels the essence of 90s black metal and gothic metal into a modern yet uncompromising sound. Their music is an immersive experience—blending sorrow, fury, and romantic darkness into sprawling compositions that reject the confines of commercial expectation.
At its heart, ABSCENCE is a band devoted to emotional authenticity and artistic freedom. While the modern industry favors short, formulaic tracks, Abscence deliberately creates long-form songs with complex structures, weaving layered atmospheres and storytelling arcs that take listeners through entire emotional and conceptual landscapes.
With symphonic arrangements, melodic guitars, dual-vocal dynamics, and narrative-driven lyricism, the band creates a sonic world where brutality meets elegance.
