Holding Absence - The Angel In The Marble

[@slippyfrogTV]

In the midst of the hardest chapter of my life, can’t say I’ve read lyrics that hit closer to home.

[@ankhvivid6897]

Hope your doing better brotha!! Still come back to this song when those memories hit hard… sure you’ve become better then ever before my dude… works of art in the making… don’t give up 🫡🫶🏼

[@mylife1221]

"I learned from my flaws and I cut myself open Glued myself better; golden, unbroken Now all I have left is a handful of hope And a thousand laments that I can't leave unspoken" Those are some of the most beautiful, intricate, masterfully crafted lyrics the scene has ever seen. A magnum opus. An œuvre d'art.

[@joshuabates38]

"Nobody could hurt me the way I've hurt myself" that's real.

[@ZdotADTRfan2012]

Fuck this song destroyed me. The entire last section had me in shambles. 😢😢😢

[@briancavanaugh5436]

“Look at my scars, they are beautiful, they held me together when I wanted to let go…..” I’m not crying, you’re crying (but I am crying too….)

[@bearnbunnyrl]

the next kintsugi line fits so perfectly with these too, fr my fav lyric on the album

[@MtDewgirl09]

Stawp it 😭

[@PatrickGowen-cp2mu]

E very time

[@bendooley550]

We all cut onions here.

[@KreshDraven6]

Lucas voice man...What a talented guy

[@WutTheMatt]

A lot of good music coming out this week.

[@snakeeyes9246]

Tempt, Holding Absense, The Word Alive, Asking Alexandria, Of Mice & Men, Spiritbox, and Beartooth are the names that come to mind for me.

[@hp6964]

Hot Milk came out with their debut album too if y’all hadn’t heard of them. I’ve liked them for a few years now and they’re good

[@marcosro5891]

This song needs a music video, is amazing and beautifull

[@JuliJuni-xx9tw]

Yup this is art

[@thelightyears_]

Whole album is great but this is a simply outstanding track, both musically and lyrically.

[@andreasmarcoulis2479]

This is my favourite song for 2023!! THANK YOU so much for this beauriful song! Leave a like/comment to re-listen please!!

[@loganwelty7094]

Th whole album is a masterpiece, but man this song is something special. Bravo Holding Absence boys!

[@Poscre]

Going from Penance to this is a whole journey,what an incredible song

[@sophiaaddams]

i feel like the trio of penance, the angel in the marble, and celebration song tell such a story

[@imperialdemon5648]

I also found them with Penance,the difference in energy is fulfilling

[@patbateman8116]

“i’ll merge the man i was hoping i could be with the man that i am, the noble art of self destruction guiding my hand. I am a puzzle, i am a painting, i am a work of art in the making” these are in my top 5 lyrics of all time, they’re really saving me right now.

[@markpowell9042]

Wow. Just wow

[@taurusprince89]

Nobody could hurt me the way that I’ve hurt myself…that hit different when you have been threw pain😢

[@vDfo]

It should be illegal to create something this good. Long may the tradition of 6 minute closer classics continue

[@MasterSteelElf]

Try Dead Poetic "Vices," if you haven't heard it. It's another closer classic

[@bearnbunnyrl]

mourning song 🔛🔝

[@Kelescope]

I'm never going to forget this album.

[@romance3110]

Hearing this song live in Berlin (November 4th, 2023) was wonderful. Thank you for the great evening ❤❤❤

[@StevenTyler-lb4dv]

Just watched them perform in Las Vegas last night and they are even better live. They closed with this song and had me in tears. Can't wait to see them again

[@MisbegottenFool]

I'm a little late to the party here, but I just gotta say this album completely caught me off guard in the last couple days of 2023 and I ended up changing my aoty list to include this. Also these lyrics are extremely powerful and vulnerable and the melodies and vastness of ambience in their sound is to die for. I am in awe of this band.

[@MasterSteelElf]

This is the best album ending I've heard since Dead Poetic "Vices," which is high praise. This is gut-wrenching and emotionally raw in the best possible ways. It really hits home in the low times. "The noble art of self-destruction guiding my hand.. I'll merge the man that I was hoping I could be with the man that I know that I am." WOW

[@snakeeyes9246]

Phenomenal album guys! I loved every second of it.

[@nickolasyounkins1471]

Never heard of these guys before and recently watched them perform on the senses fail tour and they were amazing! I've listened to this song hundreds of times since the show and it hits me just as hard every time. Hats off fellas

[@samymantha1985]

Powerful,sad and soooo beautiful

[@jman1276]

This is easily their best and most complete album to date. Holding Absence hit it out of the park with this one!

[@williamsoto7208]

This is truly something special. Bravo boys bravo. You put your heart and soul in this album. And it shows.

[@kamillewest8339]

I saw these guys in Chicago, what a great concert, they got the crowd moving and everyone was engaged! I will buy tickets to see them again, such a great band. They work so well together. His voice is incredible

[@juannava426]

Masterpiece, Wilt vibes

[@lucasanastassiou2241]

For me, this is the best song about trying to improve and being hard as hell on oneself to ever have existed and will ever exist. It's months from album release and I still frequently play it on repeat. Lucas means every word he sings more than anyone I've ever heard, those synths are gorgeous and the way the drums are simple and just gradually build in intensity through that middle to end section... I'm lost for words. It all works so well together. Many songs will come out but this song will remain a staple in my music enjoyment for the rest of my life.

[@LouiseBaxter-ld7ok]

That is deep but beautiful ❤

[@Thundeross]

This song is so enchantingly pretty

[@davidnelsonbradsher1381]

What a closer. I'm emotionally knackered after this journey.

[@ghostkids4]

this is an anthem for all those who are trying to heal and move on from trauma and pain

[@aleckoshki8093]

This song couldn't have come at a better time in my life

[@Exuvium97]

Saw this live last night 9/3/23 in Mesa, Arizona. It was even more beautiful live. Thank you for coming down. Waiting for a headline US tour eventually!!

[@yoyoh7]

Only 13k views? People don’t like real music these days. One of the most meaningful and beautiful songs I’ve heard.

[@madilynn_rocky2644]

the lyrics 😭🖤 I've been listening to this whole album on repeat since it came out

[@ryanvanderschaegen2024]

Wow.

[@reginald6643]

This song broke me.

[@pulvenberg1709]

You've got yourself a fan.

[@kailkail8483]

thanks for returning to your old sound. Much like!

[@iblastyou4819]

This really sounds like Wilt 2.0

[@patrickzelechowski3414]

Fuck that song hit live harder than wilt 😭

[@yuryshin2683]

Це дійсно гарна музика. Якась і мажорна і хвилююча. Ви гарні музиканти.

[@sophiebudde1550]

[@GabrielGarcia-dd6ju]

this song just killed me

[@kesopannn]

This precious song and Immolation of Night by Invent Animate are saving my spirit and ass rn

[@paco1669]

Love this!

[@baratox1]

🇧🇷🔥

[@daltonevans3412]

It's an absolute sin that this only has 5k views in 2 days, this released on August 25th and that same day 3 other albums and several singles released in the metal scene and they all were a let down except a couple of the singles, and for this album.

[@John_Ace04]

it's like you are today's 30 seconds to mars when they were still cool. It's just my opinion guyz. Don't hit me. 😂

[@ghostkids4]

oh yeah i used to love 30stm in their old days, and their lyrics used to be so good too :(

[@bendooley550]

Same vibe. I feel it.

[@bladedragon8733]
