ABSENT IN BODY - Plague God [FULL ALBUM STREAM]

[@relapserecords]

1. Rise From Ruins (00:00) 2. In Spirit In Spite (05:31) 3.Sarin (13:41) 4. The Acres/The Ache (19:38) 5. The Half Rising Man (28:14) ABSENT IN BODY make their Relapse Records debut with the terrifying new album Plague God. Featuring current and former members of AMENRA, NEUROSIS, and SEPULTURA, Plague God is bound by the same ideals of unity and fearlessly uncompromising honesty of expression that have driven their respective bands to imperious heights of reverence and groundbreaking sonic deliverance. Plague God is by turns devastating and sublime, drawn from musicians for whom life and art are inextricably bound. Initially the brainchild of AMENRA guitarist Mathieu J. Vandekerckhove, and NEUROSIS vocalist/guitarist Scott Kelly, ABSENT IN BODY formed in 2017. Immediately recognising their kinship, and with AMENRA frontman Colin H. Van Eeckhout brought in on vocals and bass, what emerged is a reflection of the intervening years of turbulence, extending it's scope as it navigates across five stretches of unstable terrain. From the opening Rise From Ruins with Sepultura drummer, Igor Cavelera’s tribal beat emerging from foreboding, near-subsonic oscillations to explode in a tide of corrosive riffs and feral howls, through Sarin’s steadfast, procession-through-purgatory groove, to The Half Rising Man’s matrix of organic/mechanic evolution, it’s an album in constant dialogue between the animalistic, the human and the industrial, and a hunger to distill a truth, something unpolluted from the fray. Plague God doesn’t just give voice to these moments of truth, but in the band’s deep kinship integral to every claustrophobic judder, every stretch of atmospheric dread and helpless alias assumed, lies a freedom we both forget and attain at our peril.

Thanks Relapse.

[@BrunoGaiaFR]

This my dear friends is fu%*ng heavy! Bravo ! Love it, ordered it, will play that loud in me car until the whole fuk%in neighbourhood bleeds from the ears!

[@jtlemay4878]

one of the heaviest albums to drop in awhile. they really re-thought what it means to be heavy instead of pushing a genre.

[@jmaaybraak]

Yes sir

[@realitycheck6777]

Well said, mate. This is the best band Ive heard in a long time.

[@mikeb6085]

Like a tidal wave of thick sludge enveloping everything in its path

[@shaunobrien6425]

This is the closest any music has come to how I feel inside. Please make more. Seriously this is something new that has no label and is ground breaking don't let it die here.

[@mikeb6085]

damn you okay bro? Hope you're feeling better nowadays

[@jaimeribeiro4322]

I need a shirt from this band! Going to wear it with pride!

It is absolutely a drug, one that breaks your head and you repeat it as many times as necessary. this stuff is amazing

[@dominiqueheadcharge5664]

I am back. I am addicted to this album.

[@benjaminvullers2359]

This album floored me. It hints at everything I love musically. Killing Joke, Swans, Dead Can Dance, Godflesh, O.L.D., Planks. Magnifique!

[@Jawar_84]

Just amazing...

[@flynnleehale1187]

[@the6ig6adwolf]

This album is bonkers good (reminds me of late 80's Ministry) definitely one of my favorite releases so far this year 🤘

[@Ryfitz78]

Right?! Cavelera's drum have a Tool feel and the album feels like if Al and Trent got together to write the music and Manson showed up and they started smoking toad venom. Twisted, brutal..I love it

[@inception8]

What about early God Flesh and Pitchshifter. Pitchshifter Submit - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYDUp6qKpK2IpNE

[@saraivatoledo1842]

Can´t get enough of this and I´m that guy who instantly disparages each and every "super group " as marketing bait rubbish.

[@fmlAllthetime]

Dude, cause like Fantomas, this is good. Beyond that, this shit heavy as FUCK. Like sounds like a fuckin elevator to hell lmao

[@jbasti227]

One of the best supergroups I’ve heard in a while. Really draws from all the members’ bands and plays to their strengths well.

[@nyaade]

Superb.

[@johnnyblack2125]

All I can say about this is "Thank You " anything else would be verbose. 🤘

Heaviness, desperation, sensitivity, slowness. This album puts together in 40 minutes everything I like to hear in an industrial metal album. 🤘💀🤘

If Guts’ life had a theme song.

[@marcinw.37]

sick, mysterious, masterpiece, darkness, strength, weight ...

[@asherlocketz7542]

The sound of the apocalypse unfolding in slow motion; the type of Industrial Metal malevolence that simmers and seethes with menace and impending doom. I absolutely adore the dense layering, glacial pacing and despair infused ferocity herein. This will undoubtedly be one of my absolutely favorite slabs of smolder released this year. Admittedly I am smitten.

[@asherlocketz7542]

@Virgilio Lamaignere de Menezes Thank you for the kind words. Music such as this inspires such descriptive wordplay. What a seriously scorching piece of sonic art. Absolutely awe inspiring.

[@lorddevilfish5868]

This is the soundtrack of God dying, falling to Earth, and.... The aftermath.

[@813lynch4]

23:59 forward, those guitar notes & drums are so hypnotic . This is impossible to choose a favorite song, this album flows so perfectly that its just 1 long masterpiece of a song. Props to everyone involved in this album, I've found it to be truly therapeutic and calming. Respect from Albany NY 🤘

[@necromaniac682]

🔥🔥😈🔥🔥

[@jenfei6998]

I love this album giving the metal/ industrial music a kind of modern sound. I don't listen to industrial music for a long time, but I can't help myself to listen to these masters who make the art of industrial music to another level.

[@sepiarain]

This is a sum of its terrifying parts.

This album sounds like purgatory and going cold turkey on heroín. I have to balance It with NOFX por something.

It took way too long to prepare myself to listen to this but suddenly the time was right and holy shit. Hoping to see them hit stages worldwide and UK soon, I also spy a Roadburn special..... Please!?

[@jeffxdahmer]

Don't think they will be touring at all. Kelly has had retired from music carrier after he admitted to phisical and mental abuse on his family. Because of that reason Neurosis is no more as rest of the band don't want to have anything to do with Kelly.

[@ileutur6863]

@@jeffxdahmer Neurosis hasn't stated a definite breakup. They can very much carry on without him

[@xFlavusx]

@@ileutur6863 I don't think it's possible. Kelly was an essential member and founder. Yet again, look at Static-X and how they treated the death of Wayne. We'll see.
