Abscence Join Wormholedeath for Global Reissue of Concept Album Enigma
Wormholedeath Records is proud to announce the addition of Abscence to their roster. Hailing from the mist-shrouded moors of Yorkshire, this symphonic black metal act is preparing to re-release their debut concept album, Enigma, through the label this fall.
A Dark Gothic Epic Reimagined
Enigma is a nine-track saga chronicling the tragic immortal love between two vampire women. Drawing inspiration from 90s black metal and gothic legends like Cradle of Filth, Abscence delivers sweeping, atmospheric compositions with lush orchestration, layered vocal harmonies, and cinematic arrangements. The album forgoes modern minimalism in favor of grand narratives and emotional heft.
