Absent In Body make their Relapse Records debut with the terrifying new album Plague God, out March 25, 2022. Today, Absent In Body share the crushing third single “Rise From Ruins.” “Rise From Ruins” made a special debut this past Sunday, March 6 as part of All Elite Wrestling’s Revolution PPV event. “Rise From Ruins” is the official theme song of the television show’s House of Black group featuring AEW wrestlers Malakai Black, Brody King (God’s Hate) and Buddy Matthews.
Absent In Body’s Mathieu Vandekerckhove Comments:
“The blueprints of most AIB songs were made when I was on tour with Amenra. Because of the long journeys, I had a lot of free time on the bus. Different landscapes every day. The emptiness of the mountains, the desolate empty cities at night…
At one day, when recording the album, I had too much negative news and havoc on my socials shoved into my face. And the riff to this song was an instinctive reaction to that. I fought it off. This song is definitely a reflection of that moment, that day.”
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.
