We appreciate it a whole hell of alot. I just wish you guys were at any other show than that one. That particular show was advertised for 7:00pm but they started it at 6:00 for some reason. The tour was great and we were playing in front of 750-1000 people every night. The shows were insane and the fans were awesome. The NYC was the worst one because of the poor scheduling. I had many people coming up to me after the show and asking why we played so early. I saw the flyers they had that said doors at 7:00. That pissed me off but theres nothing you can do about it. That's show buiz I guess. I am glad you guys were there and once again I appreciate the write up. -Cheers! Thanks alot for writing about us. We appreciate it a whole hell of alot.

Fortunately for them that was Testament's best album. Not entirely surprising considering the Testament shirts I see band members wear. I guess if you thought the Gathering was the shit, you'll love the Absence. This sounds exactly like Testament’s The Gathering. Fortunately for them that was Testament’s best album.

I saw them in San Francisco a few weeks ago and I thought they were generic and shitty. The singer was half-assedly headbanging to the wrong beat and the best part of their set was when they closed with Testament's Into the Pit. Hmm . . .

The Absence own! Looks like the vocalist trimmed his unruly beard a bit too close though. Anyway, Their frist record was pretty european melodicaly (of the swedish variety) influenced if you ask me, which you didn't, and riders of the plague just owned!!! Heck yea!!! The Absence own!
