Depth. Grounded. Organic. Unique !!! These are the best terms to describe the ABSENT/MINDED sound ! After 4 years of band history, its still the same! In early 2013, the songwriting for the next Longplayer was finished. End of March the Band entered the WOODSHED Studio by V. Santura (Dark Fortress, Trypticon), to record the next Album. 'EARTHTONE', has seven new songs and comes out in Summer 2013. Step forward, away from classic „Melodic Death Metal“. Also the „Doom“ is not the most importand Sound. In 'EARTHTONE' you can hear more of „Postcore/Post Metal“ and „Sludge“. 　　So unique as the musicians, so unique is the sound of ABSENT/MINDED
