Absence of the Sun

Absence of the Sun is made up of a group of talented musicians that started their journey in the winter of 2005, but did not take on their full strength until 2007, when their unbeatable lineup was put together. This line up of Ned Boxer (vocals), Mark Waller (lead guitar), Matt Roma (Rhythm Guitar), Ep Ramos (Drums), Yjago Desjardins (Bass), and Gilbert Prescott (Keyboards) has already released one album that blew fans away and not only in their hometown of Portland, Maine.

A Symphony of Unheard Words was released in March 2008 and was sold until they ran out of the 1500 copies. The group debated on re-releasing and selling more but decided to go another route and may have been a good choice for them.

The same month of the release of the album the band won a contest that was voted on by fans with a local radio station, WCYY that allowed them to play at the Addroscoggin Arena in front of 2500 people.

Hard work and dedication are just two of the attributes that are helping metal band Absence of the Sun further their success. With three tours to the Midwest and Chicago and back, and five straight down the east coast to Florida and back, the band is raising their fan base and planning many more successful tours to come. With several mini tours in between the band has been able to grow interest in the band allowing them to be releasing another album soon.

In January of 2010 this band took their talent and recorded with Ken Susi of Unearth. This melodic metal will soon be released for free online for all fans to enjoy. The band who wants their fans to love music as much as they do, wanted to share something with them and show them that its about the passion. The energy and intensity that they bring to the stage is sure to come through this album as well to impress metal fans from all over.
