Absent Society is a five-piece metal band out of Oakland, California. Formed by vocalist Jason, along with Guitar players Justin and Matt, and drummer Mike in 2003. Absent Society's fan base has continued to grow ever since, with their unique sound and approach to metal reaching new listeners everyday. The first Absent Society demo, released in June 2004, received enthusiastic reviews and also received airplay on local Bay Area radio stations. The CD was recorded at The Plant Studios (studio A) in Sausalito, CA with Engineer Justin Phelps.
Absent Society is now promoting their latest demo EP, "The Plastic Parade" (released June 3, 2005). Independently produced and funded by Absent Society, the band met up with Justin Phelps, this time at Hyde St. Studios (Studio C) in San Francisco. The EP has drawn early comparisons to Mudvayne, Dillinger Escape Plan, American Head Charge, and early Faith No More. Following the release of their latest EP, the band added Ian to the role of bass player and hit the road on “The Luxury of Ignorance” tour through the Northwestern United States. The band’s high energy shows gave them a foothold in the region, selling CD's and merchandise and making new fans at every show. Upon their return, Absent Society began auditioning new guitar players due to the departure of longtime bandmate and friend Matt Haynes.
The band, with Tony as the replacement guitarist, has been hard at work on new material which will be featured on the next release in 2007. Having had much success in California, Absent Society is poised to tour throughout the United States, bringing their unique sound to new audiences nationwide.
