| HOLDING ABSENCE have announced the release of their eagerly anticipated third album, The Noble Art Of Self Destruction. Serving as the third and final entry in a trilogy that began with 2019’s Holding Absence, The Noble Art Of Self Destruction will be released on 25th August via SharpTone Records. In the wake of the album announce, the band comments “Today, we are pleased to announce the third Holding Absence album ‘The Noble Art of Self-Destruction’ will be released on August 25th 2023! After an insanely busy and fulfilling album cycle for our second record, last October we spent a month in Jukasa Studios Canada, to record more new music. This record – the third in a trilogy – is by far our most conceptually rich and expansive body of work to date. We feel like these songs are almost a love letter to everything Holding Absence, and can’t wait to show everybody just how much space we have managed to cover, and how hard we were able to push ourselves with these songs.” Purchase and pre-save The Noble Art Of Self Destruction now at: https://bfan.link/the-noble-art-of-self-destruction To coincide with the announcement, the band have released a beautifully stylised video for the album’s second single ‘False Dawn’. On new single ‘False Dawn’ the band comments “We are ecstatic to be dropping our brand new single ‘False Dawn’ today. This is definitely a personal favourite for all of us on the record! A somewhat defeatist song about denouncing expectations, and coming to grips with failure – this song is a quintessential Holding Absence song, with it’s uptempo energy and downtrodden introspection. We hope you enjoy!” Watch the video for ‘False Dawn’ and stream the single on all platforms now at: https://bfan.link/false-dawn |
