In Absentia

Founded in 1990 In Absentia was part of the early Danish electronic body music movement. In Absentia was started by Henrik Marx and Sune Groule, shortly after followed by Michael Ellwood and Tommy B-Kuhlmann. After releasing a bunch of demo tapes In Absentia signed their first full-length CD contract in 1993 with Hard Records, and subsequently released 2 more albums, of which one was licensed to German Subtronic Records. During the years In Absentia was also well-represented on compilations globally. After the release of the debut album, Absence, Michael Ellwood left the band. In 1996 the band was too occupied with other matters than music, and decided to split up. Tracks for a forthcoming album, Link, had been prepared, but the band members decided that it was time to stop the game and the album was ditched. In 2012 the first spark of life reignited as In Absentia showed op on the tracklist for the german band Blitzmaschine's EP "Useless Pain", with a remix of the track "Vorwärts". First new track in 16 years 'Sound Zero (Cybersonic Mix)' was presented on the Danish compilation Cyberworld XX that was released 20th October 2012. A handful of remixes for prominent bands followed before the band went into hiatus again in 2014. Celebrating the band's 30 years anniversary in 2020, the band returned in full force, releasing singles on Tinnitorturous and working on the first new album in 28 years called 'Reanimated', to be released in 2023. The band will be back on stage again in 2023 - for the first time since 1995! Today the members are Henrik Marx and Tommy B-Kuhlmann.
