Blending black metal's most brutal tendencies, the melancholic beauty of classical opera, and melodic death metal's production techniques, Absence Betrayal is carving a niche in the metal world as one of the most savage and creative acts to hail from the Russian scene in the recent years. Emerging in 2018 in the Russian city of Irkutsk in Siberia - the project’s founder, vocalist, songwriter and producer Andrey Baranov decided to go solo after his previous band Escadaia finished its activity - Absence Betrayal is hewing material closer to the symphonic extreme metal aesthetic.
