Inspired by the current pandemic and the ever mutating virus, In Absentia has created this little modern day horror tale about a shapeshifting entity invading our society. The result is a club orientated, energetic EBM track that can fill the dance floors when society opens again after the pandemic and, until that happens, make people dance in their isolation. Included, when purchasing the single on Bandcamp, is a very cool remix by our Swedish friends in Strikkland (
strikkland.bandcamp.com )
In Absentia could celebrate their 30 years anniversary in 2020 and is currently working on a new album called ‘Reanimated’ to be released in the last quarter of 2021.
Shapeshifter lyrics:
Changing
You hide in the open
Everywhere and nowhere
Their will is broken
You infect them with fear
Changing
You are the parasite
They brought upon themselves
As a thief in the night
You enter where they dwells
Shapeshifter
Blend into the crowds
Transmutate
Become one with the shadows
Adaptation
Imitate and convince
Mutation
Spread out your wings
They are deceived
by appearances
They do not conceive
But leave them in distress
In the darkness
All cats are grey
Try to lay sleepless
Keep nightmares at bay
Changing
You hide in the open
Everywhere and nowhere
Their will is broken
You infect them with fear
Changing
You are the parasite
They brought upon themselves
As a thief in the night
You enter where they dwells
Shapeshifter
Blend into the crowds
Transmutate
Become one with shadows
Adaptation
Imitate and convince
Mutation
Spread out your wings
