Background notes
Archive material and source history
ABSENS formed in Londrina, Paraná in the early 2000s with Carlos Marques on vocals, João Pimentel on guitar, João Valente on bass, and Matheus Rocha on drums. They worked through financial limitations and industry indifference while building a following with raw lyrics about depression, addiction, and social injustice.
Their 2009 album 'Defeitos' brought them national attention, with the title track becoming an anthem for listeners who felt excluded. The band's sound incorporated alternative rock, post-hardcore, and Brazilian folk elements on later albums like 'Eu Sou a Maré' and 'Fôlego'.
ABSENS has seen lineup changes over time, with Marques remaining as the only original member. The current lineup includes Guilherme Guimarães on guitar, Matheus Alves on bass, and André Nobre on drums. They've collaborated with artists including Criolo and O Rappa.
