On June 26th, ENOX released their newest single “The Shape Of Absence,” a song that expresses that dark void you might feel when trust is broken with someone which causes that emotional turmoil within yourself. When trust is broken, as an individual, you tend to lose yourself because your mind is consistently in that mode where you know you need to heal, but the pain is creating a blurry wall that is preventing you from moving forward. “The Shape Of Absence” is a single that is filled with just clean vocals which is different, but at the same time it truly captures the emotional resonance and creates that image of what a person might feel dealing with this type of situation. The single shows that pain and healing can be expressed in a softer tone. What ENOX did with this song shows how versatile this band is. “The Shape Of Absence” is a cinematic piece because as you watch the official video, you can sense compressed silence with the vocals that expresses that emotional space, but the instruments bring the song into that atmospheric soundscape that enhances the textures of the vocals. We are used to ENOX having that raw and aggressive sound to them; “The Shape Of Absence” encourages others to become more diverse within their sound to create music that others will enjoy. ENOX showed their current fans and new ones that bands can divert to a different sound and still be successful.
“This song comes from trying to make sense of one’s absence when trust is broken. It’s about the in-between space—where you’re stuck between pain and healing, and losing your sense of self through the hurt. It’s the closest I’ve come to putting into words how one’s silence can cause so much chaos within.” – Michael Guevarez
