☢️ IN ABSENTIA Resurfaces with Long-Lost “Enola Gay” Cover After 30 Years

A forgotten EBM gem revived from the archives—out April 18th via Tinnitorturous

Originally recorded in 1995, IN ABSENTIA’s fierce electro cover of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark’s iconic anti-war anthem “Enola Gay” is finally seeing the light of day. After spending three decades entombed on a DAT tape, the track has been digitally restored, remastered, and will be released April 18th, 2025 as a pay-what-you-want download via Bandcamp.

🎧 A long-lost relic from the early Danish EBM scene returns—louder, sharper, and more relevant than ever.

💣 From Vault to Victory

Founded in 1990, IN ABSENTIA became a cornerstone of Denmark’s early EBM movement, releasing two full-lengths and a mini-album before disbanding in 1996. Their cover of “Enola Gay” was never officially released—until now. Unearthed and mastered for a new generation, it pulses with vintage urgency and freshly polished grit.

🧛 Back from the Shadows

Since reigniting in 2012 and returning fully in 2020 to celebrate their 30th anniversary, the band has steadily reissued old material and unveiled new sonic assaults through Tinnitorturous. In 2024, they performed live for the first time in nearly three decades at Rust, Copenhagen, and 2025 sees the launch of two brand-new albumsReanimated and Resurrected—along with festival performances across Europe including Familientreffen in Germany.
