Holding Absence - Wilt (Live at the Heavy Music Awards 2020) 

Easily one of the most passionate performances I've ever seen.

I have lost count on how many times I've come back to watch this, sometimes every day. IT IS INCREDIBLE

That kid is singing in four different octaves which means he probably has six or seven octave range that's fucking nuts. So awesome!!

This dude's vocals are on point... 5:34, that this gave me chills, the look he makes before he gets to the mic is like "Watch this shit", bravo.

His voice is so incredible

I keep coming back and watching this.. How can someone not be moved by this? No one I know cares when I share this kind of stuff with them. I shared this video to my Facebook and it was as if no one even watched it. I feel so alone sometimes.

His Voice is unreal.

Man no one talks about the guitar player and bass players having an absolutely insane stage presence holy shit, they are laying the ground work and its awesome

Love how the drummer is just going bananas at the end

I will rewatch this for the rest of my life

His vocal ability is immense.

This song gives me goosebumps, this performance is almost better than the original recording because of the atmosphere and how it makes you feel. This band is so talented and one of my favourites of all time

5:33 absolute chills, best singer in the genre in my opinion and my absolute favourite band

The best sounding live video I've ever watched. The drums sound incredible. Lucas is such an underrated singer. He's one of the top tier vocalists in the scene.

That drummer is fighting demons

The note at 5:37 saying another life is just unreal.

My absolute favourite from the album, reminds me of Penance's slow pace and energy

Holy smokes. Extremely professional. He's got some Sam carter in him

Press 8 for an absolutely stunning climax of top tier vocal skills.

What I didn't realise till watching this video so many times is the drummer's demeanour at the end, he put so much emotion and passion into hitting those drums, my guy is knackered, what a band, man.

I want this played at my funeral. Lord knows few will care to be there. HOLD ME NOW FOR A LITTLE BIT!!!!!!! 😢 i’m ready to die alone and forgotten.

If I could only listen to one song for the rest of my life, this would be it. ❤️

If only the studio records had the singer more present in the mix like these singles. Would elevate the songs 10x

I keep coming back to this, I cant get enough of it. The guitarist and bassist are both massively underappreciated in this both instrumentally and with their stage presence. The drummer is on another level emotionally and is overflowing with passion and nothing short of absolutely flawless in regards to Lucas’ vocals. Pure chills every time the first chorus comes in and even more so when it hits 5:34 ❤️‍🔥

Can't. Stop. Watching. This fucking band. This song. This performance. It's like I've just discovered music for the first time all over again. That's what this band does for me.

I got my first car two days ago, and took it for a cruise around 10pm and let me tell you, THIS SONG BROKE ME. Without even blasting it in my car at night this song gives me goosebumps on every listen, but MY GOD did it sound incredible that night. Hands down best musical experience of my life, I can’t recommend enough that anyone seeing this comment does the same.

when i was obsessed with this over a year ago, it only had 50k views. checking the view count now brought me to tears

The emotion that Lucas gives 😭😭😭 his vocals are always flawless 🔥

Could you fade away just as quickly as you came? You're a burnt bouquet, there's nothing left to say Simply dissipate, dissolve or just decay You're a burnt bouquet, there's nothing left for me to say Hold me now for a little bit Burn it down, get it over with If I admit that our lives were doomed to entwine I'd turn back the time for your piece of mind Hold me now, for a little bit The love that we watched wilt Could you fade away just as quickly as you came? You're a burnt bouquet, there's nothing left to say Hold me now, for a little bit Burn it down, get it over with If I admit that our lives were doomed to entwine I'd turn back the time for your piece of mind Hold me now, for a little bit The love that we watched wilt Whenever I see the tapestry, your blessed hands wove for me The poetry, the misery, it all meant so, so much to me Just give me a lobotomy and cure these things inside of me And maybe I can be free to love you for an eternity If in another life, my heart is beating fine And love is on my mind, you'll be the first in line Whenever I see the tapestry, your blessed hands wove for me The poetry, the misery, it all meant so, so much to me Just give me a lobotomy and cure these things inside of me So maybe I can be free to love you for an eternity Whenever I see the tapestry, your blessed hands wove for me The poetry, the misery, it all meant so, so much to me Just give me a lobotomy and cure these things inside of me So maybe I can be free to love you for an eternity

i dont care how many comments im gonna leave here, ill never not listen to this but watching ash pummel the drums in the last part is so awe-inspiring

Ashley's drums really make the song here moreso than the album. That crescendo was fucking massive and you could tell he is hitting the drums as hard as he can. Fucking sick!

this is amazing even for their standards. Hope this band get so much bigger, as they should be one of the biggest rock bands with performances like this.

This is better than the record version. Incredible and seemingly effortless.

This dude can sing !! Everything is Mixed perfectly too

This vocalist, Lucas, he really sucks the tears out of my eyes

Lucas and Rory from dayseeker are on another level vocally. I have been listening to bands in this scene since around 2001, and no one has ever come close to those 2.

The ending to this song is beautiful, so much emotion and energy . Holding absence will forever be amazing

DAMN HIS VOICE IS POWERFUL. CHILLLSSS

I've just discovered this band and I'm in love with the music! How can everything sound so good??

This band is it. Everything they release is amazing. This live is on another level too.

I've been coming back to this video ever since it was released, and now I can finally say I'm seeing these amazing guys live in a few months. Younger me wouldn't believe it. I'd also like to gently add this song, and this band has been my absolute rescue multiple times.

Lucas' voice gives me goosebumps everytime, such an amazing singer and lovely person

Wow! The best Lucas has ever sounded. Incredible song 🎵

absolute goosebump, Holding absence and Dayseeker might be the most solid band i've found this year

i wish this was on spotify

Songs that save my life

Awesome band and I also must say.... The sound engineer did a fantastic job!

I’ve listened to a lot of music in my life…..Lucas’ voice is one of the most, if not the most impressive that I’ve heard. And that’s saying something.

Любимая песня

absolutely insane this show they did. These three songs live sound better than the record even.

This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen

unreal band

Lucas, you're so damn awesome!

This guy should won the best vocalist award🤘🏆

This guy sounds better live than on studio god damn

oh my god, there's so much talent and emotions put into this... I love it even more than the studio version and the fact that it's actually mixed and recorded so well makes me sure that I'll actually listen to it over and over again

Still crying like hell after hearing this song live a few minutes ago 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

POWER

And being a drummer myself, having played many shows around the country, the sound of this is fuckin amazing lol plus the guitarists and drummer are ON POINT!!! 🤯🤯🤯

This is so freaking incredible! 🖤 Really hope your show in Prague next year won't be cancelled due to covid again.

I am crying

Imo this might have been one of the best songs I heard in my life

This is probably my favorite live performance video of all time. I come back to this like a few times a week lol, it’s just fantastic

I saw then with my son at Starland Ball room in Sayreville nj they are awsome live great energy

Kad srce puca, neka puca..

That's not music... that's religon🎼♥️

This is a masterpiece wtf

Preferring this to the studio version. That's how it often is with seriously talented musicians. Love the song progression and the powerful vocals. Inspired performance. The energy at 5:33 is just perfect. The artist's connection with the song is what makes performances stand out. Amazing work, gents. Keep it up!
