“The Absence Of Presence” è il nuovo capitolo nella storia della band americana ed è il seguito dell’album del 2016 “The Prelude Implicit”, il quale ha debuttato al #14 nella Billboard’s Top 200 Albums chart. I KANSAS hanno venduto più di 30 milioni di album in tutto il mondo e hanno raggiunto la fama anche nel circuito mainstream con brani storici come “Carry On Wayward Son” e la hit “Dust In The Wind”.
Questo autunno i KANSAS porteranno in Europa il Point of Know Return Anniversary Tour, nel quale riproporranno brani dall’ultimo “The Absence Of Presence”, brani più famosi e brani mai suonati dal vivo e culminerà con la riproposizione per intero dello storico “Point Of Know Return”.

KANSAS’s signature sound is unmistakable throughout. The album showcases Ronnie Platt’s towering vocals, David Ragsdale’s searing violin, Tom Brislin’s dazzling keyboards, Williams and Rizvi’s electrifying guitar riffs, Ehart’s powerful drums, and Billy Greer’s rocking bass.
“We are really proud of the album ‘The Absence of Presence,’” comments KANSAS guitarist, producer, and songwriter Zak Rizvi. “Making a new KANSAS album sets a very high musical standard that is expected from our fans. From rockers, to progressive epics, to ballads, there is something on this recording for everybody.”
“It’s been a while since the band has been able to perform in Europe, where we have some very passionate fans,” adds KANSAS guitarist Richard Williams. “We are excited to take the Point of Know Return Anniversary Tour across Europe. Not only will they hear us perform that album in its entirety, along with other hits and deep cuts, but they will be the first fans to hear some of the songs from ‘The Absence of Presence’ performed live.”
