There are at least 2 bands named Praesentia: 1. It all began with the passion of metal music, when Nicolas, the oldest of the three, came home with some tasty metal album. Alain and Elie Crépeau, brothers in arms, back in the 90's, decided to choose their melodic and rhythmic weapon. From the first day of practice, it was obvious, this life will be their fate. A life of pure metal frenzy. But there was still a missing piece, a bass player. After long difficulties to find one, life for them was made that everything needed was quite near, an old supportive, Nicolas. Finally the band was complete. With all this new energy, nothing could stop them to make their first album, all from themselves. After three long years of writting, recording, mixing and mind killing side jobs, their first child was born. The album called "Human gene autopsy". 2. A band from Leeuwarden, The Netherlands. They started in the summer of 2010. Influences are mostly taken from the 90's screamo/hardcore/punk sound.
