█ Absolva is a classic metal band, based in █
█ Manchester, UK, & featuring twin lead guitar in █
█ the great British tradition. Formed in May 2012 by █
█ Chris Appleton & Martin McNee (both of Fury UK), █
█ joined by Tom Atkinson (Vice) & Dan Bate (Point █
█ Blank Fury). █
█ Chris & Martin had featured together since October █
█ 2007 as part of successful classic metal trio Fury █
█ UK, a band which clearly established itself at the █
█ forefront of the UK scene. From inception to May █
█ 2012, Fury UK, signed to Rocksector Records, █
█ released 3 albums, 1 EP & 1 DVD. The band also █
█ toured UK & Europe extensively as a headline act, █
█ played Bloodstock, Hammerfest & PPM Festivals, & █
█ toured as guests with Iced Earth, Saxon, Y&T, █
█ Michael Schenker & Blaze Bayley. █
█ When Fury UK bassist Luke Appleton (brother of █
█ Chris) joined American powerhouse metallers Iced █
█ Earth, Fury UK was put on hold whilst Chris & █
█ Martin decided to form Absolva. Chris Appleton's █
█ reputation as an outstanding lead guitarist is █
█ well-known but a key part of the newly-formed █
█ Absolva is the twin lead guitar attack inspired by █
█ the likes of Iron Maiden & Thin Lizzy, now taken █
█ to a heavier edge akin to Judas Priest & Megadeth. █
█ Second lead guitarist, Tom Atkinson - from █
█ Manchester band Vice - was immediately recruited & █
█ after a run of auditions Dan Bate of █
█ Midlands-based band Point Blank Fury was chosen as █
█ the ideal man for the bass guitar role. Absolva █
█ was ready to be announced to the world on 23rd May █
█ 2012. █
█ Amid a wave of expectation a debut show was played █
█ at SOS Festival on 22nd July 2012 to a resounding █
█ welcome, closely followed by 4 shows in August █
█ with Iced Earth - Dublin, Belfast, Glasgow & █
█ Bloodstock Open Air. █
