about
The band: Nadim Jamal - Vocals Kyle Roberts - Keys, Synths, Samples Greg Cargopoulos - Drums, Bass, Percussion Jack Skinner - Guitars Absolace marks the coming together of individuals hailing from very diverse musical backgrounds, and is the brainchild of drummer Greg Cargopoulos. Its birth can be traced back to his initial encounter with guitarist Jack Skinner, and their school days. What brought the two together was a mutual passion for music and their converging tastes in rock/metal. As the elder of the two musicians, Greg had already played guitar, bass, as well as drums with various Dubai acts, while Jack often attended his future band mate’s performances. After a yearlong stay in Australia and a stint with Brisbane-based melodic metal outfit Percuto, Greg returned to Dubai and began to write material for what was to become Absolace sometime in 2007. It was shortly after that Greg and Jack joined forces to finally set their own project in motion. The two were already in familiar waters: Jack had been playing guitar since the age of 9 and featured as a member of several rock bands before the fusion of Absolace, including the experimental group Stenchwart (M.A.N.). Their shared love for some of the most prolific acts in rock and metal cemented the bond, and their diverging musical training backgrounds made this union even more remarkable. While Jack has had a classical musical upbringing and is jazz-oriented, Greg’s live experience and flair for metal makes Absolace
