Absolva Unleash Their Tombstone-inspired Highly Anticipated Album, ‘Justice’
Album Release Date: 16th May 2025
The wait is nearly over as Absolva, the powerhouse of hard rock and melodic metal, from Manchester, UK, are thrilled to announce the release of their new studio album, ‘Justice’. Set to drop on 16th May 2025, this album promises to be a monumental addition to the band’s discography, showcasing their signature blend of giant harmony lead guitars, indelible choruses and impassioned vocals/lyrics.
‘Justice‘ features an impressive line-up of guest vocalists, including Ronnie Romero (renowned for his incredible work with Rainbow, Michael Schenker and more), the legendary Blaze Bayley (Iron Maiden frontman 1994-1999), the outstanding Stu Block (ex-Iced Earth), and the formidable David Marcelis (Lord Volture, Thorium). So it is that the album’s powerful sound is further enhanced by the dynamics of these talented guests.
The album is inspired by the blockbuster movie Tombstone with its’ gritty Western theme. Even the band’s pre-order packages are playfully named after characters in the movie whilst the songs take the listener on a more serious, compelling journey, through themes of resilience, identity, truth and hope.
‘Justice’ was recorded at Rocksector Records HQ, produced by frontman Christopher Appleton, and mastered by Ade Emsley, ensuring a polished yet faithful sound that fans have come to love. The lead single and music video, the super-infectious ‘Find My Identity‘, featuring Ronnie Romero, has already generated the buzz of something special, giving fans a taste of what’s to come, whilst the latest single and title track gives a more epic atmosphere and colossal, operatic-style ending.
Always heavily committed on the live scene, in the early part of 2025 the band has completed 4 shows in Italy (special guests with Blaze Bayley), 12 UK and European tour dates (special guests with Ronnie Romero) and 4 additional UK dates (special guests with Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons).
