Chris Martin had featured together especially 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, YT, 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.
