Absorb

Absorb from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

Forged in 2013, ABSORB — Jeff Luckel (lead guitar), David Eckmeier (rhythm guitar), Jason Luckel (bass), and Aaron Barthe (drums) — set out to cultivate a sound that was slow, dissonant, and quakingly heavy. After cycling through a number of vocalists, the final piece of the puzzle fell into place with the addition of vocalist Erik Thorkildsen in 2022. Since then, ABSORB has found its true sound, a perfect fit with Thorkildsen’s dominating vocal delivery.
