Greyfade is a one-man alternative metal band based in Dubai, UAE, that crosses the genre with musical eclecticism through experimental sounds.

Born in Lebanon, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Fadi Helou began playing music at the age of 15 and songwriting by the age of 17. He founded his first band “The Prophecy” and subsequently moved to the United Arab Emirates where he started his latest music project Greyfade based on the influences of such iconic bands as Metallica, Megadeth, and Iron Maiden.

Greyfade released his debut album Life in August 2016 which blends a traditional metal sound with a layered vibe that transposes the expressionism behind the contradictory emotions of human experience. He followed it up with the EP Hopeless... Aimless... Soulless... in 2017, as well as his second album, The Change in 2019, a contemplative yet expressly metal album, along with multiple singles through the years. His latest EP, Where Time Stood Still, was released in 2022 and dives into a thematic exploration of life, modern society, and war, and was inspired by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis’ improvisation-heavy recording of their album Carnage.

From anger to serenity, to beauty and rage, Greyfade’s music, showcasing the emotional spectrum and the dualities of life, is both a study and an expression of life lived. Between EP and album releases, Greyfade is continuously writing new music and releasing singles.
