About Me |
|
We never applied a "label" to our style so if we call it metal pretty much sums it up! We have been described in the past as a Heavy / Power / Progressive / Doom Metal act but again, we feel that it’s enough to just say that we play metal! Some key facts (REAL quick): 1993 Formed in March 1993. 1994 First release, a 4-track demo in the summer of 1994 (‘Living to Die’). 1995 Second release, another 4-track demo in the summer of 1995. Received rave reviews all over the world. Featured on the national TV station (CyBC), including a video clip that was shot especially for the feature. 1996-2004 Army service and studies abroad. 1997 Bloodbrothers compilation CD, with bands from Cyprus. Participated with 2 tracks, both taken from demo 95. 1999 Tribute to Iron Maiden ("Children of the Damned") by Italian label Adrenaline Records, covering "The Trooper". Special edition of ‘Rock Line’ radio show, celebrating the release with the band as guests and the show also being webcast while having a chat room setup where people from around the world tuned in and had chats with everyone. Plenty of beer as well… 2003 Performed live in support of Greek power metal band Marauder and recorded a full-length album in the summer of 2003. The album was left to collect some dust however before finally being released… 2008 15 years later, the first (and probably last?) full-length album is released! |
