Apollo Papathanasio famous mostly for his career in Firewind and now with Spiritual Beggars will release his first solo album, “Waterdevils”, on November 18th through Escape Music. The album was recorded and mixed in Gothenburg at Global Musix Studio with producer Jalle Westergen. Here’s some more information from the press release: “I originally wanted to release the material under a band and name or as a project, but people kept saying it was about time that I go solo and step out as a solo artist. So I decided to take the plunge.”Waterdevils” is the result of Apollo’s free musical spirit where he has liberated himself from all rules and just done whatever he wanted to do. “I wanted to do this because it’s fun and exciting, and also because I want to contribute to keeping classic rock alive! “Waterdevils is a weather phenomenon. It’s a small, weak whirlwind over water that’s pretty rare. You never know where you’ll see it or if you’ll see it again. In a way it’s a tribute to all of those who have contributed to this album. They showed up, unexpectedly and they might show up again, or maybe not, you just never know. Like waterdevils.”
