Ι would like to begin by mentioning what impressed me the most since minute one. The voice! It’s solid and “thick”, it’s powerful and passionate. Falsettos are a parameter for sure as well as a fabulous vibrato, almost operatic! On the other hand, it possesses so much roughness, it can Rock as hell! The Greek band is here to suggest some of their own things around Metal, served with lyrical extensions; I’d say it’s a pure Metal band, featuring Progressive elements. Motif is epical and majestic, choruses are totally melodic; you are about to listen to some Doom tunes, that’s also inside the package. For instance, “Cage of sins” is one of those songs…
The quartet is playing some darkened themes, concrete metallic, with a sparkly black shinning. The boys mention Fates Warning, Queensryche, even Thin Lizzy and Alice In Chains as some of their influences… I also heard some Sanctuary and Lethal.
Ten minute long “Efialtes” is a different story itself. There are Greeks lyrics, too, the song is flirting with Phrygian scales and those Greek words truly sound different, when surrounded by Metal; the combination is simply “different”. They’ve done well; it’s quite an experiment and an even better topic. This one, along with title track, is probably the most epical songs in the bouquet.
Best of luck and success to the boys; next time we talk about them will be after one of their shows. Now I want to see them live on stage, hell yeah!
