Year: 2013
This band plays heavy metal. You will hear no thrash, no death, no speed, no power, no alternative, no keyboards, no female vocals, just heavy metal. Bass, drums, two guitars and a sickened angry voice. Since ‘Elpis’ is their debut album (following the Rain Must Fall EP-2011), it naturally includes influences from all their metal heroes namely Metallica, Megadeth, Machine Head, Soulfly, Pantera, Iron Maiden, Black Label Society, Exodus etc, but all filtered under the prism of their vision for their band. A small tip is that they named their band after the song ‘Prejudice’ from Soulfly back in the 1998. So, you can imagine what goes on here! Riff after riff, solos, melodic breaks and heavy outbursts. Best tracks for my taste are ‘Infestation’ and ‘Tantalize’ which I have already melted, but I am sure you will find your personal best, soon after the first hearing. The guys are very active with live shows around Athens mainly, so Athenians (and around) do yourselves a favor and go see them perform. They sound much better live! Currently they are preparing their second full length album and… Themistoklas Awaits!
