Fortress Under Siege
Formed in Athens in the mid-1990s, Fortress Under Siege play power progressive metal, combining traditional heavy metal with technical, melodic power metal. Having released their debut mini CD in 1996, they're among the first Greek bands to play progressive power metal. Since then they've released three more full-length albums, "The Mortal Flesh of Love" (2011), "Phoenix Rising" (2014), "Atlantis" (2020).
Their new album "Envy" is the strongest album by Fortress Under Siege to date, delivering modern power metal without losing touch with their sonic past. The lyrical themes are varied, covering historical, mythological and social subjects, right through to science fiction. The cover once again features a work by Ioannis Koutrikas, serving as an allegory of Envy with a beautiful female figure bearing horns.
The lyrical power prog metal adventure continues…
The band members:
Tasos Lazaris – Vocals
Fotis Sotiropoulos – Lead Guitars
Themis Gourlis – Rhythm Guitars
George Georgiou – Keyboadrs
St.evens Kopanakis – Bass
Dimitris Kapoukakis – Drums
Sebia
“ Sebia are a Hard Rock / Metal band from Athens. The band was founded in April 2020 by Nikos Gavalas, Konstantinos Kyritsis and Leonidas Perifanis. With quite a few live shows under their belt, Sebia released their debut album titled Acceptance of Reality in the summer of 2023. Their influences vary widely since the band draws on completely different listening backgrounds but manages, in its own way, to marry styles and try to create something through the mixing of genres. Through the group's name, they've built up an entire mythology, elements of which show up in their tracks.
The band members:
Nikos Gavalas – Bass (Backing Vocals)
Παύλος Κουναλάκης – Drums
Λεωνίδας Περιφάνης – Vocals
Κωνσταντίνος Κυρίτσης – Lead Guitar
Alchemists
The Alchemists, a young band from Athens, are making their debut on the big stages, with a new singer at the helm. They move within the Hard Rock sound, always with a few more modern elements of the contemporary Metal scene thrown in. We'll get to hear material from their soon-to-come debut album.
