Greek heavy metal - Arthes - 06-16-2006

Khaire,
I found a link to this site...[url:14vxgsg1]http://www.sacred-blood.com/[/url]
a Greek band in the style of 'Viking' metal who are in the process of producing an album dedicated to Thermopylae...so I guess they are 'Hoplite' metal... Big Grin

They call their sound 'epic power folk metal'
A little too 'thrashy' for me at times .... but Gates of Fire sounds ok... and I love the site 'Intro'.
For MP3 downloads and samples go here [url:14vxgsg1]http://www.sacred-blood.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewdownload&cid=1[/url]

Re: Greek heavy metal - Comerus Gallus - 06-17-2006

Wow!

Back in the 80's this would be one of many rock band LP on my collection, but not one of my favorite.

What I like the best its that is not about satanism & negative mesages, you know what I'm talking about.! :roll: ...But its about Greek stuff cool!.

Yes its too thrashy, too fast with the guitar but the drumms go behind that is what I didnt like of thrash & less death thrash, Death Metal & Grind, Black Metal was my option, sometimes Heavy Metal I Started withIron Maiden, one of greek sound was the Flight of Ikarus. :oops:

BTW: You always Cristy!...nice find :lol:

Re: Greek heavy metal - Arthes - 06-28-2006

Khaire,
Back to Sacred Blood - the 'intro' on the web site is from the Thermopylae album too... Big Grin

I have to admit that their music has really grown on me....
I downloaded the Clash of the Titans tracks and have played them constantly ever since....!
(Why do you think I have long hair..... :roll: :lol: )
I especially love the wonderful accent singing -
'like the clash of the Titans we'll fight.......'
Makes me think of a line of Spartans......!

'Hail to Hellas' album is their tribute to the men of Sparta and Thermopylae
Track - The Call to Arms - tribute to Dienekes starting with his famous words and a wicked laugh... Big Grin

Track - The Lion of Sparta - tribute to Leonidas, of course...

'Hatred and Warlust' is a mixture of 'Viking' and H.P.Lovecraft...!

This was forwarded by Polydekis of Sacred Blood/Folkearth/Athlos - some of you will definitely find it of interest... Big Grin

ATHLOS: NEW PROJECT FROM MEMBERS OF FOLKEARTH

Hails there!

I want to post sime update here concerning my musical projects..

Well, due to the fact that with my main band SACRED BLOOD we await
the release of our debut album, nothing is really going on, and having already
finished the assigned jobs in FOLKEARTH, I decided to launch a new project
along with some bandmates from FOLKEARTH and true friends as well.

We united under the working band name ATHLOS (meaning deed in Hellenic Language)
and we are working on some songs, inspired of course from our Ancient Culture, Mythology
and History.

The line-up so far is:

Me of course, guitars, flute, whistles, accordion, keyboards, etc..
Thanasis Karapanos: Guitars, bass, drums, vocals
Hild Valkyrie: Vocals
Marios Koutsoukos: Lyrics, Vocals
and maybe some other people...

And some working titles are:

The Rage of Hekatonchires
Dance of The Kouretes
Aegean Blue
Hellas Eternal
In the Vineyards of Dionysus
Ulysses before the Gates of Hades ( Necromantia)
Talos Unleashed
Olympian Storm
And an untitled,yet, song, talking about the Cretan ritualistic tradition of Bull-vaulting..

Of course some titles may change, but I am providing this early info to let you know
what is going on in a basic framework..

Anyway,
That's all for now bros and sisters,
Polydeykis
