Loukas Avgerinos: We started back in 2002. Former members of the band that time were Achilleas Mochloulis (keys) and myself (Loukas Avgerinos on guitars), workin' on some ideas we had back then. Finally Giannis Avgerinos (drums) joined the band and the three of us started rehearsals. The search for a bass player and a vocalist finally came to an end. Dimitris Dalabiras (bass) and Nikos (vocals) are the two newest members of the group. The band played in a couple of bars back then, mostly covers.
Later Dimitris Dalabiras (bass) and Nicos (vocals) have decided to leave the band, for personal reasons, and Dimitris Giantsos (bass) and Tassos Chrisiotis (vocals) took their places. The singer and the bassist left and re-srarted the search for new members. In 2005, Nikos Alexiou (bass) and George Margaritopoulos (vocals) became membrs of the band and we did another concert. In the beginning of 2006, Nikos Alexiou was replaced by Dimitri Chanioti and soon the band decided to, finally, record the songs and release a cd.
Unfortunately, due to an accident on Giannis's hands, the recording was delayed and, finally, the songs we recorded (in the basement of the house) from the middle of July till mid of August, when Giannis surpassed his accident.
The tour 2007-2009 finds the group with the return of Tossos Christoni in vocals (for good now) and Christos Anifantis in bass. This composition tours in Larissa and takes part in the new song of the local football team called "ΑΕΛ ΓΕΡΑ". In 2010, the tour will continue in the city of Larissa.

HeavyParadise: What about your music influences?
Loukas: Our musical influences are from classic bands such as Deep Purple, Rainbow, Y.J. Malmsteen , Uli Jon Roth , Iron Maiden, to a more prog. bands like Dream Theater, Fates Warning & Queensryche.
HeavyParadise: Greece is a kinda of difficult country to provide "heavy" bands, so my question is what about the future of your band?
Loukas: I think that in Greece the whole thing about hard n' heavy, moves in a right direction. I don't know how things are in other cities, but it's a bit difficult to find a place to play live with your band. I' m only hoping that this thing will change soon, and the "kids" who wanna rock to find a way to play in clubs, with big audience. Its all about support the Greek "heavy" scene!!
HeavyParadise: What about your future plans?
Loukas: I'm hoping for a tour in other cities here in Greece, so the people to know and hear our music. Also we have some new ideas that we are hoping to make them true in the near future!!!!!
HeavyParadise: Thanx a lot and good luck man!!
Loukas: Thanx!
