Description

From the greek side of Cyprus the band ASTRONOMIKON tries to conquer the world. Musicians from the other quite know band ARRAYAN PATH founded this group in 2008 and released a first Demo tape in 2010. “Dark Gorgon rising” is their debut album and for some easons it reminds me on the famous CRIMSON GLORY debut. Its not the vocals, but probably the feeling which is quite similar. Heavy, powerful Metal with some decent keys surrounded by phantastic guitar leads make the 13 songs without doubt to one of the best albums ever coming from this island. The artwork was done by the famous artist Markus Vesper and fits perfect to the musical style.

Forget about average greek mediocre “middle of the road”-stuff which arrived too often in the last years. ASTRONOMIKON have their own class and deserve to get a chance!
