AKRITAS

One of the best record from greece without any doubt! This power trio managed to do what I think it has to be done in every possible way: rock hard, show the influence of your music traditions, elaborate the balance between strong and light melodies and captivate the listener.

Try not to be surprise with the begning of the album, it will pass fast, so fast, that when you see it, the keyboards is leading you into outer space and the vocalist deliver you INSIDE the music. Its acid, but not psychdelic; its melodic, but not repetitive, evoques the past but in a futuristic manner. The cover of the album is probably the best depiction of the music.

With only one album, Akritas is another piece of "what could have been" in music that deserves the 5 stars.
