Chipper are a
four-piece band formed in Thessaloniki, Greece, in 2017 by Nick Antoniadis
(vocals, guitar), Nick Karamanidis (vocals, guitar), Chris Nalbantidis (bass)
and John Charalabidis (drums). Their musical influences stand somewhere between
Hard Rock, Heavy Rock , Stoner with some Rock n’ Roll attitude .
They have had gigs at most of their hometown’s main venues, supporting renowned
Rock and Punk bands. In February 2020 they played with Deaf Radio and Bonzai,
two of the most up-and-coming Greek bands at the moment. ( NIGHTSTALKER
December 2018)
During that period they released their debut album, titled Self Patrón. The
album consists of eight tracks and was recorded in Valve Studio. Through the
pounding drums, the «dirty» guitars and the growly alternating vocals, Chipper
shape their musical unease and creative identity, as formed in recent years.

The Hard Rockers from Thessaloniki have been presenting to us their proposal carrying with them dirt, vagrancy and wildness since the summer of '13. Inspired by the music and the attitude of the hard n heavy decade 85-95 they shoot with their “Leftover Bullets” to kill in our decade.
THE NAME The 5 member band came together when a wave of young people started leaving Greece. According to them “We were looking at our friends leaving one after another and us left behind. But we are bullets..”
THE MUSIC An electrified field stepping on Hard Rock, close to Heavy whilst playing with Punk played with Plug and Play leaving out all sound effects.
THE LYRICS Clearly angry with everything going on but not avoiding to dig deep in the feelings with a hint of philosophy.
THE HISTORY During the summer of '15, they recorded their very first song “80’s Child” together with a lyric video which came to knowledge of Miltos Karatzas and his company FINAL TOUCH – THE LABEL. This lead to a 2 year contract. The song “80’s Child” was released on May'16, through the company as the first single of their debut album “Virtue & Vice” which released on November 30 together with the second single “While I’m on the round” with a video clip. "Might be miles way" was another song from the album that became their second video clip wich was released in January '17 and the third and fourth ones were published the same year under the titles "Virgin Queen" and "Feeding the Flame". The summer of '18 found the band in the studio preparing their second album, while they are in search of a new label. In December '18, "Confused" was released as the first video clip of their upcoming album. Through their 5 years of existence they count numerous appearances mostly in Thessaloniki, Athens, some participations in festivals and exclusive gigs. Besides the Bass player who was added to the band on March 2016, the last addition was the rythm guitarist who joined in on summer of '18. All the rest members have been together since the very beginning – exception is the drummer who replaced the first one before the band took its final form.

Hailing from Patrai, Greece its Ritual Of Odds a melodic death metal band from Greece.The band is presenting their 2nd self released album which was getting my attention just yesterday by the bands USA booking agency (thanks to Scott).
The album starts with the title track God Is An Atheist... and the song starts with some tunes that reminds on Slipknot.
My special favourites are: Haunt and God Is An Atheist.
The band already toured the USA and outher countries and the album is an absolut must have for fans of melodic death metal. It is strict melodic death metal with overtones of various othermetal forms.
