Interview – KICKASS FOREVER

1)      Hello guys! A great honor to host you. You are one of the best metal bands from Cyprus! How are you? Ha ha! Thank you very much. We are doing alright. At the moment we are working on new material. 2)      First of all, how do you feel about the label “power metal”. We definitely relate to the term power metal, although we incorporate more genres in our sound, thus we can’t necessarily state that we are solely a power metal band. 3)      You released “Warrior In The Night" a few weeks ago. Are you happy about the first feedback? Feedback has been great so far. People seem to have really enjoyed our debut album so far. Reviews have...

Interview & Review From Metal Hammer Portugal

The album: “Warrior in the Night” is our debut album. It is just a presentation to our world, to our sound and to the history that we develop. In short, it can be described as a power metal album, with traces of heavy metal from the 80's and extreme influences. It tells the story of our warrior in an epic way. We want to reach out to the metalheads and invite them to join us on our journey, we want to see people interacting, feeling deeply or being touched by history and music. However, even perplexing reactions are welcome, as there is much more to discover and our aim is not to...

ROCKPORTAAL.NL – INTERVIEW

Hi, In Belgium and the Netherlands we are in lockdown due to covid19/corona. How is the situation in Cyprus? I guess this virus is not doing any good to a country that depends somehow on tourism?  You are absolutely right. Cyprus' main pride economically is the influx of tourists every year. Lockdown means that this would have to wait longer. At the moment the government is imposing new measures with early evening curfew hours, keeping the 'mask at all times' and social distancing measures as well. Artists are also primarily affected by the pandemic and measures, however when there's a will there's a way, hence we are motivated and productive. Without the virus, would Harmonize...

HIGHWIRE DAZE – Interview with George Constantinou

Introduce yourself, tell me what you do in HARMONIZE, and how long the band has been together. I'm George Constantinou and I play rhythm guitar.

We've been active since but only now were we truly ready to release our debut album. Where is the band based out of and what is your local music scene like there? We are currently based in Cyprus. To be honest our local music scene doesn't look like much at the moment, due to the pandemic. A small metal community-as Cyprus...

Heroism arises from the Hellenic Sphere – Album Review by Sonic Perspectives

For a relatively small nation within the European Union, Cyprus has fielded a fairly impressive metal scene with a diverse range of expressions, with a sizable plurality opting for the more extreme end of the spectrum. However, there are a few noteworthy underground acts that have lent their talent to the power metal sub-genre, with acts hailing from the Nicosia such as Winter’s Verge and Astronomikon offering up a sound fairly similar to the one that have dominated much of Northern and Western Europe for the past couple decades. Recently a younger quintet from the same city going by the moniker Harmonize has opted to turn the clock back on said style...

Warrior in The Night Review by Metal Temple

HARMONIZE are a Power Thrash Metal Band from Nicosia, Cyprus. You don’t hear much about any band from the Republic of Cyprus, an island country in the Eastern Mediterranean. This band was formed back in 2012 and this is their first album. Sozos Michael, the lead singer used to be one of the vocalists of HELION PRIME, a band I previously reviewed for Metal Temple a few years back. I have to say that the beginning of the title track really reminded me of ‘’Intro to Reality’’ by ANTHRAX on the ‘’Persistence of Time’’ album, that was my first thought. It’s not a bad thing at all, the slow pace and the intro...

Breathing The Core – Interview with George Constantinou

Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or came out just like that? Years ago, I came across the Greek band Disharmony, a great band with a very intriguing name. Having seen them live, I really enjoyed their performance. We then flirted with the idea of the word harmony and its deeper meaning. Harmony, balance and team spirit are themes relating to the concept of our work. It may not make sense now. But it shall eventually. Why did you want to play this genre? Initially the band begun playing heavy and thrash metal. These were our influences at the time. However, the band eventually came up with material...

Iron Backstage – Interview with George Constantinou from Harmonize

Hi Harmonize! What's the meaning of your band’s title? What's the origin of that name? Have you changed the band's name before? When I saw the Greek band Disharmony, live when the opened the show for Arch enemy in Cyprus, I remember how intrigued I was by the name. I then took the word harmony and played with it. Since the band was formed, we remained as Harmonize. It is about restoring the balance between light and darkness. What genre of music do you consider your work to be? Who are your major influences? Also, what can you tell us about "Warrior in the Night"? We used to consider our work to be thrash & power metal, but we...
