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...

Warrior in the Night album review by Metal Underground

With HARMONIZE we are dealing with another troop from the island state of Cyprus. The Heavy / Thrash / Power Metal faction from Nicosia has been active since 2012 but is only now delivering their debut album with "Warrior in the Night" . The triumvirate of genre elements is actually well mixed, although the listener will find that the Cypriots are in the traditional heavy corner. The sound edges were provided with Thrashisgen fragments and this is immediately apparent on the first track "Never Back Down" . Doesn't mean that we are dealing with a definite retro troupe in the form of HARMONIZE . The lessons were certainly intus, but in contrast, they...

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...

Warrior In The Night Review by Musipedia of Metal

Harmonize: Warrior In The Night (Self Released) [Lucas Tuckwood] Today did descend upon me an armour-clad fellow brandishing a ridiculously long sword, his hair blowing in the wind. Shining in his hand was…. a CD. Warrior In The Night by Harmonize to be specific, lo and behold it is some wonderful power metal. Hailing from Cyprus, these obscure headbangers have been at the grindstone since 2012, keeping their swords sharp, and keeping that classic power metal spirit going, and managing to add a certain amount of spice to the age-old formula.The first several tracks are a standard power affair- you get a hefty dose of powerful, mid-tempo riffage, combined with some nice harmonising...
