Message from Harmonize Family – 27/12/2020

Greetings, We hope we find you all well! 2020 has been a rather unconventional year for all of us. As this year has come to an end, we found the opportunity to summarise our 2020 journey, as we are one of the bands that released an album during this difficult time. Harmonize faced multiple challenges until the release of our debut album, because of issues caused by past members and certain events. However, despite what has occurred, this has also been a very significant year for us, as the current line-up has bonded, having worked very hard, hence becoming very productive. The album was recorded, following all necessary procedures in order to be released. We...

Moshville Times Interview

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2mOojGM-pM Simple things first – where are you guys from? We are Harmonize and we are from Cyprus. How did you meet? We’ve known each other for a long time. Rhythm guitarist George is sort of the linking bond between us. He met our vocalist Sozos, at karate class when they were about 12. Lead guitarist Lambros and George have known each other from the cypriot metal community and have since become really close friends. Our drummer Harris used to be a member of Cypriot band Armageddon when George met him for the first time. Bassist Panayiotis met George at the National Guard when they were 18 and 19.  How long have you been playing as a...

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. I also write and compose songs with the rest of the band. I founded Harmonize in 2012 but I happen to be the only original member in the band. 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...

Breathing The Core – HARMONIZE about Warrior in the Night

Behind The Artworks: Harmonize - Warrior In The Night (2020) It was our plan to have the warrior in the night as the cover art for our album. A figure seen on many metal covers, heard about in many metal songs. However, we wanted to give him his own story. Remedy Art Design is the man behind the artwork. He captured the elements of the warrior that convey his true nature. The last man standing tall, just like a lone wolf, wounded but reckless about to march forth on his epic journey. These epic and fantasy fiction elements were so vividly conveyed by Giannis Nakos (Remedy Art), for all of the characters of...

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...
