Although formed only in early 2012, this Reading (England, UK) based Melodic Metalcore act (not to be confused with the Pop/ Punk band from Canada, or the Reggae act known as Hogh Hopes Band from New England, USA) consisting of singer Nick Brooks, guitarists Nathan Pryor and Krishan Pujura, bassist Shaun Flanagan and drummer Daryl Pryor have reasons to be proud of the things they already achieved!
In early 1982, three members (guitarist Kevin Bower, bassist Tony Speckman, and drummer Tim Bowler) of the NWoBHM band Paralex (which up to then had released 3 demos and a 1980 EP entitled White Lightning – the band would continue to exist until 1986, delivering 3 more demos) joined forces with singer/ guitarist Dave G.
With their leading 7-inch single Beer And Ribs released well ahead of the album (3 months and a half ahead, actually), anticipation for the Falcon (ex-Circle) full-length debut had certainly been rising at Casa Tony... but I have not found myself disappointed with the result!
Gee, found no history-of-the-band relating to this Keyport based New Jersey Prog/ Technical Metal outfit, consisting of guitarist/ singer Matt Lupo (whom appears to be the only remaining original member); guitarist/ melodic singer Greg Kuter, guitarist Ray Suhy (the latter two the latest additions), bassist/ scream singer Chris Alfano (formerly the band's bassist; also active in the band Argonauts), and drummer Seth Rheam (also active with El Drugstone)...so I'll just have

Northern Italy-situated city of Brescia was the place where Tragodia was born, (In 1996) and where their music started to shape. After releasing in 1998 a critical-acclaimed demo-tape, “Dramas in splendent realms”, a self-produced mini-CD in 2001 “All our miseries” and several line-up changes, Tragodia finally had their first album “The Promethean Leagcy” released in 2007 by Dutch label Dark Balance Records.
Just when find my mind completely clouded about how to start this review, I see the opening lines of the label's presentation of this collaboration project, and that misty cloud dissipates with the idea to simply reproduce that text...so here it comes!
This Athens based Greek Metal act was founded in 1997 by bassist Nick M. (whom was actually born and raised in Sweden) and singer/ guitarist George T., and it wasn't until 2005 that the band gained a seeming stability with the joining of drummer Dimitris “Jim” Manolopoulos (an event preceded by the joining of lead guitarist George Papadimitropulos in 2003).
