George Tsalikis - "Together We Rise" (video)

Since the dawn of time there are those who try
To destroy all the things that bring us joy
I’ve seen throughout history green-eyed jealousy
Rears its ugly head to the world

Spreading outward like a poison
Killing all things with its touch
Wanting nothing more than to destroy

We will stand together
We will all stand strong
In the name of Metal
We will raise our voice in song
To support each other
Side by side and proud
Let them hear our Thunder
As we blast the music loud…
We rise!

They’ll try to dissuade
They’ll try to divide
They know that they cannot defeat us
If we stand united
But we will not fall
For such trickery
We can see through their treachery

If they really thought that we would fall
For such a foolish ploy
They have underestimated us

We will stand together
We will all stand strong
In the name of Metal
We will raise our voice in song
To support each other
Side by side and proud
Let them hear our thunder
As we blast the music loud…
We rise!

Loud as thunder, fast as lightning
Pure unrivaled power
Feel it surging deep inside you
On their knees they cower as we rise

We will stand together
We will all stand strong
In the name of Metal
We will raise our voice in song
To support each other
Side by side and proud
Let them hear our thunder
As we blast the music loud
We will stand together
We will all stand strong
In the name of Metal
We will raise our voice in song

To support each other
Side by side and proud
Let them hear our thunder
As we blast the music loud…
We rise!

Ο Γιώργος Τσαλίκης (όχι ο Έλληνας ποπ τραγουδιστής) συστήθηκε στο "μεταλλικό" κοινό μέσω των Gothic Knights. Ήταν ο τραγουδιστής τους στο πρώτο μισό της δεκαετίας του ενενήντα. Το 1996 έφυγε από τους G.K. και πήγε στους Zandelle, στους οποίος παραμένει μέχρι και τις ημέρες μας.

Ταυτόχρονα είναι τόσο στους Overlorde, όσο και στους Porphyra. Παράλληλα "τρέχει" και το προσωπικό του σχήμα. Το ντεμπούτο τους ("The Sacrifice" 2016) διαδέχθηκε το album "Return to Power" που κυκλοφόρησε στα τέλη Μαρτίου με τον Τσαλίκη να έχει αναλάβει όλα τα μουσικά όργανα πλην τυμπάνων...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Who doesn't know George Tsalikis!? The US metalheads knows him from his days at Gothic Knights in the early to mid-1990s. Since then he is the founding member of Zandelle. In addition, the American singer already impressed in 2016 with his first ever solo work, a vampire themed concept album titled ´The Sacrifice´.

After he has signed a worldwide record deal with Pure Steel Records, he will be releasing his new solo album called ´Return To Power´. As the album title suggests, George Tsalikis is back in power metal with American influences on his ten new songs.

The compositions sound like classic heavy metal of the eighties and nineties and deliver a great anthem factor of the masters voice. Power Metal and George Tsalikis are back.»
