Achelous - 'Dragon Wings' (official lyric video)

Οι Achelous δημιουργήθηκαν πριν από δεκατρία έτη ως το προσωπικό σχήμα του Chris Achelous (ο οποίος έπαιζε όλα τα μουσικά όργανα). Σιγά - σιγά εξελίχθηκαν σε "κανονικό" συγκρότημα. Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει τρία demos, δύο EPs ("The Cold Winds of Olympus" 2015, "Northern Winds" 2021), ισάριθμα singles συν δύο "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους ("Macedon" 2018, "The Icewind Chronicles" 2022), με τον τρίτο να βρίσκεται προ των πυλών. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Tower of High Sorcery" και αναμένεται στα τελειώματα του πρώτου ανοιξιάτικου μήνα...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Achelous return with the third full-length album "Tower of High Sorcery", on March 22, 2024. With "Macedon" in 2018 and "The Icewind Chronicles" in 2022, Achelous built a strong following in the underground metal scene.

The combination of thunderous and straight-forward epic heavy metal with atmospheric passages have become a trademark for Achelous and now they're adding even more flame and passion in their music, while there is a step forward in every aspect, including musicianship and performance.

With the "Tower of High Sorcery", Achelous will establish their place in the current Epic Heavy Metal scene. The album is recorded, mixed and mastered by Stathis Pavlantis at Dark Water Audio. Produced by Achelous and Stathis Pavlantis. Cover art by Silvana Massa Art.»
