The Music Safari finds – 2013 Prog Rock in Greece – Until Rain – Anthem to Creation
Today the Music Safari lands in Greece – Thessalonki, in particular, where we meet – Yannis Papadopoulos, Theodore Amaxopoulos, Lefteris Germenlis, Bill Gkagkavouzis and Alex Hughes, who collectively form the extremely good and young progressive metal band Until Rain. Actually, the current band differs slightly from the onethat was formed in 2004 by then 14-year old schoolmates, Orestis FIKOS (Bass), Lefteris GERMENLIS (Keyboards) and Alex HUGHES (Drums).The change came between their debut album “The Reign of Dreams” released in 2009 and the follow-up album Anthem to Creation released in 2013 (which by the way was released on my wedding anniversary August 23rd). The changes were two-fold first Yannis Papadopoulos replaced Damianos Roussos on vocals, and secondly Bill Gkagkavouzis replaced Fikos on bass, Time out!! Before we go any further, it’s time for a geography lesson. For all of you haters or those who could care less, you can skip the next part from Wikipedia!
