EVERFLOW
– Abandoned
Steel Gallery Records
Everflow, a Greek metal band originating from
Ptolemaida in Northern Greece, released their debut album "Abandoned"
after a 13-year period since their formation in 1998. The band is recognized as
one of the notable active metal groups from Northern Greece, alongside bands
such as Dark Nightmare.
The lineup features vocalist Markos Valavanis, whose
previous experience includes singing in the band Anxiety, which contributed to
the compilation "Greece Attacks" and produced two demos, one in 1990
and another in 2002. Guitarist Takis Tairidis also participated in Anxiety.
"Abandoned" showcases a power-progressive
metal style, with production handled locally in Ptolemaida. The recording
quality is commendable, highlighting the band's technical proficiency, particularly
in guitar work and vocal performance. The album's composition aligns well with
the genre, with notable tracks including "Cry," "Genius?,"
and "Forgive Me."
Live performances observed from the band suggest a
solid execution of their material. The album demonstrates a mature sound,
supported by Steel Gallery Records' efforts to deliver a high-quality release
package.
In the context of recent releases within the
power/progressive metal subgenre, "Abandoned" by Everflow stands out
as a significant contribution. It is recommended for fans of the genre seeking
new material from established Greek metal bands.
