Eleftheria
Austrian Melodic Power Metal Band
Eleftheria was founded in 2004, and has been in existence in it's current lineup since about that time. We play Melodic Power Metal, with a lot of different influences due to the diverse musical backgrounds of our various members. So we include elements from Black or Death metal as well as folks elements and traditional Heavy Metal parts. Furthermore, the availability of 4 singing voices adds to the diversity of the songs. Anyone interested in traditional European-style Metal should risk a download, and maybe even someone who doesn't especially like that genre might be pleasantly surprised.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We like to play live very much, in fact so far we are probably a better live than studio band ;) But we're working to improve the studio work as well of course! We've only played a few shows so far, the best experience was probably a Metal Band Contest in May this year, where we made 2nd place (out of 10 bands) in our only second ever gig, and even scored a pretty good ranking in that contest's finals!
Right now we only play in Austria (mostly Vienna and surroundings, but we also played in Graz), but of course we hope that some day we may be able to play elsewhere as well!
Your musical influences
What you can expect from Eleftheria (hopefully more mp3s to come in the near future): Heavy guitars, great melodies, interesting and sometimes thoughtful lyrics, and hopefully a great time listening to our songs!
Our musical influences range from bands like Stratovarius and Hammerfall over the terrific vocal works of Savatage, over darker regions of metal like Dimmu Borgir and Children of Bodom to classics like Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Judas Priest and many contemporary bands from the Melodic Metal Genre (Rhapsody, Kamelot, Human Fortress, Altaria, Sonata Arctica, Helloween...)
What equipment do you use?
Well since we are a metal band we only have some keyboards in ways of electronic equipment. Our keyboarder uses Korg, Roland and Yamaha boards.
Anything else?
Check our tunes and let us know what you think in the guestbook!
Be seeing you on stage!
