Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Coming from a classical background, having studied piano for 8 years and having contributed my piano and keyboard skills and ideas from Greek Rock to Melodic-Black Metal bands, I realized that it was time to move forward and create something of my own a place where I would be artistically free to perform and compose. During the time when I was still experimenting with sound and various music styles, having written Dark Ambient, Ambient Electronic / Chill-out tracks, as well as some Film music, the concept of a band that would combine pretty much all of my influences was beginning to take shape; Metal being my main influence (for over a decade now) would provide the base for the Dark Atmospheres, Orchestral-Soundtrack parts and Female vocals to be laid upon.
Thus, Phobos Corporation was born. Within a weeks time I composed the 3 tracks that you will find in the Demo and went off to record the female vocals at "Studio Effect" in Athens, under the constant supervision and helping hand of friend and producer Graig Laggios. After a 2-week stay there, our first demo "As the Angel Stared" was released.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Haven't played yet, as the band is relatively new to the scene.
