Warlord
One of the greatest concert frustrations of the Hellenic Heavy Metal Community is about to be resolved this coming April, as the Legendary Warlord will finally arrive in Greece for TWO concert events that noone should miss!!
The Californian Lyric Heavy Metal band was formed in the early 80s by Greek-American composer and guitarist Bill Tsamis and drummer Mark Zonder. Few bands with such a limited discography were so influential as Warlord has been as with one EP (1983’s “Deliver Us”) one Single (“Aliens/Lost And Lonely Days”) and one full length album (1984’s “And The Cannons Of Destruction have begun”) were enough to fuel and maintain their legend alive for 18 years until their 2002 limited-time reunion that gave us (“Rising Out Of The Ashes” – featuring Hammerfall’s Joacim Cans on vocals).
The persistent rumors for the re-activation of the band were confirmed few months ago, but no-one, not even in his or her wildest dreams, could imagine that the band that has only appeared twice live in its history (Both within the 2002 Wacken festival) will perform TWICE in Greece!!!
In guitarist Bill Tsamis’ own words:
“Mark Zonder and I have worked very hard to bring Warlord to Greece in April 2013. In the wake of a new album we are prepared to unleash the full power and fury of Warlord to the die hard fans in Greece, as well as to any others who would like to witness this thunderstorm in Thessaloniki and Athens. From the stagecraft, to the prdocution and presentaion, as well as the music of Warlord from all eras, Mark and I have put together a group that will astonish you — yes, “astonish” you. If you think you know what to expect, forget about it . . . because what we are bringing is beyond your wildest dreams. We want to thank the fans for their undying support over all these years. It is “you” who have kept the flame burning all these years and we are coming to fan those flames before your very eyes into a massive firestorm. You have set high standards because you are Warlord fans – and Warlord fans are some of the most discerning fans in metal. Well, we will not only meet your expectations but we will transcend them and give you a production of Warlord that you will never forget. We are on fire about coming to Greece . . . we hope you are as excited and energized as we are for the coming conflagration. Mark and I are aware that we owe you all a huge debt . . . thus, we are coming to pay you. Be there !!!”
Bill Tsamis, Mark Zonder and co. will be found in Thessaloniki (Wednesday, April 24th, 2013 at Mylos Club) and Athens (Saturday, April 27th, 2013 at Gagarin 205) for TWO shows that will make history!
