CARGO LIFT

Cargo Lift are formed in autumn of 2016 in Thessaloniki, Greece.
They compose their first songs in April of 2017, which are included in the ‘First’ EP.
The rest of the year, as well as 2018, is dedicated to their first live shows.
In 2019, being more settled about the band’s vision, they record their following work, the ‘Disguised’ EP, as well as their first video clip, for the song ‘I Won’t Fall’.
Both the EP and video clip receive promising reviews from press and fans, pushing the band forward, resulting in multiple live shows and a thrust for new compositions.
In late 2019, Cargo Lift start working on material for their first Full Length album.
Their debut LP, entitled ‘THEN’ comes into existence almost a year later, with the band working non-stop during the Covid-19 stigmatized year, 2020.
‘THEN’ is released on February 12, 2021, and contains 9 tracks, which cover 42 minutes of music, which mainly belong to the heavy rock spectrum.
Later in the year, a video clip for the song ‘Prophecy’ is also aired.
During 2021 and 2022 the band continues to write new music and also performs live on multiple occasions at selected gigs and festivals, in and out of hometown and country.
A lineup change on vocals and bass results in a darker, heavier and more technical songwriting approach, as reflected in the new songs.
Recordings for the new album begin in early 2023, and ‘When Least Expected’ is released on November 20, 2023.
The album contains 9 songs in a much more aggressive and sinister feeling, whereas the lyrics deal with personal struggles, addiction, and the will to carry on.
Cargo Lift’s character is shaped by bands like Faith No More, Tool, Deftones, Meshuggah, The Ocean, Gojira, and many more names of the contemporary rock and metal sound.
