Greek (based in Athens) alternative rock/metallers Noiz Ritual have released their first EP ‘Embrace The Noiz’.
Songs, which are included, are:
‘Abuse Me’ (music video, produced by Gabriel Varela and band’s shots by George Mylonas).
‘Feeling Death Inside’ lyric video created by Andy Pilkingkton (Very Metal Art), award winner for artworks, logos and lyric videos for bands such as Mötörhead, Judas Priest, Opeth, Dee Snider etc.
“‘Feeling Death Inside’ is the melancholic tale of a self-absorbed and damaged soul that hopes to find salvation by revisiting the past, only to realize that the past has moved on.”
‘I Wanna Know’ and ‘Robocop’ (visualizer videos).
Νoiz Ritual is a 4+1 piece band that was formed in 2022 by John Varvas (4lt) on vocals, Nick Christolis (Four Sides of Strange, Afterblood, ex-Ghost Season, ex-Potergeist) on guitars, Mantalena Krikelli (Vegan Mosquitoes, Heavenblack, ex-Lost Arcadia) on drums and Ilias Xirogiannis (Imperfection) on bass.
The band was brought together by the shared longing for the 90s grunge music scene and the alternative rock and nu-metal of the 2000s.
Despite Ilias having to move to another country for business reasons, and Yul Sada (Afterblood, Sticky Dog) taking up bass in his place, Ilias still remains in the band as a hidden ace up the sleeve, making guest appearances with his baritone distorted sound produced by his bass and pedals acting as a 2nd guitar.
On September 2023 the band released a cover of the monumental 2000s song ‘My Own Summer’ by the Deftones.
On March 2024 they released the video for the song ‘Abuse Me’, the first single from their debut 4 track EP ‘Embrace The Noiz’, accompanied by the video for the single ‘Feeling Death Inside’.
