SYNESTHESIA

Synesthesia were formed in 2004 by guitarist/songwriter Dim (x-Desertomen, Out of the Lair, Transcending Bizzare?, Dol Ammad) and vocalist/lyricist Stelios (x-Dimensional Traces, Chaorhythm). After years of involvement and performance in the Greek metal scence and based on their strong friendship, Dim and Stelios decided to join forces and created Synesthesia. Dim (situated in Thessaloniki, Greece) started composing and recording new material that deviated from what the Hellenic metal scene had to offer at that time. Fresh ideas featuring a more modern sound and a more innovative structure, but always with a touch of classic metal. Stelios (situated in Leeds, UK) reappeared in the metal scene, after years, with a better-defined vocal style, 'dressing up' Dim's songs with powerful vocal lines and meaningful lyrics. In 2006, drummer Thanasis Lightbridge (Dol Ammad) joined the band to create a concrete and vibrating rhythm section. Synesthesia's debut album (self-financed) is titled 'From Amnesia to Apocalypse' and includes 8 new tracks which are thematically and conceptually interconnected. Inspiration came from various directions and the songs feature a mixture of different metal influences but at the same time promoting a unique attitude and a peronal style.
