Για πρώτη φορά η πόλη της Χαλκίδας υποδέχεται ένα heavy metal συγκρότημα ευρωπαϊκής φήμης φιλοξενούμενο σε έναν από τους ομορφότερους χώρους της πόλης! Μετά την Ευρωπαϊκή τους περιοδεία με τους MYSTIC PROPHECY και FIREFORCE, οι CRYSTAL TEARS επιστρέφουν στην πατρίδα τους να τελειώσουν αυτό που άρχισαν. Η “Hellmade European Tour” ολοκληρώνεται στη Χαλκίδα! Η βραδιά ανοίγει με τους blues/rockers THE JOE BAND και με τους heavy metalers SHADY STREET!
The Joe Band:
The Joe Band was formed in the winter of 2014 by 7 friends, who decided to cross their music paths & meet at the “crossroad of rock”. They’re currently covering famous numbers from the 60s to the 80s, while they’re preparing their own original material to be unleashed this summer.
Shady Street:
Shady Street is the side project of Clairvoyant’s guitar/bass player, Chris Kalavris. Together with Stelios Drougas (drums), Dimitris Tournas (vox) & Nick Matousis (bass) they have been rocking Evoia & Athens since 2004 performing famous hard rock/classic heavy/power metal tracks together with their own original material. Their influences can be traced in the roots of Whitesnake, Rainbow, Scorpions up to Judas Priest, Riot, Helloween etc. “…the world is full of kings and queens, who blind your eyes and steal your dreams… It’s HEAVEN and HELL”!
Crystal Tears:
“The world’s a stage, we plug & play”! With a steady evolution from the band’s first demos to its latest instalments, Crystal Tears have managed to leave their mark as one of the most qualitative heavy metal acts of Greece. Marrying melody & aggressiveness with an attitude at the same time, roots can be traced back to the good ol’ heavy metal up to the new metal patterns. From the band’s debut release it didn’t took long until they shared stages with the likes of W.A.S.P., Riot & Jag Panzer, receiving an overwhelming applause by the worldwide metal underground scene. A few years later their second album was unleashed & having conquered quite a few poll places as one of the best power metal works of the year & being airplayed almost in every metal radio station around the globe, their first greek tour was initiated. No time to lose & after a line-up upgrade, the band would start working on new material that would become their third full-length album… “Hellmade”! Having stepped it up a gear, Crystal Tears sound more brutal, heavy & melodic than ever before. With producer R. D. Liapakis (Mystic Prophecy, Devil’s Train, Suicidal Angels etc.) on the front once again, the band evolved in a metal riffing machine, stop at nothing. Metal riffs, shredding guitars, pounding rhythms & catchy melodies, for once more the guys have proven to be natural instinct fighters dedicated heart & soul, managing to sound constantly inspired, fresh & to reinvent themselves. And as good ol’ friend Ryan Roxie (Alice Cooper band) says… “all is rock”!
