Everflow

Highly competent Melodic Power-Progressive Metal band from Ptolemaida (West Macedonia) – home of genre veterans ANXIETY with whom EVERFLOW shared members. The band was founded in 1998 and recorded their first (?) demo CD a few years down the road, entitled “A Dream Within a Dream” (2001). Although the cover art may leave more to be desired, the music is highly skilled and carefully composed, bringing comparisons to classic US acts such as CRIMSON GLORY, FATES WARNING and QUEENSRŸCHE. Unfortunately, we do not have the complete lineup for this particular recording session.

A second demo was released in 2009, bearing the same name as their subsequent full-length debut (“Abandoned”). At the time, the band consisted of Markos Valavanis (vocals – ANXIETY, DIVINE REQUIEM, METALLY INSANE), Dimitris Dounas (guitars), Takis Tairidis (guitars – ANXIETY, DIVINE REQUIEM), John Chatzigiannis (bass) and John Nalbandis (drums). This recording worked as a build-up to the eventual release of EVERFLOW’s first (and only) full-length album “Abandoned”, issued in 2011 on Steel Gallery Records. Working within a similar framework as they did on the outset of their career, the increased technical and compositional skills of the band marks “Abandoned” as the arguable crowning achievement of EVERFLOW.
