Myspace LayoutsNOCTA A METAL BAND FROM ATHENS GREECE. ALL STARTED BACK IN 1998 WHEN THE TWO GUITARISTS, AFTER SERVING THEIR MILITARY TOGETHER, DECIDED TO JOIN ARMS FOR A MORE PEACEFUL CAUSE. IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THEY MANAGED TO PUT A BAND TOGETHER AND ONLY AFTER A WHILE AND A DEMO, THEY WHERE SIGNED BY A GREEK SMALL RECORD LABEL CALLED XRC!!!THE BAND WENT IN THE STUDIO AND AFTER SIX MONTHS THEIR FIRST RECORD WAS REALITY... ''PRIMA NOCTA'' THE GROUPS FIRST RELEASE, A HARD ROCK ALBUM, WITH GREEK LYRICS. THOUGH IT OBTAINED VERY GOOD AND UPLIFTING RECEPTION FROM THE PRESS, IT WAS DOOMED TO SINK IN THE GUTTER OF GREEK REALITY, OTHERWISE DESCRIBED AS: SYRTAKI DANCE, BOUZOUKI, AND GREEK FOLKLORE FOR THE TOURISTS. THOUGH THE ALBUM SOLD WELL FOR THE GREEK STANDARDS AND EVEN THOUGH SOME RIFFS WERE USED AS COMMERCIAL JINGLES, THE BAND WAS DISAPPOINTED AND STARTED A SECOND CARRIER (WHICH WAS MORE SUCCESSFUL) AS A COVER BAND. TO CUT A LONG STORY SHORT, THE TWO FOUNDING MEMBERS, ARES AND KOSTAS WERE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE NEW SITUATION EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE PLAYING IN RELEVANT SMALL BUT ALWAYS SOLD OUT PLACES. AFTER SERIOUS DISCUSSIONS SERIOUS BEER DRINKING AND A CHAIN OF " INCIDENTS" THEY AGREED TO SACK EVERYBODY AND SEND THE BAND TO OBLIVION. IT WAS 2002.IN THE SUMMER OF 2003 THINGS CHANGED FOR THE BETTER. STAVROS J, OLD FRIEND OF THE GROUP AND THEIR SOUND ENGINEER ON MANY OCCASIONS, A SINGER, LYRICIST AND COLLABORATOR OF A VERY WELL ESTABLISHED POP, ROCK BAND THAT WE ALL LOVE TO HATE HERE IN GREECE. DECIDED TO JOIN IN FOR A FRESH START. THINGS HAD TO CHANGE, AND THEY DID.AFTER SEVERAL AUDITIONS A BASS PLAYER WHO LOOKS LIKE ONE!! 6FT TALL AND 110 KILOS JOINED FORCES WITH US, HIS NAME APOSTOLIS NATSIOS. A BLACK SABBATH WORSHIPER, A R. BLACKMORE FANATIC, AND AN UNREPENTANT HOOLIGAN IS LAYING THE BASS FOUNDATION FOR A NEW SOLID METAL BEGINNING.LYRICS SWITCHED TO ENGLISH, GUITARS GREW ANGER AND FINALLY A VOICE THAT REALLY ROCKS.2004 THE BAND RELEASED COME OUT(WHEREVER YOU ARE) DEMO .WHICH MADE QUITE AN IMPACT TO GREEK AND EUROPEAN PRESS,THE REVIEWS THAT THE BAND RECEIVED WERE VERY SUPPORTING AND FINALLY THE BAND FELT COMFORTABLE TO RECORD AND RELEASE ALL THEIR MATERIAL.GEORGE KOLLIAS (MEMBER OF NIGHTFALL&NILE),AND A VERY GOOD FRIEND ,SAT BEHIND THE DRUMS AND THE BAND WAS BACK IN BUSINESS!!!.13 SONGS WERE RECORDED AND THEN THE BAND TRAVELLED TO GERMANY TO MIX THE ALBUM AT SOUNDLODGE STUDIOS ,WITH THE HELP OF AN EXCELLENT MUSICIAN AND SOUND ENG.
