About Me

ABOUT IKARIOS:
We are Ikarios, formed by five guys at Weston College with a love for metal and a passion for writing epic songs. We've been gigging since July 2008 and are currently putting together our first proper EP, "What Remains Untold". We've recorded 2 of the tracks that will be on it, and they are up on the player alongside 3 early demo tracks.
Please add, listen and comment on our music (we love good and bad Feedback, it will make us better) and spread the word of Ikarios!
Cheers for reading and listening,
IKARIOS
