Gothic Knights

Brooklyn Melodic/Power/Heavy Metal! Est. 1990

About Me



Hailing from NYC, Gothic Knights was formed in 1990 by guitarist John Tsantakis with the intention of crafting some of the finest heavy metal around. After gaining label interest from their 1994 demo "To Hell and Back", the band released its 1996 self-titled debut and 1999 Kingdom of the Knights CDs on Sentinel Steel Records. In 2003, the band released its 3rd CD “Up from the Ashes” on Limb Music further establishing them as a force and endearing presence in the world’s heavy metal scene. Over the years, the band has played countless shows, opening for national acts, and participating at several US festivals.
Since their last release, the band has been hard at work writing and arranging material, which will be released on future CDs. However, with the ongoing changes in the music industry, the band also focused its energies on developing a top notch digital recording studio. It was decided that bringing the majority of the recording and production process in house would help Gothic Knights obtain a permanent advantage in the future. Currently, the band is wrapping up pre-production and plans to begin recording its next official release in 2008. A great deal of material has been written, to the point where the band is strongly considering laying down the official drum tracks for not one, but the next two releases!!
