ABOUT THE DRUMMER
Many describe Stergios Kourou as one of the most talented metal drummers in Greece. It is essential to mention that he is an educated musician and the composer of many songs released under the name of the progressive metal band, Horizon’s End. He joined them back in 1996 and recorded together the albums, Sculpture On Ice (WMMS 1998), Concrete Surreal (SGR 2001), and also “Intensification (2005)” yet unreleased. Up to now in overall, Stergios recorded 7 albums with several bands whether as a full member or as a session musician in various styles such as Metal, Rock, Pop and Instrumental.
In a parallel course, Stergios also worked with some very popular artists, like guitarist Gus G (Ozzy Ozbourne,Firewind), Michael Boremann (Jaded Heart, Bonfire, Redrum) and performed live in all popular Balkan venues as a headliner, or as an opening act for bands like RONNIE JAMES DIO, PAIN OF SALVATION, CRIMSON GLORY, THERION, U.D.O., PRIMAL FEAR, SABBAT, HEIR APPARENT, SACRED STEEL
ABOUT HORIZON'S END
"Greece is not only famous for its ouzo, the acropolis or its national soccer team, no, it is also the land of the self-willed Metal bands. Most of the time you have the impression that the nineties didn’t exist in this country. This is not the case with HORIZON’S END, for their idols are definitely called DREAM THEATER and several proggies from the 70ies. Besides Italy’s ARKHE I haven’t found a better band from this genre yet. Meanwhile I have to count our Greek friends among them as well.
What the guys deliver here really has substance, class and artfulness. Luckily the band doesn’t quite approach its music too sterilely and technically, for with all the love for details and the pleasure to experiment you always feel that they pay attention to the melody. Of course this is no easy listening stuff and friends of daring instrumental rides are satisfied, but I’m positively surprised. The Metal factor is quite minimal, such that the pure Prog Rocker is addressed as well. Yet it’s heavy, but all the Prog bands such as IQ, SPOCK’S BEARD or SATELLITE are as well nowadays.
It must be expected that all manners of non-metallic instruments are used here. Fans of the above-mentioned bands must give this album a listen. It kills! Check out tip: “Under The Face Of Regret” or the neat opener “Dividing Vanity”."

ABOUT THE NEW PROJECT
Stergios’s newborn art child is willing to serve in the best possible way the music he grew up with and still loves deep, Heavy Metal. Considering its successful fusion of power metal with unique melodic and prog elements as well as the band member’s focus and high technical skills, it seems that they are strongly willing to put their mark on the metal genre.
The debut album recordings took place in several studios, during the Fall of 2010, where they achieved to get the proper sound for their musical statement, while the cover artwork is done by Michal Karcz, who belongs to the team of the famous Rainer Kalwitz (album artworks for Shadow Gallery, Century Media, Massacre , Inside Out labels a.m.m.). Resulting a powerful metal sound with heavy and fast riffs, super melodic vocal lines, outstanding technical guitar solos and a strong tight rhythm section, all packed together in a solid quality sound production, it can surely please all true metalheads, real fans of Judas Priest, Dio, Sanctuary, Conception and Fates Warning.
Stay tuned for all details, links etc very soon….
