XLALALA PRESENTS
Sirius – “A Quest for Life” live in Athens
Friday 31 January 2025
Piraeus Club Academy
Heavy metal apotheosis with three Greek bands fire (and steel)
Almost a year after their last appearance at home, the Sirius return stronger than ever to the Piraeus Club Academy stage by their new album “A Quest for Life” which, just months after its release, it has already received rave reviews worldwide. The album features not one, but two legendary guest appearances. THE Tim “Ripper” Owens (KK's Priest, ex-Judas Priest, ex-Iced Earth) and o Derek Sherinian (Black Country Communion, Whom Gods Destroy, ex-Dream Theater) lend their immense talent to tracks such as "Unbound the Scream" and "Land of Swords", adding an extra layer of power and prestige to the release.
The "A Quest for Life" is more than just a collection of killer riffs and powerful vocals. The album delves into the human experience, exploring themes of self-discovery, the choices we make and the consequences we face. Whether it's the personal struggles depicted in "Among the Heavens" either for his redemption story "Desdichado" (inspired by "Ivanhoe" of sir walter scott).
The Sirius, formed in 2007 by the guitarist/singer Dimitris Napa, released their debut EP "Wings of Fire" on December 2, 2017, with his presentation show being sold-out. In August 2019, they released an audio version of it "The Last Angel" which was also accompanied by a video clip, a few days before they appeared with him Luke Appleton of Iced Earth. They have played at various festivals including Under The Quarry.
