Metal Edge

Band,
Musician

Metal Edge was created in 1990 by Aggelos Kokkorogiannis (guitars) and Andreas Gerogiakomos (guitars). By 1992 the band had performed in numerous concerts. All that experience gained the band wished to record a number of their song in a studio. The band entered the studio in March 1992. From July 1992 up to February 1993 the band remained inactive due to more changce in their line-up. By February 1993 Takis Sotiropoulos (drums), who was 16 years old at the time but had every potential to lead Metal Edge into a more energetic style, joined the band. By 1994 the band was ready to record their second demo which was scheduled to be finished by the end of the year. By February 1995 their second demo tape, is already circulating and the band is hoping for something better from the record companies. The production is the best the band had ever achieved so far. In early 2001 while Metal Edge had begun recording their first complete album, Christos Ringas (bass) joined the band. The recording for their first album were completed by June and the final mastering was done by July 2001. The album was titled "Back from the Edge" and contained songs from their first two demo tapes with different arrangements and even more intricate guitar work. The cd was mailed to record companies, radio producers, fanzines and friends. The feedback was very positive and the new image of the band coupled with their improved sound created the circumstances for a remarkable comeback. There were numerous contacts with record companies for the distribution of the cd, but to no avail. A lot of changes in the bands line-up led them in the decision not to find a lead singer but to remain a quartet. Andreas Gerogiakomos handled all the vocals leaving all the guitars up to Aggelos Kokkorogiannis. Christos Ringas (bass) and Takis Sotiropoulos (drums) remained in the band. In April 2006 the band started their website (www.metaledge.gr ), where one can find all the band's song in digital form ( mp3 ) and can have free access to their material. The site features an active forum where the band's friend and the fans can share opinions and communicate. The current line-up of the band is : Andreas Gerogiakomos (vocals) Aggelos Kokorogiannis (guitars Christos Ringas (bass) Takis Sotiropoulos (drums)
