FOIVOS – EP «Dιstorted»…(4 December 2020, self-release)
For those of you who search music further and deeper, it is more or less known that Greece is the birthplace of many great musicians, regardless of the music style they serve. Foivos is definitely one of them. He started working as a professional musician at the age of 16! 22 years later with a significant career, he is considered to be one of the most well-known and important guitar players in Greece. He has worked as a session musician with countless bands and artists, serving almost all music styles.
Now, the time is finally right for Foivos to do his own thing and release his own material. His first release is this 6 track EP named “Distorted”. “Distorted” includes 5 original songs and a cover to The Beatles “Eleanor Rigby”. I am not sure for how much time he was working on these tracks, but all I can tell is that they are really tight and made my day!
Let’s get this straight. Instrumental albums have never been easy to follow, but Foivos is really passionate with his art. He invests a lot in his songwriting abilities and of course his performance is flawless. So, they result is really impressive! He also never forgets that he is Greek, so at certain parts of the EP you will get to listen to eastern melodies, like for example on “Schumann Resonance”.
The influences for Foivos music are countless, spanning from metal and rock music down to classical music. Folk and ethnic music are also present. But Foivos composes his songs always with a progressive approach in his mind. The original songs of “Distorted” EP are very interesting and have some very nice melodies. Foivos music is very sensitive but at the exact same time it comes out with a standard rock/metal attitude. The production is just perfect for this instrumental EP. And everything in general about this release is very professional.
All in all, Foivos introduces himself to the audience with “Distorted” EP not only as a guitar player, but as a songwriter this time, too. He is doing really well in that and if “Distorted” was a bet for him, I can tell he won! I am sure rock/metal fans will greatly enjoy this work. I am already looking forward for his first full length! Check out “Distorted” EP for sure!
