PASSENGERS IN PANIC
“Amnesia”
Passengers In Panic return 5 years after the release of their self-titled debut abum!
They created on 2019 and wanted to present something different. The uniqueness of the band’s sound comes from the mixture of heavy metal and traditional -mainly greek- instruments and rhythm patterns. The Macedonian gainda, the kaval, the laouto, the violin and the daouli create the folk atmosphere that connects all the pieces together.
From the first listen of the songs, it is obvious that the source of inspiration for the lyrics is man himself and the various situations one can experience, such as toxic relationships, human violence, the fight for survival, injustices, but also issues of social content.
They managed to release their maiden album of the same title one year right after their creation, in December 2020 via Sleaszy Rider Records.
After endless touring in Greece and abroad (Czech Republic, Romania) they finished their 2nd album “Amnesia”. Less progressive than their debut and more straight-forward heavy metal, Amnesia focuse once again on social content and lyrics.
Pre-production and arrangements by Yiannis Manopoulos (Thelemite) at ManoSound studios, Athens, Greece.
Mixed and mastered by Psychon, guitarist of Septicflesh Sound Abuse Productions Studio.
Yiannis Tsortekis, contributed in the tracks “Kaixis” and “Erase Me” as a singer and a narrator. The greek actor and director is best known for the successful Netflix series “Maestro”, as well as for his success in many other well-known greek series and films, such as “Fonisa” and “The Chaos She Left Behind” a short film that won the second prize in La Cinef at the 77th Cannes Film Festival.
Christos Antoniou, guitarist of the symphonic death metal band Septicflesh has contributed greatly with symphonic orchestration for the song “How to Breath, that is released as single and video and got amazing feedback so far!
“Kaixis” released last year as single and has so far more than 100.000 views on Youtube. It’s a cover version of a Greek folk/traditional song.
