    Brutal, grooving and technical Death,
    you have it here.

    Devenial Verdict breathes new life into Death Metal with a fresh mix of old
    school classics and newer talents.

    Γειά σας!

      Οι MAIDENANCE επιστρέφουν στην έδρα τους το Lazy για την τελευταία τους εμφάνιση εντός των τειχών σε μια συναυλία που θα θυμάστε για πολύ καιρό...
      Η καλύτερη ελληνική -και όχι μόνο- tribute band στους Iron Maiden ξεκίνησε την πορεία της το φθινόπωρο του 2007, έχοντας επικεντρώσει την προσοχή της στα επτά πρώτα άλμπουμ των θρυλικών βρετανών. Αποδίδουν ορισμένα από τα πιο απαιτητικά τους κομμάτια με πάθος, ακρίβεια, δεξιοτεχνία μα πάνω απ' όλα σεβασμό. Η μπάντα αποτελείται από τους:
    - Βίκτωρα Αναστασόπουλο, φωνητικά {Havoc, Sextel)
    - Θανάση Χατζηαγάπη, κιθάρα (Guardian Angel, Sorrowful Winds)
    - Σταύρο Γκατσόπουλο, κιθάρα (Sorrowful Winds, Disharmony)
    - Αλέξανδρο Σταύρακα, μπάσο (Guardian Angel)
    - Γιώργο Καραχάλιο, τύμπανα (Spitfire, Snowblind)
    - Κώστα Ρηγόπουλο, πλήκτρα (Blind Shot) 
     Η συναυλία θα πραγματοποιηθεί το Σάββατο 3 Ιουλίου στις 23:30, στο Lazy club Λεωφ. Πεντέλης 1, Βριλήσσια και η είσοδος είναι 10€ με παγωμένη μπύρα. Μην τους χάσετε!...
