Misty Route: From where the cradle of antiquity stood!

Tweet

I often mention that there are many not necessarily so famous band that are awesome and extreme good. Today we celebrate and honor the very skilled and fine band Misty Route from where the cradle of antiquity stood!

Misty Route is a newly (2019) formed alternative metal band from Athens, Greece. On 26/12/2021 they are planning to release their debut digital album, entitled Without A Trace. In order to announce the release of the album the band decided upfront to publish a music video clip on 21/11/2021 and a lyric video on 05/12/2021. The track Sweet Revenge out 21.11.2021 with lyrics by Lefteris Saatsakis.

Their music is inspired by a mixture of different musical genres and is characterized mainly by its ambient character and escalating groove. Touches of psychedelic rock are harmonically brought together with metal breakouts.

Following a first release of 3 demo songs in 2020, Misty Route is now as mentioned above officially launching on 26/12/2021 its debut full-length album entitled Without A Trace.

All the three of us are self-taught musicians for the greatest part of our music life. More or less experienced with music theory, live performances and bands, whenever we write new songs we let the music and our emotions lead us, beyond any boundaries and rules. We do not feel the need to belong somewhere per se in terms of style. This is also reflected in our widely varying influences:

Kostas – drums:
+ Progressive power metal: Drem Theater, Fates Warning, Circus Maximus, Pagan`s Mind, DGM. Symphony X.

+ Deathcore metal: Borh Of Osiris, Chelsea Grain, The Art Is Murder, Lorna Shore, Fit For A Aotopsy, Despised Icon + Leprous, Tereract, Periphery, Oceans Ate Alaska, Arch Enemy, Jiner.

George – bass:
Soad, Maximum The Hormone, Tool, Mastodon, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Alkinoos Ioannidis, Primus, Stone TemplePiilots, AFI, Linkin Park, Deftones

Lefteris – guitar/vocals: Metallica, Godsmack, Opeth, Tool, Deftones, Linkin Park, Pink Floyd, Soad, Ratm, Audioslave, Killswitch Engage, Lamb Of God, Rammstein, In Flames, Earthside, Russian Circles.

Wow! That was many and nice inspirations sources!

Sweet Revenge lyrics:

You’ve been warned

you’re taking this too far

The rope is

ready to break apart

All this rage

gathered inside of me

In my cage

I want to break free

I‘ll survive

no matter what

and when you think I’m gone

I will be back to prove you wrong

and when you think I’m dead

I will be right behind your head

I’m afraid

You‘ve passed my ending line

Here I come

to take back what is mine

Be prepared

to face my other side

You can’t hide

I‘ll chase you far and wide

No retreat

no matter what

and when you think I’m gone

I will be back to prove you wrong

and when you think I’m dead

I will be right behind your head

Come

If you dare

I am on the verge of paranoia

Get within my reach and I will haunt ya

Sweet revenge awaits around the corner

I won’t stop until I see you suffer

I am on the verge of paranoia

Get within my reach and I will haunt ya

Sweet revenge awaits around the corner

I won’t stop until I see you suffer
