Arryan Path - Terra Incognita (2010)

[Orfanos]

As I saw that there's interest in power metal coming from the beautiful island of Cyprus, I think that you guys (and gals) have to give a chance to Arryan Path.

Yes, I understand that the band's moniker may cause speculation, but Arryan Path's songs don't have any deal with Nazism or something like that.

They play top quality power metal and they are recommended to everyone on this forum. Tunes like "Cassiopeia" (with the guest appearance of ex-Sanvoisen singer, Vagelis Maranis, who also made the production and the mix of the album) and "Minas Tirith" are some of the best power metal songs I have listened for many years.

You can check two of their new tunes here: http://www.myspace.com/arryanpath

They sound really good, especially the vocalist, good heavy strong voice.

 

[Orfanos]

Glad you liked it J-Man! And, of course, Nicholas Leptos is one of the best (if not the best) heavy metal vocalists in Greece and Cyprus.

You can also check his other band, Prodigal Earth, which released its debut at 2009: http://www.myspace.com/prodigalearth

Interesting. They got potential. Not amazing, but not half bad!

I think the name has really hurt this band. They have been around for awhile now. Although I get the meaning of the name and know it is not necessarily associated with... Sadly that will always be the assumption. At first glance one might think it is an Oi hardcore band, I'm sure there is on under this moniker.

Here's the lead singer of Arryan Path (from their web site):

Seriously... was Mein Führer taken?

Jokes aside, the two songs on their MySpace are quite good. I'm definitely going to check out the disc. Thanks for the recommendation.

Wrong hand, but funny nonetheless.

Wrong band?

 

[edgeofthorns]

Yeah, I think I'd be considering a name change if I were these guys.

[Palabra de Dios]

Yeah, the first thing I thought when I saw this topic is a potentially provocative band name.

Wrong band?

Wrong "HAND". The solute is with the right hand.

 

[Pellaz]

lol, we'd be better off if the "appropriate" hand for the Nazi salute had been completely forgotten.

I have to agree about the band-name. In a musical world where first impressions are critical, you can't afford to lose that first chance to something as insidious as accidental association.

I remember back in the day when Superior, from Germany, sometimes had to address similar "superior race" concerns.

I agree for the most part Sir. But if we forget we are in danger of repeating history. Remember the Alamo and stuff like that.

Yeah but the guy is pointing in the air, he's not doing the flat hand in the air thing. You know how many lead singers in bands do that exact motion? Still though, as others have said they really need a different band name.

Good stuff. To me, it sort of sounds like a mix of power metal and old school doom.

Cover art, at first glance, seems like a cheap copy of Symphony X's V or maybe some Adagio... is the music in that mould too?

I thought it was obvious that I was posting that picture as a joke. I didn't really think they'd post a picture of their lead singer giving a Nazi salute on their MySpace page.

Gotcha. Hard to tell sometimes with online quotes. Plus, I was only awake for about 10 minutes when I initially commented. Haha.

I was thinking more in terms of the Gamma Ray's "Blast From the Past" album cover myself.

 

[batmura]

Spot on obvervation! That's it indeed.

No worries. Sarcasm and humor often doesn't come across perfectly on the net.
