Bio:

ARRAYAN PATH was born in 1997.ARRYAN PATH is the personal project of singer/songwriter Nicholas Leptos but it started out as a real band in 1997 with friend and guitarist Clement Fung. Throughout the years Nicholas has had great help from his brother Socratis Leptos and friends Nicholas Philippou, Chris Ioannides, Nicholas Demetriou, Paris Lambrou and from special guest appearances.The band’s latest album, “Terra Incognita”, was recorded at Maranis Studios in Germany and was mixed and mastered by Vagelis Maranis (SANVOISEN) who also guests on one of the album’s tracks singing along Nicholas Leptos. Maranis also helped with some of the guitar and bass work on the album.It should be noted that the word “arryan” (double r) is a type of flower and has absolutely nothing to do with neo-nazism or other extreme political views.

Album:

Back in the 90’s who would have guessed that this small band from Cyprus would eventually reach eight albums. And not the typical eight song releases that look and sound the same. Eight inspired albums full of emotional epic power metal with references to both ancient and modern Greek history and Anatolian music. And thus, we reach the band’s ninth album, only two years after the exquisite “Marble Gates To Apeiron”.“Thus Always To Tyrants” is the band’s first concept album, the epic saga of King Evagoras, the quintessential monarch of Cyprus, who, back in 400 b.c. managed to unite all Cypriot independent cities in order to create a nation. Not an easy task and his tale is full of blood, battles, political mischiefs, and betrayals.Musically, the new album tends to swift from their previous ones, yet it retains all the main characteristic trademarks of their sound: the strong emotions, be it joy, rage, anguish, all buffed by the bell like vocals of Nicholas Leptos (yes the one who sung with WARLORD in their last days) and the modern bombastic epic / power metal music. However this time the songwriting tends to swift to a more epic mid-tempo style, a style that it is reminiscent of “Archegonoi” and the legendary “Road to Macedonia”: epic, pompous songs, mid-tempo melodies, and song structures that fit the narration of Evagoras’ story.There are a couple of straight rockers like “Crossing Over to Phoenicia” or “Of Royal Ancestry”, yet they are a small minority in a clearly epic album. And although the songs are connected to each other, if I had to choose a couple of highlights I’d mention “Of royal ancestry”, “The raid of Achaemenids”, “The king Aegis…” and of course the epic “Army of the Myrmidons…”.As always Nicholas Leptos, dominates everything with his voice. Above all he is the clear protagonist of the band, yet everything would be in vain if it wasn’t for the magnificent songwriting and (as always) the crystal clear production.ARRAYAN PATH hit the spot this time. “Thus Always To Tyrants” is an intriguing album, that challenges the listener to follow an epic tale, yet enjoy seventy minutes of class A++ power metal. Don’t miss one of the highlights of the year.
