ΑΦΑΝΕΙΑ (AFANIA)

The origins of ΑΦΑΝΕΙΑ lie between the bounds of reality and the obscure nature of the metaphysical. Concepts like death, transcendence and everyday struggle, become pathways to an esoteric exploration, mirroring the ugliest aspects of human existence itself, in the search for a true meaning in a meaningless world. The expressive tool of that endless search came to be ΑΦΑΝΕΙΑ, a quartet that works its way down to the darkest pits of the minds, translating the unconscious into death poetry. Musically unbound, ΑΦΑΝΕΙΑ, dress their so-called "nihilistic" with art guitars of suspended harmony, hypnotic drum fills and ground-shaking bass lines, focusing on a well-balanced orchestration that wills to create sonic masses which fuse sonic force with emotional charge. The "progressiveness" of the music can't be denied, though all band members see their product as an expansion of the doom/heavy rock/black metal tradition, which is certainly prominent in the Greek scene. ΑΦΑΝΕΙΑ's debut album "Μακριά απ'τον Κόσμο" was released by Moon Fuzz Recordings on March 2nd 2023, and since then, the release made great impressions securing itself on the 3rd place of the best Greek releases chart of Anthem.gr, and getting serious support by a lot of heavy music magazines and websites such as Hellenic Metal World, Metal Hammer, Rocking.gr etc. The live presence of ΑΦΑΝΕΙΑ is defined by its embracing blackened energy, exquisite frontmanship and musical accuracy that the members of the band put out in every show, either playing in a full venue or a smaller and less filled club. Counting a good number of successful live appearances around Greece and Bulgaria, looking into the future, ΑΦΑΝΕΙΑ are currently playing every gig they can get, projecting their esoteric universe to every ear that wills to join the search
