Orion's Reign

about

Orion's Reign was formed in 2001, consisting then of Themis (guitar), Harris (guitar), Kostas (bass) and Noel (drums). Prior to this line up, other musicians were auditioned by or even joined with founding members Themis and Harris, but there was no real band back then, and therefore it's an era not worth mentioning. The four jammed together and came up with some tunes marking the first and primitive, classic heavy metal era of the band. Somewhere in 2003 Harris left the band and Michael joined in, adding the much needed lead guitar elements. Kyriakos (keyboards) became a Reign member at about the same period and the band gradually shifted from classic heavy metal to a more epic/power sound. The first demo, "Steel Horizons", was released in 2003, containing two instrumental songs. Needless to say, the band was having a pretty hard time recruiting a vocalist, as none of the auditioned fulfilled the requirements. Despite the difficulties, the song Steel Horizons made it to the 2004 Greek metal compilation "Greece Attacks, The Next Assault" and received good reviews. On the same year (2004) another demo was released. "The Guiding Light" featured the songs from "Steel Horizons" and a country influenced ballad (a guest vocalist helped us with that one). The band continued rehearsing, waiting for the right person to finally show up at the auditions. At last, after numerous disappointments, Yiannis (vocals) was auditioned somewhere in 2005 and immediately got the job. The band was
