There are four bands named Persona Non Grata. 1) Greek Progressive Metal Band. 2) A Hungarian band which plays, in their own words, “jazzy-funky-hc-dub-electro”. 3) A French coldwave/post-punk band from Rouen. 4) Slovak Hardcore/Crust band from Vranov nad Toplou 5) A short-lived Dutch punk band, which only played one or two shows, opening for much better bands. Persona Non Grata's formation began in 2003 when John Ioannidis (keyboards) invited Chris Gatsos (guitars) to join his group Fatal Error. It didn't take long for John and Chris to realize that they had to move on to progressive metal music which was a mix of rock that John loved to play and heavy metal that Chris grew up with. In order to achieve this they had to change the band's line up. During this period they focused on writing the music which would be the material for their first CD "Shade In The Light". It was 2 years later when vocalist, Bill Axiotis, joined the PnG group and they started recording this album. They asked session musicians Akis Gavalas (drums) and Chris Vogiatzis (Bass) to help record the album. When the sessions were over they felt a synergy with the three members of the band and came on board permanently, completing the lineup of Persona Non Grata. Their official Myspace page.
