Helion

Born in 2012 from the idea of the guitarist/vocalist Massimiliano, the band developed an hybridized mixture of technical death metal and other subgenres, including classical and folk music elements, with Massimiliano as the main composer of the material. In April 2014 they began recording their first EP "Duat's Calling", produced by A Mano Armata Dischi and self-released it in the beginning of 2015, promoting it by on stage alongside acts such as Hideous Divinity, Deceptionist, Ad Nauseam, Mass Infection and many more. Between 2016 and 2017 the band started writing new material for the first full lenght release, recording and releasing a Promo EP of two songs in the fall; right after it a major formation change led the actual bassist Andrea Cividini to join the bandstarted writing new material and kept on playing live. In the early 2018 the formation took a brake due to heavily scheduled commitments both for Massimiliano and Andrea with other projects and jobs, regrouping in the second half of the year so as to attend few local shows and to finish the recording session of the new material. In 2019 the band welcome Alessandro Francesco Caruso (Despising Age, ex-Ira) as the new drummer, self releasing a third EP called "Legacy of the Serpent" during the summer and promoting it on stage with band like Aborted, Antropofagus, Beheaded and many others. In 2020 the band signs a deal with Revalve Records and releases the new album "The Great Fall" on the 20th of March.
