Lethal Saint
History
Hailing from the island of Cyprus, in mid 2006, three youngsters - Andreas Kasapis (guitars), Christis Isseyegh (drums) and Christos Papadopoullos (guitars) - decided to form a band that would proudly encompass the tunes of 80's heavy metal, and gave it the name Lethal Saint.
Shortly after the formation of Lethal Saint, in early 2007, lead singer Andreas Pouyioukkas joined and completed Lethal Saint's fleet. Along with various local guest bassists, Lethal Saint started to perform live by joining some local festivals along with other Cypriot metal bands.
In the summer of 2007, Lethal Saint released their first 4-song, self-titled demo. The demo was a great success, so Lethal Saint carried on, writing more songs and giving concerts all around Cyprus.
Then in the summer of 2008, Lethal Saint was titled "band of the year" in Cyprus, after winning the first place at the "Band's Fest" competition, organized by Fishbone Records.
Shortly after that, Lethal Saint started recording their self-titled album in the studios of Fishbone Records. The album was the released in early 2010 under the label of Pitch Black Records. After the album's release, Lethal Saint were interviewed by various local and international radio stations, including "The Classic Metal Show" in New York.
In early 2011, Lethal Saint were asked to participate in a tribute album, by Skol Records, for the band Metalucifer. Lethal Saint's cover of 'Heavy Metal Drill' is on the tribute album which was released at the 2011's Keep It True Festival.
In May 2011, Lethal Saint released another demo. Titled as 'Saint Strikes back' included 3 songs. Two of the songs was released on 7" vinyl via Emanes Metal Records with the same title 'Saint Strikes back', in March 2012. This vinyl was limited to 500 copies.
The band's sophomore album 'WWIII' was released via Pure Metal Records in March 2015. The album includes 11 pieces of powerul heavy metal.
