History

The Circle Of Zaphyan was created at the start of 2002 by Athanassios Aggelis (who is the basic composer) and Kostas Savvidis (ex-Nightfall). Later on Apollon Zigomalas joined the band as the vocalist and lyrics writer.

The style of the music can be described as sinister/space death metal. The basic concept of the lyrics concern mostly space, strange phenomena of the universe, science and technology, all that filtered through a "veil" of inner searching, with a mood of melancholy and dark atmosphere... With one word, chaotic.

The first interference came in april-may 2002, with the 'Sublimation' demo. The demo contained 3 tracks and was recorded in our personal studios, the Zero Gravity Studios. Production was also made by Athanassios. The logo and artwork of the demo was created by Apollon's friend, Draenzarth (End). In the 2nd quarter of 2004, a new promo came out entitled 'Flesh Without Soul'. Right now, the band have completed the debut album entitled 'Biochemical Psychosynthesis Eternal', which is planned to be released soon.

In the meantime 2 session members joined: George Kollias (Nightfall, Sickening Horror) on the drums and Ilias Daras (Sickening Horror) on the bass guitar. In September 2004 the band decided to cut-off every string attached to G. Kollias and replaced him very quickly with Antonis Kollaros who is now the new, permanent drummer of the band.This is the first time the band exists as a trio.
