Theodore Ziras - Monster 5 album cover

Theodore Ziras is a virtuosic guitarist from Poros, Athens. He has released three full length albums under the label Secret Port Records, one as an independent artist and the latest through Sleaszy Rider Records. Excepting the very talented style of Theodore, another guest appearance is very interesting. Sergey Boykov is appearing in the new album playing keyboards. Drums were recorded by Christian Nativo in Australia and keyboards in Estonia.

His fifth instrumental album is being characterized by melodic Heavy Metal riffs and mid tempo rhythms with RAINBOW atmosphere cover them. Of course in tracks like "Alex left the building", "Liquid fire" and "Tearing apart" you will find good quality of Power Metal. On these tracks the tempo is on fire. The playing of Ziras will remind you Malmsteen and the music in general like FIREWIND and some guitar parts of ROYAL HUNT. I would characterize his style as Neoclassical Metal music with epic solos of Ziras as a huge trademark. After four full length albums without any disappointment for me, Ziras is keeping on composing attractive instrumental Metal music for everyone. He is evolving album by album and without being bored to your ears. Check his album out!
