“One step from the Edge” were created in Ioannina in 2016. The sound of the band is a mix of many different musical genres, but is based on a modern sound with massive, groovy and melodic guitars, heavy rhythm section and the use of both clean, melodic and brutal vocals. There are elements of technical thrash, the heavy American sound, metalcore, hardcore and other metal and rock genres.
The name of the band “One step from the Edge” was inspired by the “image” of a man wavering between “being” and “not being”, existence and non-existence, life and death, in front of an edge. More generally, however, it symbolizes every critical moment, any important decision in his life that determines his course.
“One step from the Edge” lineup is:
Alex Seretis, vocals
Alex Pregou, guitars
Kostas Tsapos, guitars
Kostas Pourgiazis, bass
Nick Stakas, drums
Maria Mosxeta, keys and programming
“Beneath the Surface” was recorded by Achilleas Kalantzis in “Crown Audio Conspiracies” studios from December 2016 until October 2017 in Ioannina Greece.
The lyrics are mainly about personal, social, political and economic issues, such as the reality that exists today, as well as society in general.
