Heavy Metal with a Greek Twist



Billy Chrissochos' Greek American Heavy metal group "Phoenix Reign" played to a SOLD OUT crowd recently, at the Blender Theater @ Gramercy. New York locals Billy Chrissochos (guitar), Kostas Psarros (guitar), Chris Pollatos (bass), Wayne Noon (drums) and Theresa Gaffney (singer) opened up for the popular European symphonic, metal group Epica.

Being sold out from early in the evening, the 850 capacity crowd loudly cheered as Phoenix Reign rocked out an intensely entertaining show. The set list consisted of popular tracks from their "Destination Unknown" album as well as other powerful hits. Opening the set was "Transcendent" & "Masquerade Angel" (which is also a single and a music video), followed by the thrash-tinged Myrsina (a song based on a Greek fairy tale). Wrapping up the set the soaring double guitar leads of "End of Our World" and the fan favorite "Run Now".

For those not indoctrinated into the world of Phoenix Reign the band is known to throw into the mix Greek history and traditional instruments fully evidenced in their acclaimed epic music video “Constantinople 1453-On the Eve of the Fall”.
