Thrax Punks is a music group from the region of Thrace, which is experimenting and integrating various music elements to its sound. Traditional songs, bear so much authenticity in their melodies and lyrics, that effortlessly remain indelible over time. Each generation adapts its own perspective to these and passes them on to the next. So do Thrax Punks, with their main instruments gaida (bagpipe), davul (drum) and an electric guitar. Through their sounds one can travel to older times, stories and emotions, so timeless that, past, present and future seem to be one. This is exactly what the homonymous album reflects in terms of the band's course. Their brand new “Thrax Punks” has just been released, but it recapitulates the band's long run, both with elements of the past as well as with elements that make it evolve and continue.
Mixes and recordings took place in 2018-2019 at the Royal Alzheimer Hall Studio
Δέντρο είχα στην αυλή μωρ’ τζάνεμ,
κυπαρίσσι στο μπαξέ μου,
κυπαρίσσι στο μπαξέ μου τζάνεμ,
το ποτίζω μαύρο δάκρυ
Το ποτίζω μαύρο δάκρυ τζάνεμ,
το φαρμάκωσα το δέντρο,
το φαρμάκωσα το δέντρο τζάνεμ,
κι έπεσαν τα φύλλα κάτω
Κι έπεσαν τα φύλλα κάτω τζάνεμ,
κι έσκυψα να τα μαζέψω,
κι έσκυψα να τα μαζέψω τζάνεμ,
βρίσκω ένα δαχτυλίδι
Βρίσκω ένα δαχτυλίδι τζάνεμ,
όνομα είχε γραμμένο,
όνομα είχε γραμμένο τζάνεμ,
το όνομα το λεν Μετάξω

As a Frenchman, I discovered VIC very late (2019-2020). I fell in love with Age Of Aquarius. Well, I have to say: I love Riza even more.
If you love Greece (I've been there 4 times), you'll love VIC: a rock marked by traditional Greek music and instruments. Slasher ✨
