PAN (ΠΑΝ) is a greek progressive rock-metal band that was
formed around 2010 in
Ptolemaida, Greece. The name of the band comes from the
ancient greek god Pan, who
according to the ancient greek religion and mythology was
the god that combined both human
and animal elements, as he had legs and horns of a goat.
The band plays progressive rock-metal music with stoner and
doom influences but it also has
many ethnic references. The founding members of PAN are
Doros Flamouridis and Bill Karanikolas, which previously were members of the Greek rock
band "Roda tis Erimou" and they had released two full albums. The fist line-up for PAN
was : Doros Flamouridis (bass), Bill Karanikolas (guitars), Giotis Politidis (drums), Nikos
Dimitriadis (vocals).
In 2013, after 3 years of creative proccess, the band
released the self titled debut album "Pan".
It had 9 tracks and it was released in free digital form. In
6th of April 2013, PAN played their first big live as a supporting act for Nightstalker in Ptolemaida.
After the recording of the album, two new members joined the
band. Alex Magkos in guitars and
George Maraslidis who replaced Politidis on drums. In 2015,
the band with the new line-up re- released their first album, adding two new tracks. The first
thing you realize when you hear the album is that PAN's music is complicated and atmospheric.
The band has developed a unique personal style that is hard
to find similar in modern greek metal scene. There are mixed rock, stoner and progressive
metal elements and also traditional greek patterns. The lyrics are mostly greek poems based on
the ancient Greek mythology and especially god PAN.
At 6th and 8th of April in 2013, they played live in to big
shows to support Nightstalker and Rotting Christ in Ptolemaida, Greece.
At 21st of January 2016, Pan played again as a support act
for Nightstalker in Blues Rock Bar Old School in Kozani, Greece.
After 4 years of working their own material and evolving
their style, the band released their second full lenght album, entitled “II”, on 25th of March
2020 via Ikaros Records.
