Khirki

After the success of their debut album "Κτηνωδία" in 2021, Athens heavy rock trio Khirki is back with their highly anticipated second full-length record "Κυκεώνας", which has been slated for release on April 12 via Venerate Industries. Drawing inspiration from the legendary sorceress Circe from Homer's Odyssey, Khirki continues to captivate audiences with their unique blend of Rock'n'Roll and seductive Greek Folk. Despite the challenges of creating a sophomore album, Khirki has managed to uphold their very own mixture of sounds, while also expanding their musical horizons. "Κυκεώνας" weaves mythological tales with traditional instruments, proggy twists, captivating choruses, bass-heavy beats, 70s rock vibes, and powerful metal riffs, creating an intoxicating musical experience. Lyrically, the album pays tribute to the elemental power and symbolism of the sea, delving into themes of storms and the call of freedom. For the recordings, Khirki collaborated once again with acclaimed producer Theodore Zefkilis, known for his work with bands like Rotting Christ and Planet of Zeus, capturing the essence of their sound in Athens during the Spring of 2023. The album artwork was beautifully crafted by Manster Design, enhancing the visual representation of the band's music. Come over and join us as we set sail against the storm! 'Κυκεώνας' will be available on Vinyl, Cd and All Digital Platforms on April 12, 2024.
