Blizzard Metal band

Story

Blizzard is a Heavy Metal band formed in 1992 in Thessaloniki, Greece. The first line-up was Andreas vocals, Alexis Alexandris guitars, Giorgos Arvanitidis bass and BABYSS Arvanitidis drums. In the beginning of 1993 Iordanis Kalpaxidis joined the band as rhythm guitarist, while by the end of 1993 the band appeared for the first time live. Early in 1994 Babyss left the band and drummer John Filippidis replaced him. This was the classic Blizzard line up until late 1995 when Iordanis left the band. Alexis in 1996 left the band as well. So Blizzard stopped being active, somewhere in 1996. In 2016 Giorgos, Andreas and John decided to form the band once again. With guitarist Aggelos Eleftheriadis joined the band, Blizzard have already recorded two full albums, Resurrection in 2019 and Gates of hell in 2020. Late in 2021 Alexis Alexandris joined the band again after 25 years. Now, we are working on our third album. We recently published with Alcyone records our EP hunters in the dark wich consists of four songs that we will gradualy share so everyone has a taste.
