Greek power metallers POWERCROSS proudly announce their new and third overall full-length “Echoes Of Elysium / Part I”, set for release on January 16th 2027 via Elevate Records. The album’s opening track “Sign of the Cross” has been premiered with a lyric video.
POWERCROSS was founded by two friends, Spiros Rizos and Chris Stergianidis, in December 2022 in Athens to create power metal with loads of riffs and guitar harmonies. As Chris left the band for personal reasons, Spiros took over the band leadership, crafting all compositions and orchestration as the sole guitar player. The first full-length ”The Lost Empire” was released in 2024, followed one year later by the album ”Renaissance”.
Now it’s time for the third one “Echoes Of Elysium / Part I”, featuring featuring powerful tracks, some of which are more mid-tempo. Thematically, “Echoes Of Elysium / Part I” depicts the thoughts of a psychotic individual who has created a world of his own. This world is portrayed across every track on the album, starting with “Sign of the Cross” and concluding with “Echoes of Time”. The number “I” might indicate that there will also be a second part in the future. On vocals POWERCROSS present a new singer with the name Veandok, a semi-tenor with an amazing timbre.
Recording, production, mastering & artwork by Spiros Rizos.
