BIOGRAPHY: SILIUS from Austria was formed in autumn 2013. The band members Ralph (drums), Haui (lead guitar), Mex (rhythm guitar), Martin (bass) and Matthias (vocals) unmistakably pay homage to their heroes Pantera, Exodus, Black Sabbath and Metallica. SILIUS released the demo „DEMOn“ in 2015 and quickly spread their metal on local stages. The guys from Tyrol are a force on stage, and that’s why they won the Metalchamp (an Austrian contest for metal bands) in 2015, and also won the Wacken Metal Battle, thus representing Austria at the legendary Wacken Open Air.2015 was an overall very successful year for SILIUS; they played numerous gigs, for example at the MetalDays in Slovenia, Nova Rock or Wacken Open Air, and supported bands like Arch Enemy and Biohazard.In 2016, the band spent their time on stage and at The Prophecy Studios with producer R.D. Liapakis(Mystic Prophecy, Devil’s Train, Firewind, Suicidal Angels), where they were working on songs for the upcoming debut album „Hell Awakening“, which will be released in early September on Massacre Records.

ALBUM INFOSILIUS‘ ‚Hell Awakening“ is a wake-up call for everyone, who thinks that metal is a dying art! Expect uncompromising punches in the gut as well fast, groovy and catchy melodies - topped with a voice that sounds like you‘re staring right into an abhorrent snake pit!Chased by demons („Seven Demons“), the Austrian quintet is rushing through the 11 songs on the album without lacking quality! The lyrics deal with socio-critical issues, like war („War Planet“) or society‘s depression („Kingdom Of Betrayal“) - but positive aspects are included as well („Anger Management“).People who are into Bay Area Thrash in the vein of Testament or Exodus, will surely enjoy SILIUS‘ debut album „Hell Awakening“!
