So May 12th 2015 we saw the musical talent that is George Kollias in motion. George’s solo album, and I do mean solo he plays every instrument besides the drums on this album. If you aren’t familiar with his name allow me to bring you up to speed. George Kollias born in Corinth, Greece has played the drums for the Greek metal band Nightfall and left back in 2005 to join the band Nile. Nile a metal band whose music is based on ancient Egyptian mythology, religion, and history. George joined the band to play on the “ Annihilation of the wicked” album.
Today we see George doing his own solo project playing the drums as well as the guitars, bass, and vocals. George is a killer drummer who has his own foot technique in which the faster the bass drum beats the more stable his legs become while also adding a swivel like motion that he explains it uses the unused energy and utilizes it for a faster BPM bass drum roll. Whether or not you are a fan of Nile George is a pretty badass drummer, his solo album is streaming right now at a few different websites. The one website he had posted a link on from his facebook page http://rockhard.gr/rockhard/news/13880-live-streaming-nile-invictus. At some point I will end up listening to the whole album and giving my two cents but for now check it out on soundcloud streaming the entire album.
