81db, Evaluation (2009)



“Time to challenge your idea of how heavy rock music sounds today.”
81db was formed in April 2006 by guitarist Kostas Ladopoulos. The idea was to try and bring a new sound by combining melodies and heavy riffs with folk elements derived from Kostas’ Greek origins. This is music that challenges the mind and the standards of heavy rock. Every time you listen to 81db you might end up discovering new previously unnoticed aspects and approaching the music in a different way. After a few changes 81db with their current line-up (William Costello: Vocals, Kostas Ladopoulos: Guitars, Bouzouki, Filippo Capursi: Drums, Vieri Pestelli: Bass) published their first album "Evaluation". With their debut CD, Evaluation, out on 20 March 2009 for Orion’s Belt Records and published by EMI publishing in Italy and distributed by Minos EMI in Greece the band explores the infinite world of notes promising a 50 min. musical journey that will spur and challenge your emotions, ears and minds. The album Evaluation is also available worldwide on all major digital stores.

81db after the excellent reviews for the album (ex. Rock Hard Italy – 7.5/10, Metal Hammer Greece 9/10 and many more webzines and press) began touring the UK on November 2009 with excellent results and great feedback and more UK touring to follow up for spring 2010. Their video “voices” is at Headbanger’s ball of MTV Greece as well as the important Mad TV music television.

All this movement and noise made the producer Sylvia Massy interested at the project offering the band a chance to work with them at their studios for the upcoming 2nd album that should be published on 2011.
