Band Biographies: Helion

Born in 2012 from the idea of the guitarist/vocalist Massimiliano, after 2 years of constant rehearsing and a huge amount of local shows, the band develops its style, proposing an hybridized mixture of technical death metal and other subgenres, including classical and folk music elements, with Massimiliano as the main composer of the material.

In April 2014 they began recording their first EP "Duat's Calling", produced by A Mano Armata Dischi and self-released it in the beginning of 2015, promoting it by going on stage alongide acts such as: Hideous Divinity, Deceptionist, Ad Nauseam, Mass Infection and many more.

In 2016 the band started recording a Promo EP of two songs, released in the fall; right after it a major formation change led the actual bassist Andrea Cividini to join the band. From that moment the project would have seen him and Massimiliano as the main members of the band, playing live with various talented session drummer eversince (Riccardo Grechi, Edoardo Di Santo,...).

In 2017 the band started writing new material and kept on playing live. In the early 2018 the formation took a brake due to heavily scheduled commitments both for Massimiliano and Andrea with other projects and jobs, regrouping in the second half of the year so as to attend few local shows and to finish the recording session of the new material.

In 2019 the band plans to release and promote the new material.
