1.Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or came out just like that?

The name comes from 'El Arrayan'or 'Ar-Rayhan' which is a beautiful flower known also as Myrtle.

2.Why did you want to play this genre?

This is the music we always loved playing; melodic and heavy at the same time. 

3. Did you know each other before the band was formed?

Well, the guitarist is my brother so i knew him haha. I knew the other members because they used to play in other local bands. We are a small community so everyone knows each other pretty much. 

4. Each band member favourite band?

Mine is Iron Maiden. I know Miguel likes bands like Stratovarius and Alestorm. Our guitarist Christoforos likes Iced Earth and of course Iron Maiden and my brother likes mostly classical music but he also likes prog.

Iron Maiden and the power metal bands from the 90's.
