"If you thought the goth metal division was getting cluttered with bands who are just copying each other, then Achilla might just freshen up your attitude. They're heavy, melodic and have the touch of individuality that must just see them soar"
Malcolm Dome (Metal Hammer)
"A shining example of the talent on offer in the UK metal scene. If only more people were prepared to scratch beyond the surface of the mainstream, the likes of Achilla are the delights waiting to be discovered."
Jerry Ewing (Classic Rock)
"Achilla have an abundance of talent, as musicians. But just as importantly have memorable and strong songs that will see the band's name on the lips of many a prog rock and metal fan over the coming months and - for sure - years. "
Richard Thompson (Classic Rock Presents Prog)
They’ve been called The United Nations Of Contemporary Rock, and with good reason.
Take a Hungarian singer, Martamaria, and an Italian guitarist, Daniele Panza. Add the just-recruited Greek bassist Gus Macricostas and Spanish keyboard player Gonzalo Carrera to the Italian drummer Vincenzo Infusino. Stir vigorously in a London setting and you have Achilla, one of the most exciting young bands on the 21st Century Rock Scene.
They blend a smorgasbord of influences (from extreme metal to gothic, electronic to world music, folk to progressive), in the process coming up with a visionary sound. Martamaria’s amazing range (she’s actually cited in the Guinness Book Of Records!) is brilliantly complemented by astonishing instrumentalists. Power, power, precision and passion - this lot have it all. Acclaimed by TotalRock Radio, Metal Hammer magazine (UK), Fireworks magazine and The Guardian newspaper, the band have had one track – Wild Flower – showcased on a cover mounted CD by Powerplay magazine, while another song, Arashi, is included on a Metal Hammer CD.
Constantly touring, Achilla are that rarity among modern bands: one that pays respect to the rich heritage of rock, while also striding determinedly forward into an exciting future.

We have put a new song up for you, it’s only a rough demo which hasn’t really been mixed well and hasn’t been produced but it will give you a taster of what may come next in our next recording sessions which we are trying to set before Christmas.
Enjoy! It’s called 'Stop'. Please tell us what you think.
drink clear water. breath deep and slowly. go outside and enjoy the nature. don't trust your ego - trust your fellings. follow your dreams. beware of illusions. if you do this i promise you: your life will change the best way!
