Israeli Extreme-Power metal outfit ACROPOLIS
was founded under the name AREA 51 in mid-2001
by guitarists Daniel Varfolomeyev and Elad Manor
as a quartet including drummer Amir Shaham and
bassist Ran Buldor.
After 4 days of activity, the band debuted first time
onstage in the Extreme Rock Festival, and expanded
it's lineup to a 6-piece group in the following year
adding vocalist Dror 'Shoko' Pe'er, guitarist Asaf David
and keyboardist Dana Ayalon. Elad ended up handling
the bass duties instead of Ran.
In summer 2002, the band performed festivals in Tel-Aviv
and Jerusalem with the new lineup, and entered the studio
with Eyal Glottman (Eternal Gray, Prey For Nothing) to record
a 3 song demo, two of which were released as singles
in winter 2003 under the new name - ACROPOLIS.
Despite the attention drawing around the new band,
the lineup was disbanded due to army enlistment
by the end of 2003.
Elad and Daniel continued their musical activities
with THE FADING and ARAFEL respectively,
exploring additional styles and creating
a strong bond of musical collaborations
between the members of these bands.
It wasn't long before the idea of creating
the first Israeli power-metal supergroup arised again,
when Daniel and vocalist Yochai Davidoff
were sketching ideas and concepts for the future band.
Finally, by the end of 2005 a single titled
"Lead the Wake" was recorded and performed by
THE FADING's rhythm section Shaked Furman (drums) and
Elad Manor (Bass); Daniel Varfolomeyev (Guitars)
with Alex Karlinsky (Keyboards) of ARAFEL,
and Yochai Davidoff on the microphone spot.
By 2006, the recording lineup has turned into
a full-time active band, and started writing and
rehearsing material for a debut release.
In January 2007, ACROPOLIS hit the studios
to record and produce a 7-track EP.
After an intensive production
process in 5 different studios in Israel and abroad,
Acropolis is proud to present it's first official release
titled "The Aftermath" (2008).
The 23 minutes self-produced EP is mastered by Finnish
mastering-guru Mika Jusilla at Finnvox Studios (Helsiki, Finland),
and offers 7 tracks,showcasing the bands
diverse musicianship and performing abilities,
blended in a unique style that blurs the fine line
between lush harmony to razor-sharp intensity.
