CASUS BELLI were formed in 1997 by guitarist Panos Arvanitis and vocalist Panos Dedes. Since 1994 Arvanitis and Dedes had collaboration with another band, which was formed by Arvanitis and called Condemnation. In1993,Condemnation had already released a record through an independent record company called Molon Lave Records.
When Panos Dedes came back from England where he was chosen by JUDAS PRIEST among the last 25 for the position of vocalist, he met Arvanitis and they both begun to write CASUS BELLI first songs. In 1998, CASUS BELLI released their first demo entitled Promo One, featuring P. PEAVY WAGNER (RAGE) in a couple of songs,achieving 9/10 in Metal Hammer magazine.
During the sessions, and after the joining of keyboardist Bob Katsionis, drummer Fanis Balikos,Fotis Benardo and bassist Fotis Anagnostou the basis of the band was built. In November of 2001 CASUS BELLI released their debut album entitled "MIRROR OUT OF TIME" through Sound & Vision distribution record company taking 8/10 in Metal Hammer magazine.
After a number of gigs with the valuable help of Gus Macricostas(Battleroar,Spitfire)on the bass guitar in the final line up of the band was added bass guitarist Fotis Anagnostou from Holland, who manufactures hand –made bass guitars (EAS).
In 2005 Casus Belli have signed a contract with Limb Music Product & Publishing and in March of 2005 the band with Frank Huber (Valley’s Eve) on the drums, records in PROPHECY & MUSIC FACTORY STUDIOS ( MYSTIC PROPHECY ,CHASTAIN , VALLEY?S EVE ) (Germany) the album “ In the name of Rose ”, produced by R.D.Liapakis (Valley’s Eve, Mystic Prophecy).The album takes remarkable critics around the world and 7/10 in Rock Hard magazine.Some of the band’s songs were included in albums such as Louder than the dragon 2 (by Limb) and Power Files (PowerPlay).
In 2007 a new member is added on the line up of Casus Belli,the incredible drummer Makis Gioulis "Socrates Drank The Conium" .
At the time, the band is working on new material and promises a very true hard n’ heavy stuff!
Put together the first music video for one of the songs, that being for the song "Eel Marsh House", which is based on the movie "The Woman In Black". Wasn't sure to name it that instead of 'Eel Marsh..." ...Eel Marsh House being where the woman in black 'lived', and now haunts it. Though, she seems to haunt the general area of the village as well as the House. If anyone catches her gaze, looks into her eyes....a child will die, usually from the family of the person unfortunate to look at her. As you see what happens to the story's main character at the end.
Hope you like it, that's about all for now, Cheers! Rob

hi! iam wolfgang the guitarist of dreamscape. we should learn to be the best persons we can be and our world will change. i try. but it's not as easy as playing guitar in a high class band...
H. Jackson Brown: Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece -- by thought, choice, courage, and determination.
kind regards! DREAMSCAPE (progressive metal from germany) (new cd september 2009! - buy or let die!)
I can always count on you to be kind and thoughtful. Thank you very much for thinking of me and for your good wishes on my birthday. I appreciate that very much.
I hope everything is going great for you and the guys. Please relay my greetings to everybody.
