Zemial

Zemial begun in 1989 by Vorskaath and are known as one of the first Hellenic Black/Death Metal bands to emerge from the late 1980's/early 1990's underground scene. They do not have the sound that most Hellenic bands are known for (initiated by Rotting Christ in 1993) and were the first band in Hellas to play what was considered to be the second wave of black metal, as their influences were drawn from the darkness and depth of Bathory, Celtic Frost and Hellhammer. Their live shows always feature elements outside the standard sphere of black metal performances, including improvisation and variying dynamic levels.
