He started playing the drums at the age of 16, when 2 years later he acquired his bachelor degree (Grade 8 )from Rock School of London (RSL Awards), from Modern Music Academy in Drama, Greece. He’s currently studying Sports Science and Physical Education and he’s working on a project through Aristotle University of Thessaloniki about Double Bass Drumming Techniques.

Thanos was born in Athens on the 9th of August, 1988. He is raised and lives in Corinth. At the age of 14, he took his first steps in music playing the electric guitar. At the age of 21, after a suggestion from Dimitris Frangoulis (singer/guitarist in the band Orama), he began playing the bass, for the needs of the band. Since then, he understood his love for the electric bass and 4 years later, he started playing fretless bass and double bass.

Corax Pagana

Corax B.M, the latest spawn of the Greek black metal scene, will release its debut EP entitled “Spread the Occult” on 27 May 2022 via Pagan Records after signing to the label earlier this year.

The band's most notable music element is the combination of primal Scandinavian black melodies, with a punk aesthetic and their main influences are Behemoth, Mayhem, Rotting Christ, Necromantia and Darkthrone.

Corax B.M was established in 2021 as a solo project by the artist Corax (aka Kostas Katoikos) who collaborated with drummer Morker (Yiannis Chariskos) and vocalist Ιnnea (Marita Makaronidi) for her use of “whisper vocals”.

Later this year after rehearsing their first songs, they were joined by bassist Peisithanatos (Thanos Nanopoulos), so the project inevitably became a solid band.

A legend of the black metal scene, The Magus (Necromantia, Yoth Iria), honoured the band as a guest vocalist on the song "Anilliagos" (Greek for Sunless).

Corax B.M is a Hellenic Pagan Black Metal band based in Athens, Greece. The band started as a side project of Kostas “Corax” Katoikos (Blossom Death, Anachrist, In Burial, ex- Sorrowful Angels), who collaborated with the drummer Yiannis “Morker” Chariskos. After releasing their 2 singles, Thanos “Peisithanatos” Nanopoulos (Drama Noir, ex- Endopia, ex- Order of The Black Jacket) lined up with Ennea. After the Polish record label “Pagan Records” offered a contract for their EP “Spread The Occult”, the project took the form of a solid band.

Corax BM is a black metal band from Greece that was founded in 2021 as a solo project, has since gained a few members, and released their first EP in 2022. With “Pagana”, the musicians are releasing their first LP, which I was able to listen to in advance. Musically, the record convinced me with strong guitar riffs, dark bass guitars and growling vocals. The singer's deep voice is rounded off by a female voice, which fits perfectly into the music.

The record is recorded cleanly, mixed well and you can hear that the individual band members have a lot of experience and harmonize perfectly with each other. I liked the album a lot. The metallers have mastered their craft almost perfectly and yet I would have liked a little more variety in the tracks.
For their successful debut I give Corax BM 8 out of 10 Hellfire points for “Pagana” .
