It all goes back to 1997 when 14 year old Alex Katsiyiannis decided to form a hard rock band along with some school-mates. The name of the band was Distant Dreamland. The songs were more in the vein of Deep Purple and Uriah Heep.
After a year of rehearsals and stuff the band changed their music style. Distant Dreamland played a mix of european and american power metal. People left the band and others joined. The band was renamed into Dead Man’s Tale.
Dead Man’s Tale released the self-titled demo cd receiving really good reviews. At that time Alex wrote the lyrics along with the music and played the guitar and Domenik( Dark Vision, Lost Souls) performed the vocals. The friendship between Alex and Domenik kept them together even after the end of D.M.T.
On March of 2003 Wastefall were born. Later on George Kanavaris and Ilias Kalyvas joined the band. In only three months Wastefall signed with Sleaszy Rider and released their debut album 'Fallen Stars and Rising Scars'.
Wastefall received very good feedback. (Metal Hammer - 8,5\10, Rock On 7\10, Bleeding Chaos 9\10). Ilias Kalyvas departed and Stratos Haidos joined the band.
Wastefall has recorded their second album 'Soulrain 21' which hads just been released in October 2004. This album is very special, musically evolved. The lyrics concern the age of adolescence and how this world is dealing with this certain category of people. What is wrong or what is so charming during this age.
It all started from the terrible accident in Tembi in the 13th of April 2003. The album is dedicated to these souls, so early departed. This was the spark of inspiration that forced us to go on with an album. It was a terrible need.
Finally Stratos Haidos left the band due to personal reasons and disagreements. Soulrain 21 was released as a double cd in 2004, including 'Stunned to the world' video-clip.
