PAST
In May of 2001 two heavy metal fans, Manos Koufakis and Chris Papadatos decided to create a record label named CULT METAL CLASSICS for their favourite music. The start wasn’t easy at all. You see most of their favourite bands didn’t exist!!! But they managed to gain licences from some very good bands of the 80’s and they released their rare works. The first one was from the American band VALHALLA, “Return of the Mystic Warrior”, featuring the very important singer David Fefolt (ex-HAWK, MASI). The response was terrific and with a high moral they continued the excellent work with ELIXIR (“The Son of Odin”), VILLAIN (“Only time will tell”- one of the bands of the legendary singer Carl Albert), BLACK KNIGHT (“Master of disaster”). The budget became bigger and bigger, so they decided to try out releasing some new albums of contemporary bands. CULT METAL CLASSICS wasn’t anymore a label only for re-issues. The Greek power metal warriors ELWING were the first band to follow this direction. But the big surprise was the comeback, after many years of silence, of the great American guitar player Jack Starr (founder of VIRGIN STEELE, PHANTOM LORD, BURNING STARR), with an all-star band that consisted of Shmoulik Avigal (ex-RODS, PICTURE, HORIZON), Ned Meloni (ex – Joe Lynn Turner ) and Joe Hasselvander (ex-PENTAGRAM, RAVEN). The result was “Under a savage sky” CD, which was well-promoted through most major metal magazines of Europe and Japan.
