Like its name, New York City-based metal band Phoenix Reign rose out of the ashes - but in this case, the ashes of a once strong metal scene. Originally simply called Phoenix, it came into existence in Greece in the summer of 1998 with founding members Billy Chrissochos and Chris Pollatos, playing guitar and bass respectively. They joined forces with guitarist Kostas Psarros, and with Wayne Noon on drums soon recorded their first demo back in the states.
They played clubs like L’amour with Lynch Mob (brainchild of ex-Dokken guitarist George Lynch), as well as the then-kings of underground clubs Voodoo Lounge and Castle Heights with other metal acts like Zandelle and Gothic Knights.
With new singer Theresa Gaffney in 2002, Phoenix Reign began exploring new territory with successful shows in places like the Continental, Le Bar Bat and the Village Underground. In 2004, the band performed at the Good Times Magazine-sponsored Long Island Music Festival, and Don Hills where they played with Riot and Winger. They even broke into Latin territory as Budweiser sponsored them in the local Queens hotspot Made in Brazil, and in 2005 hit the world famous CBGBs.
Phoenix Reign began working on their first full-length album, ‘Destination Unknown’, in late 2005. It was released in early 2007, and brings to life several songs from the band’s demos like fan favorites ‘Another Night Alone’ and ‘Open Your Eyes’ as well as new material, including the epic “Constantinople 1453 (On the Eve of the Fall).

Dezibel666 It's good, but it still sounds like a weaker version of Amaran on every level. Vocals, guitwarwork, drumming, etc...
