Biography

Wastefall were born on February of 2003 by Domenik and Alex (ex Dead man’s tale). Later on George Kanavaris joined the band behind the drums and Ilias Kalivas on the bass guitar. Wastefall signed, a two-albums contract with Sleaszy Rider records and released their debut album “Fallen stars and rising scars” on the 28th of July 2003. Due to the encouraging feedback Wastefall, started working on new ideas and creations for a future release.
Later on Ilias Kalyvas (bass player) left the band and Stratos Haidos (bass player) joined it. Matthew Dakoutros (violin) and Chris Kyrkilis (keyboards) joined the band, shortly after.

After a long time of rehearsals and composing new material Wastefall entered Fragile studios on the 4th of May 2004. On the 7th of November 2004 “Soulrain 21” was released. Stratos Haidos (bass player) left Wastefall and Nick Valetzis (current bass player) joined the band. After Nick’s arrival, Wastefall had to split ways with violin player, Matthew Dakoutros and drums player George Kanavaris due to musical differences. A few months after Wastefall, recruited Kostis Papaleksopoulos as their new percussion and drums player.
Two years after their successful second album “Soulrain 21”, Wastefall’s third release entitled, “Self Exile” was recorded during December and January of 2006. The album was mixed and mastered by Tommy Hansen (Helloween, TNT, Jorn Lande etc.) at Jailhouse Studios, Denmark. “Self Exile” was released in the U.S.A. and Europe on the 6th of June 2006(Release Date for Greece – 12th of June 2006 and release date for France – October of 2006). Many gigs followed in Europe and Greece.

    They indeed sound exactly like PoS at moments. Overall Wastefall is a little bit heavier and more Greekish though. :) The resemblance may be just due to the vocalist’s voice itself, maybe similar tastes or such. Remember that it’s really hard to change your vocal timbre. ;) But even if it’s not a coincidence, I don’t think that having good role models is a bad thing. Unless it comes to this.

    wtf is a terk? If you meant rip off, you're right. Fortunately they are ripping off old PoS and the results are much better than the shit pain of salvation have been churning out lately

    They have influnces from PoS, but saying that they are a clone is too harsh!i believe they had their own identity as a band and if only they hadnt broken up we could see a great progressive band...

    Very good Pain of Salvation clone. PoS now makes a popshit, so good clones of early Pos are very interesting.
