CHRISTOFER TERZOUDIS [guitars]
Christofer
was born in Athens, Greece in 1974. He began playing the guitar at the age of 9.
He never attended any music schools but he had private lessons from time to
time. He considers himself a self-taught guitarist.
His first band was TWILIGHT ZONE
who released a demo tape in 1992 which received positive reviews from the Greek
metal magazines.
The band recorded another 3 songs for a compilation but they were never
released. In 1995 the group disbanded due to some members’army obligations.
Christofer also joined the army in
1995 so he wasn’t involved in any musical activity for 18 months. After serving
the army, he tried to form a band with TWILIGHT ZONE’s drummer and Theodore
Ziras. The two guitarists were writing some great stuff but unluckily this
project never came to life.
In 1998 Christofer joined BRAIN
FADE a thrash band from Athens. He played several gigs with them. The greek
magazines had good reviews about them and especially about Christofer’s
shredding.
In 2000 he decided to leave BRAIN
FADE so he could join a newly formed prog band with members from APPARENTLY
DEAD, ACID DEATH and FATA MORGANA. After some rehearshals the group disbanded
(once again!!) due to some members’ performing difficulties. The same year, on
his trip to Zurich, he recorded some stuff for Martin Eisele ("Bleuel A.G.")
which was used for a Sennheiser / Focusrite recording workshop. The same year,
he also worked with CRIMSON SUNSETS as a replacement for one of the guitarists.
He played a gig with them during the rehearsing sessions for opening act for THE
GATHERING in Rodon Club.
Last year he released a 4 song mini
CD called "Laying Notes" which has received good reviews so far. He performed
many shows at "Architektoniki" Club in Athens weekly for 5 months. He was the
opening act for KOSTAS TOURNAS band (Greek known artist). The turnout was good
and he’s looking forward to play the next season. Three months ago he also
joined DESPISE
a techno-thrash band from Athens. At the time they are rehearsing a lot and
writing new material.
Christofer is still working at other songs for a future 5 song CD to be released sometime next year. The "Part Of The Machine" project is active again since he`s working on the existing 4 songs.
