"History" was recorded at Papa's Studio by Panagiotis Papahatzis, the same studio "Mythology" was recorded 33 years ago, in order to keep the same vibe as a continuation of the '80s spirit.
Someone might say that NORTHWIND is the most legendary Hard Rock / Heavy Metal band from Greece. Their debut album "Northcomin'" was the first of its kind in Greece, originally released in 1982, while the follow-up "Mythology" (1987) is one of the greatest albums that ever came out from Greece. At that point, NORTHWIND added many epic elements in their music, in a period where even recording a metal album, was a dream and extremely difficult in the country. "Mythology" contains classic tracks like "Stop, Sisyphus Stop", "Medea", "Eagles (Now They Fly)", "Prometheus the Man", "Achilles' Last Stand", and the band draws inspiration from DEEP PURPLE, RAINBOW and BLACK SABBATH with an epic feeling.
While "Mythology" got a positive response, years later in 1992 the band visited the United Kingdom and the famous Metropolis Studios to start recording the third album under the working title "Rocks N' Stones". Four tracks were recorded but those sessions were never released and NORTHWIND went on hiatus.
Years later, and after few shows including a performance at Up The Hammers Festival and a supporting show with URIAH HEEP, the legendary band from Thessaloniki completed a new album under the name "History", that will see the light of day by No Remorse Records.
