CRUCIFIER was formed in February of 1995 by Hlias "Thanatoid" Kyriazis (vocals) and Giorgos Kyriazis (bass guitar) in Athens, Greece. They recorded 3 demos (1995-Infernal Pain / 1996-Totally Madness / 1998-Fear is your Mind) along with 2 Ep's (2001-Innocent World / 2004-Escape or Die!) and played many shows during this time throughout Greece. In a result CRUCIFIER built a strong following in their local scene. They released their debut full-length album in 2002 entitled "Merciless Conviction" and then in 2006 their sophomore album entitled "Cursed Cross". Even know the "Cursed Cross" was limited to only a pressing of 1000 copies it has gone on to get great reviews throughout the worldwide underground scene and has legitimized CRUCIFIER as one of the most promising thrash bands from Eastern Europe. They have been playing some high profile gigs with legendary bands like Paul Di'Anno and Tankard.
