MAJOR DENIAL is a melodic-progressive metal project from Greece founded by Nektarios Ntagkas and Ahilleas Diamantis in the summer of 2013.
Nektarios vision was to express himself by composing his ideas out of the guitar lessons with his tutor Achilleas Diamantis. Panagiotis Haramis (bass) joined them after a while.
Nektarios started writing songs in a short period of time and that period he contacted Mark Zonder (Warlord, ex. fates Warning) to play the drums on the first song (No Sunrise). He contacted also Yannis Papadopoulos (Wardrum, Beast In Black, ex. Until Rain) to sing the song. On February 2014 they presented the first lyric video for the song, followed by a second lyric video (Never Neverland) on April 2014. They decided to release an EP, but, Yannis Papadopoulos could not continue because of his schedule. ‘’Minor Ways’’ EP, released January 2015 with two more songs, ‘’A Man’’ with Stratris Steele (Endomain) on the vocals and ‘’I Am The Shadow’’ by Denny Anthony (Signs Of Reing), proposed by Mark Zonder. Minor Ways released also on Vinyl, special edition of 525 hand numbered copies.
They decided to continue after a long period and wrote songs for a full album. They contacted Kostas Milonas (Sunburst, Foray Between The Ocean) to join the project on the drums and Yannis Papadopoulos recorded the vocals as a guest.
Lisette van den Berg (Scarlet Stories, Ruud Jolie, she sang and played the character ‘The Data Chamber’ in the rock opera videogame Karmaflow, features on albums by Soulburn, Cirrha Niva and Ayreon’s “The Source”.
