NEWS: Enemy of Reality resurface in a new disguise?

Offering Symphonic Metal song-writing with Operatic vocals and Progressive elements, Greek quartet Enemy of Reality have given us three albums in twelve years of pursuing their passion. Deciding its time to let their hair down and have a little fun, they’ve recorded a cover of a classic Greek traditional song in the hopes of breathing new life into it and giving it a new audience. It has been two years since their well received “Where Truth May Lie” album, so could there be more to follow?

The band comment: ““Δε σε θέλω πια'” (“Den se thélo pia” meaning “I Don’t Want You Anymore”) is a Greek adaptation of the Neapolitan song “‘Mbraccia a me” composed by Vincenzo Di Chiara and Antonio Barbieri in 1907. The Greek version was recorded in June 1910 in Smyrna (now Izmir), Türkiye. The lyrics express the singer’s decision to end a relationship due to the partner’s hurtful actions, declaring indifference to their threats or pleas. This is one of the most important, well known, and one of our favourite Greek traditional songs. Those who know us, are aware of our love of the folk elements in our music, as well as the fusion between the Greek folk genre with our metal sound. The decision to cover this was challenging, and though it felt natural, it demanded lots of hard work to shape this according to our vision. This wasn’t just another cover to us, but a darker version of ours, with lots of respect to this masterpiece, honouring our roots, and so we hope its new perspective will move the listeners”
