Despise

Thrash metal band from Athens, Greece, formed in late 1986. The line-up was unstable until mid 1989. Afterwards, as a trio (Makis Dedes - guitar, vocals; Maria Vassilakis - bass; Johnny - drums) they continued until 2004, performing live at various local clubs and bigger venues. In 1996, the band set up their own rehearsing/recording studio, where their first album was pre-produced in 1998 and actually recorded in 1998-2000. Following Johnny's departure, in 2004 two new members joined the band (Christopher Terzoudis as second guitarist and Dimitris Plagiannis on synth/samples).
