Omega Ray (Ω-Ray), the new band of
George Karanikolas (The Last Drive,
Blackmail, BLML, Drobs): a blend of Acid-
Rock, Folk & Greek poetry. Glorious
anthems with a mesh of new Psych-Rock
– a beast of their own creation.
During a retreat on the summer of 2015, with the backdrop
of some remote Greek islands, Omega Ray morphed
& subsequently blossomed into an organic unit. After this
inspiring momentum & some several free-for-all jam sessions,
back in the studio Karanikolas’ songwriting skills
were unveiled & carved a path of its own. All this based on
their own eclectic vision & influences of early-Floyd, Amon
Duul II, Sun Ra, Television and the Blues. Call it Mediterranean-
Gospel, Sahara-Swamp or Sufi-Drone, Omega
Ray’s blend is a fascinating fusion & hard to pin down.
A ferocious mix of NYC Avant-Rock style, late-’60s Acid
bliss with some crunchy guitars, a Kraut Rock styled
extremism and earthbound mysticism that ensures the
listener experience a gnarled magma force they probably
have never encountered before! The remaining band
members are: Stefanos Flotsios (The Last Drive, Screaming
Fly), Mono Kaktos (KRAAK) and Kostas Loukopoulos
(Screaming Fly). BLACK EDITION
