Harpokrate

Fans of Iron Maiden, In Flames, and Children of Bodom will find much to love in Harpokrate. Founded in Los Angeles in 2005 by guitarist/vocalist Juan Piña, guitarist Marcos Mejia and drummer Alex Zarate, the band's melodic dark metal music concept was a reaction to a scene overrun with punk and thrash. The group honed its unique playing style in numerous performances over the years. Last year, bassist Carlos Elias joined the band, completing the current line-up. What followed was the recording of a highly-anticipated debut CD, "Dead Heroes," which features eight explosive studio tracks that accurately represent Harpokrate in 2010.
