The Cypriot 80's Heavy Metal Band Lethal Saint was founded in Nicosia in the summer of 2006 by 3 friends, Andreas Kasapis (Guitars), Christis Isseyegh (Drums) and Christos Papadopoullos (Guitars). Inspired by the sound of 80's Heavy metal, the 3 members managed to attract Sergio's (Andreas's and Christos's schoolmate) attention. Sergio who knew Andreas Pougioukas (now L.S lead singer) asked him to come and visit the band during rehersals. Andreas Pougioukas found the Lethal Saint band very interesting and he joined in, on January 2007. We also liked him very much and he blended in with the band very well from the beginning. Then, in search of a bassist Andreas Pougioukas decided to bring in a friend of his, Nicolas (now L.S bassist). Nicolas liked the band so he joined in, too. The Lethal Saint heavy metal band was finally complete!! We had our first gig (9.3.2007) in Lykio Akropolis (a high school in Nicosia) at a music festival organized by the school as the leading band (headliners)! Then, in the summer of the same year we decided to record 4 songs in our studio and release our first Demo CD. Unfortunatelly, due to army reasons Nicolas could not take part in the recordings of the demo CD. It was fortunate though, that we found Alex (Inferno's bassist) who came in as a guest and helped us out. During the same period, we were taking part in some gigs (some for charity purposes) with other local metal bands including R.U.S.T, Winter's Verge and Prodigal Earth. Then, followed the release of the Lethal Saint Demo CD which is now sold out. For the rest of 2007 and until the summer of 2008 Lethal Saint worked on new songs which will be included in the first complete CD release (will be available most probably in the winter of 2008-2009). In the summer of 2008 Lethal Saint took part in two big events: Power Of The Night 3 (Heavy Metal Festival) and Bands Fest 2008. Band's Fest (organised by Fishbone Records) was also a contest which included 10 performing bands playing all kinds of music. We managed to win the 1st prize. An important note to be made is that in Power Of The Night 3, Nicolas Liakos, a good friend of ours had the great idea of helping us out with the show on stage by performing various acts such as fire-spitting etc. Lethal Saint now plan on giving concerts all around Cyprus and are looking forward on releasing their first complete album in the beginning of 2010.
