ZANDELLE were formed in Brooklyn \u002F NYC back in 1996 by George Tsalikis, then freshly departed former GOTHIC KNIGHTS crooner, to irrepressibly waive the flag of real heavy metal.Following the first self titled EP armed with six traditionally directed metal rippers in the year of foundation were the three full length albums „Shadows of reality“ (1998), „Twilight on humanity“ (2002) and „Vengeance rising“ (2006), on which ZANDELLE incorporated more and more progressive elements into their brand of massive, yet melodic and catchy power metal, what lead towards a slightly more slick overall picture. „Flames of rage“ can now be considered the essence of this development and their musical steadiness. ZANDELLE cannot be chained to any already overcrowded drawer, may it be power -, epic – or even progressive metal. They drop all sub genre blinkers and reflect on the raw energy that makes up a great heavy metal record.Raging, forceful riffs, whipping, hard driving rhythms, melodies of epic width, some quirky playfu
