ACHOKARLOS band was formed in 2004 as a “one man band” by Achokarlos, who composes, records and mix all compositions. After a few years of creation, all those songs were united to give birth to “Parametric Milk” in 2008 strongly influenced by bands like Death, Pantera, Textures and even Dream Theater. A mix of shredding death progressive, all songs instrumental.
After this release, Achokarlos was finalist at DEAN Guitars contest among thousands of guitar players from world-wide in late 2008. It also became known through Youtube getting more than 10 million of plays of his videos online. This fact helps Achokarlos to be a well-known musician in the metal world.
After that, Achokarlos decided to leave the heavy shredding and focus more on brutality and did compose songs for the next release “Forget all you know” in 2009.is full technical progressive death metal album. Achokarlos sings in this album too.
After the release Achokarlos decided that the sound he is looking for would be more experimental and atmospherically strongly influenced by Devin Townsend with the heavy sound of 8 strings guitars.
For those songs, he decided to compose an album called “Mind Landscapes” in 2010. In this album, he has deluxe collaborations like members from CYNIC, DAATH, TEXTURES, VORTICE, and many more.
