Arryan Path confirmed for next year’s Swordbrothers Festival

ARRYAN PATH performed a massive show as headliners in Thessaloniki, Greece this past Saturday. Brilliant renditions of the band’s original work as well as their tribute to the late Ronnie James Dio (“Holy Diver”) and the show’s closing consisting of a medley of their own “Road to Macedonia” and “Alexander the Great” by Iron Maiden sent the crowd to a frenzy with non-stop headbanging and chanting with fists high up in the air!

Arryan Path live in Thessaloniki – December 4th

ARRYAN PATH will be appearing in Thessaloniki, Greece, on December 4th at Harley Bar.

Support will come from Cypriot 80’s metal act R.U.S.T.

Arryan Path will also perform a new song from their upcoming album. This will be the first time for the two bands to appear in Thessaloniki.

We are pleased to be welcoming one more band into our roster, Norway’s Pictures of Pain!

We’re taking it up a notch here as the band’s style is a bit more on the extreme side of metal, however…
