Aoidos emerged in 2019, among mugs of mead at the iconic Taberna 58, in Coimbra. The result of a mix of influences, from Death and Gojira to Behemoth and Watain, the band's sound seeks to combine the weight and groove of Death Metal with the dark ambiences and cutting melodies of Black Metal, embelished by the sound of classical piano and keys.
After a live debut year with 15 concerts, of which 7 on an Iberian tour with 4 dates in Spain, and 4 at festivals (Bajonca Rock Fest, Rock dos Romanos, Mosher Fest, Melena Fest), Aoidos earned 2nd place on Laurus Metal Battle, securing a spot on the Laurus Nobilis Music Fest bill with bands like Septicflesh and Vader.
With their debut album set to release later this year, they show no sign of stopping.
Their current lineup consists of Freitanás on Guitars/Vocals, Ekid on Bass/Vocals, Pedro Miguel on Drums, Ivo Resende on Guitars and the misterious Erlkönig on Piano.
“Aoidos” means bards in Ancient Greek, and like the bards of old, our purpose is to tell stories, but through the Dark Arts of Metal!
