Ocean of Grief, End of Dawn & Athanatos Live at Eightball Thessaloniki

On Saturday 21st February, 3 renown forces of the Greek underground will share the stage of Eightball. Ocean Of Grief will bring their death-doom melodies for the first time in Thessaloniki. The symphonic black metallers End Of Dawn will enchant you with their chilling atmosphere and the emerging group Athanatos will manifest otherworldly forces. Ocean Of Grief ( Melodic Doom/Death Metal) Ocean of Grief's melodic doom/death dates back in 2016 in Athens, Greece, with their first musical endeavour, the Fortress Of My Dark Self EP, released by GS Productions, deeply influenced by the sound of Slumber, Enshine, Draconian and Saturnus. The gloomy but melancholic feeling of the EP, was followed by the self-released single After a Long Time and eventually the band's first full length album Nightfall's Lament, released by Rain Without End records, diving even deeper into darkness and despair. The band released their sophomore album, Pale Existence, in 2023, with an even darker and more melodic tone, allowing the listener to get lost in somber but immersive soundscapes. In 2025, they released a new single, Ghosts Inside, while they are intensively working on their new album! End of Dawn ( Symphonic/Gothic Black Metal ) End of Dawn is a Symphonic/Gothic Black Metal band from Thessaloniki, Greece, formed in 2019.

Their debut album, Primordial Darkness, released on November 15, 2024, features 11 haunting tracks that take listeners on a harrowing journey into the shadows of the soul. With its evocative blend of rapid, powerful riffs and symphonic textures, the album draws upon mythological and existential themes, creating an immersive and deeply resonant soundscape. Driven by an unwavering dedication to their art, End of Dawn embraces the raw emotions and stark beauty found within the abyss. As they continue to forge their path, the band remains steadfast in pushing the boundaries of their sound, exploring the profound and the unknown.
