Epinikion Biography
After Robert en Renate had ended their topsport(coaching) careers, Robert came up with the idea to do something in music. The combination of his electric guitarplay en Renate’s classical piano almost naturally lead to the choice for symphonic metal music. As a bandname they chose ‘Epinikion’, which means ‘hymne for the winner’. In Ancient Greece the heroic stories of athletes were sung in an epinikion after their victories at major events. A phoenix was added to the bandname, as a sign of athletes resurrected from their ashes as musicians.
It was soon apparent that the music was received well and the toy keyboard of Renate’s son was exchanged for a real synthesizer. From the very beginning Epinikion combined heavy guitar riffs with subtle progressive metal influences, completed with harmonic and sometimes bombastic orchestral lines. This combination leads to an own sound, appreciated by a wide audience.
