'RAINSTRIKER'

‘Rainstriker’ is an original crossover/new age album inspired by fantasy, myth and legend. Sung in a striking fusion of English & Anglo-Saxon, the album was influenced by the first episode of the highly successful BBC One David Dimbleby Series, ‘Seven Ages of Britain’, in which Magic Sphere artist, Eleni Violaris, co-wrote and sang songs and cues, including the end title song, in Anglo-Saxon. This was an original idea that Eleni conceived and developed for the series’ soundtrack - inspired by David Dimbelby reciting from the great 9th century epic English poem, 'Beowulf', in Anglo-Saxon.

Eleni, Adam and Andonis Violaris co-wrote, produced, engineered, arranged, performed and mixed the album and oversaw the mastering sessions. Five years in the making, the fifteen-track album was released internationally on the 22nd of June, 2015.
