KINETIC started in 2002 by members coming from other historical bands from the Greek Underground Scene, who had the experience and the spirit to continue from the point those bands had stopped. They created the band with such a name that would reflect the whole philosophy of the collective minds of its creator. Personal influences, coming from THRASH, POWER, PROGRESSIVE and DEATH METAL gave an aggressive timbre to every song, something that would duel between Swedish and American technique. With lyrics touching the horrible side of life, their songs attained the power and the feeling they had to. Quickly, the band completed a respectable number of songs; three of them constituted their 1st recording, a self-released mini CD entitled with the band name.

KINETIC started getting in touch with ..zines and radio-stations all over the world using this music sample. The initial reviews and feedback of the band’s material, were very positive and encouraging. This gave an enormous help to the band and in the beginning of 2004, a small independent label from Greece, Sleaszy Rider recs, gave them a small deal.

The band started record its 1st full length in February of 2004 and finished in August having more than 500 hours in studio. The result of this enormous amount of work was "The Chains That Bind Us" full-length CD, released on 15th of November/2004. Including 11 compositions and a video-clip for "Never Ending Winter" song -re-recorded and re-mastered from its initial form in the mini CD, this full album displays the band's progress.

For once more KINETIC started getting in touch with media all over the world sending promo-packs that were created by the band itself... The results were encouraging once more, collecting numerous good comments from everywhere. Trying to boost "The Chains..." full length CD, the band made and paid by itself another video-clip for "Heed These Words" song and arranged a small tour in many cities of Greece.

In September of 2005, totally disagreeing with the entire label policy of Sleaszy Rider Recs, KINETIC broke their contract and started searching for another label. After contacting and speaking with many labels, the band finally got in a deal with the ascended BURNING STAR RECS ( www.burning-star.net ) with a schedule for a new release in September-October of 2007. The same time the four band-members decided that its time to drive KINETIC in a new era. Keeping the same style, increasing it with more elements, they added two new members, Vaggelis Kakarougas ..boards and Margaret Staikou on female vocals.

The band entered the studio in September-2006 to record its new full-length CD titled “Corrosion”, with the new 6-member line up. The whole production was work that came from the band for one more time. KINETIC intended to create an album that includes all their elements from their 1st full-length, while pushing it a bit more; more melody, more aggression, better and louder production and a more personal music direction. The summer of 2007 the band shoot its 3rd video clip, featuring the track “Venturing High And Low”, a video that is available for downloading from KINETIC's Official Band Site.

In March of 2008 KINETIC had a small line-up change; Margaret Staikou was replaced by a new ascended performer, Maria-Melissa Routi. Including the new “Female Microphone” in the lineup, the band started the live appearances to promote “Corrosion” CD.

At the current time of this season, the band has finished its second tour around Greek territory and has started processing new material. Being the same members since the beginning and adding two new ones on female vocals and keyboards, they have found the right formula in order to work on a music style similar to their previous material but in a darker and heavier way. Invent them walking their paths of Passion...
