UPDATE 22 Dec 2010: Comments from the band under the video!
A short interview with Nick Papakostas, guitars and vocals, 22 Dec 2010
What are your relations to Cirith Ungol?
- We do not have any personal relations to Cirith Ungol. We are just huge huge huge fans of their music.
Why
did you choose to cover Cirith Ungol?
- We used to jam some Cirith
Ungol songs during our rehearsals. We played at Larissa city some weeks
ago and we thought to give it a try. We played "Black Machine" and it
went really well. Everyone's comment were very encouraging.
And why exactly I'm Alive?
- Because
it is one of the best songs ever written and one of our favorites. He
hadn't told anyone that we were going to cover I'm Alive. It was a big
surprise for all.
You
do not have to know the story behind the lyrics. Each one of us had in
his life one, two or many dark times... This song reflects our feelings
in times like these. It gives us a way to express emotions. But the true
power of the song is in the end. The last two lines are the ones that
give you strenght to hold and move on... Great great great song. Fully
emotional...
Will this cover be released on any record?
It wasn't recorded. Only what you saw on youtube, so no!
Any plans for a studio cover version?
Not
for the moment! I think that a song like this cannot be re-recorded. It
might lose its originality. The production of "Frost and Fire" is one
of the elements that makes it so magical (even though for many people it
isn't "good")
Nick and Convixion

Great cover IMO, Papakostas, the singer, looks and sounds very passionate. Would be nice to hear more Ungol covers from these guys.
