George Tsalikis - "Live To Ride" (video)

Adrenaline coursing inside me
Twisting the throttle,
I increase my speed
I’m passing those all around me
The feel of the wind
Is just what I need
I thrive on the sound of the engine
It sounds like a demon
Out hunting its prey
The feel of the ground underneath me
The grip of the rubber
As I make my way

Basking in the thrill (basking in thrills)
As I get my fill (I get my fill)
Lean on every turn, I feel alive

Ride on, pushing the limits
No fear, onward I ride
Like a falcon up high,
Soaring majestically
Throughout the sky
Drive on, feeling the freedom
As I ride on the wind
Savor each moment in time
None can deter you when you live to ride

There’s nothing on earth that can stop me
Feeling the power that cannot be matched
There’s no one out there that can top me
There is no driver that I cannot catch
Feeling the urge to go faster
Hearing the sound of the engine increase
Out here where I am the master
Within the chaos I find inner peace

Basking in the thrill (basking in thrills)
As I get my fill (I get my fill)
Lean on every turn, I feel alive

Ride on, pushing the limits
No fear, onward I ride
Like a falcon up high, soaring majestically throughout the sky
Drive on, feeling the freedom
As I ride on the wind
Savor each moment in time
None can deter you when you live to ride

Free from the cage, feel the sun beating down
Warming your leather as you tear up the ground
Every ride an adventure, alert and aware
On a horse made of metal, there’s no other care

Ride on, pushing the limits
No fear, onward I ride
Like a falcon up high, soaring majestically throughout the sky
Drive on, feeling the freedom
As I ride on the wind
Savor each moment in time
None can deter you when you live to ride

Ο Γιώργος Τσαλίκης (όχι ο Έλληνας ποπ τραγουδιστής) συστήθηκε στο "μεταλλικό" κοινό μέσω των Gothic Knights. Ήταν ο τραγουδιστής τους στο πρώτο μισό της δεκαετίας του ενενήντα. Το 1996 έφυγε από τους G.K. και πήγε στους Zandelle, στους οποίος παραμένει μέχρι και τις ημέρες μας.

Ταυτόχρονα είναι τόσο στους Overlorde, όσο και στους Porphyra. Παράλληλα "τρέχει" και το προσωπικό του σχήμα. Το ντεμπούτο τους ("The Sacrifice" 2016) διαδέχθηκε το album "Return to Power" που κυκλοφόρησε στα τέλη Μαρτίου με τον Τσαλίκη να έχει αναλάβει όλα τα μουσικά όργανα πλην τυμπάνων...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Who doesn't know George Tsalikis!? The US metalheads knows him from his days at Gothic Knights in the early to mid-1990s. Since then he is the founding member of Zandelle. In addition, the American singer already impressed in 2016 with his first ever solo work, a vampire themed concept album titled ´The Sacrifice´.

After he has signed a worldwide record deal with Pure Steel Records, he will be releasing his new solo album called ´Return To Power´. As the album title suggests, George Tsalikis is back in power metal with American influences on his ten new songs.

The compositions sound like classic heavy metal of the eighties and nineties and deliver a great anthem factor of the masters voice. Power Metal and George Tsalikis are back.»
