My instrumental Rock/Metal Arrangement of the Greek National Anthem: Hymn to Liberty.

It was written as a 158-stanza poem in 1823 on the Greek island of Zakynthos and printed one year later in Missolonghi.

The Solomos poem was inspired by the brave men who fought in the Greek War of Independence and Greece’s incredibly long, rich history.

In 1865, the King of Greece, George I, visited Corfu and heard the island’s philharmonic band performing the first three stanzas, which had been set to music by the operatic composer Nikolaos Mantzaros.

The King was so impressed that he ordered the band’s music to be played during official events; thus the Hymn to Liberty instantly became the National Anthem of Greece.

Lyrics:
We knew thee of old,
Oh, divinely restored,
By the lights of thine eyes,
And the light of thy Sword,
From the graves of our slain,
Shall thy valour prevail.

As we greet thee again-
Hail, Liberty! Hail!

Late to this one, but by God another fantastic arrangement and performance on your behalf. Keep up your absurdly magnificent work!

My favorite part is 1 min 23 sec where it looks like a statute of Achilles and then shows other historic parts of Greek history.

Meanwhile on Olympus at 3am, *Apollo is playing this at full-blast with Hermes and Dionysus*

Ares: [shouting from the top of his lungs] APOLLO, WILL TURN THAT DISGRACEFUL JUNK

Apollo: Fuck no, this is my jam!

*Zeus strikes his three sons with a lightning bolt, leaving them singed*

Zeus: Boys turn that off! It’s 3am and all of us are trying to sleep

Apollo, Hermes and Dionysus: sorry, dad
