“Love these guys' music! Real original sounding and very catchy!”
“Ink music: calligraphy on rough paper...”
“Οι Ink είναι το μόνο συγκρότημα στην Ελλάδα που μπορεί να συγκριθεί ηχητικά με αγαπημένα αμερικάνικα εναλλακτικά συγκροτήματα! Δυνατές μελωδίες και άψογες παραγωγές!”
“Ink's new record, Loom, is full of deep, soulful, and well produced rock music. I can hear influences from certain Seattle bands, including mine Second Coming, as well as classic bands like The Doors. This is Ink's best work. I'm proud to have produced the track "Ophelia" on it.”
“INK. = Passionate. Emotional. Honest.”
“Ink are a rock n roll band on a mission. Every great band from the Ramones to the Rolling Stones were on a mission. When you hear Ink you hear a band that is completely immersed in the sound they are creating and not interested in what's fashionable or flavor of the month..they sound like they do because that's how they want it! No compromise,no surrender,no bullshit. Like I said..Ink are on a mission!”
"I love the mystery of INK"
“They have the heart,the passion and the desire,they re going to succeed!”
"Producer Johnny Bacolas is one talented gentleman, and his latest project, INK, sounds like it would fit well on modern day rock radio."
“Big and moody!”
"Interesting sound, rooted in Rock but with clear Greek influence and some very cool moods and vibes, I dig it!"
"A compelling union of mood, melody, and depth that can’t and won’t be denied."
“INK brings back all the good stuff we know from our nineties rock heroes. Dark sh*t, great sh*t.”
“Good stuff! Great atmosphere!”
“My friends Chris Tsantalis and Johnny Bacolas have hit it out of the ball park with this music! Ophelia is an orchestral rock masterpiece. Pay attention to what Chris and Ink are doing!”
"Ink" reminds me of a modern Queensryche meets Alice in Chains. It didn't surprise me it was recorded at London Bridge. That is a magical room and Ink is worthy of the company they keep. Well written, well played, well recorded. Good f...ing rock and roll (which is rare these days)"..
“Great Vocals!!!!! ....Let me keep Playing it!”
“Fucking hell! This is the real thing!..”
“Get ready for one of Ink's most powerful songs yet. A rare combination of power, vulnerability and elegance - Ophelia does everything it can to take your breath away as it builds and builds into its climactic painful ending. This could be Ink's best song yet. Ophelia combines vulnerability, sadness, power and elegance into a 4 minute journey of wonderful vocals and symphonic rock orchestration that will knock you out of your chair if you don't hold on tight. A must for contemporary rock fans.”
“Ophelia,another great song from a great band!”
“One step forward!”
“Powerful and epic with a hook that haunts you. ”
“Ophelia is mysterious and crystal clear at the same time. Very dreamy & highly atmospheric. Made me press the repeat button several times & totally carried me away…”
“A song that grows on you. Cinematic and imposing.”
“Dark and atmospheric with excelent orchestrations and vocals this track couldl be the soundrack to your escape from a hard working day. Excellent!”
“Epic and melancholic..”
“Very good production and sound.More atmospheric and dark but still Ink!”
“Slow, dark and epic, if Ophelia is a glimpse at INK's upcoming album, can't wait for the whole image.”
“Yet another inspiring song from a band of true musicians that although musically originate from the grunge rock genre, steadily progress and design their own unique Sound.”
“Ophelia - Exceptional production with an outstanding sound,INK is a breath of fresh air to the world of a dark emotional rock genre.”
“Great work! INK kept their sound but they have gone a step beyond. I love the vocal lines and the production arrangement, it gives this dark filmic feeling. Cant wait for the LP.”
“With Ophelia INK are exploring new sonic landscapes,the dark vibe of the song and the great production are exciting!”
“Another piece of evidence that proves that the Greek rock music scene has no reason to be envious of the rest of Europe is the band INK from Alexandroupoli. Listening to their new song "Ophelia", the first thing that we noticed is the crystal clear production combined with the catchy melodies and the wonderful vocals that touch your heart and make you listen to the song again and again. "Ophelia’s" sound should be heard in high volume so you can discover even the smallest details, feel the music as it changes and let it drive you in uncharted territories. A power "ballad" that moves and will give you peace which is after all the aim of music. To talk directly to the heart of the listener and to make him forget his everyday problems. We would like to congratulate INK once more, who quietly and professionally raise the level of Greek music one more step...”
“Outstanding!”
“Great stuff! Proper production arrangement! A blend of sentimental passion and epic orchestration!”
“Diary is a more than appropriate name for INK’s Poison Tree Records debut, due in large to the fact that it reflects exactly what the CD boasts; a poetic vent of frustration and a reflection of the sinister side of the mind. Diary offers a range of sounds from mellow to sorrow and from rage to misery. Although teeming with raw emotion, the nine songs seems short for any album. At first i was disapointed with the length, alas short can be a good thing as is evident in this case: all of the songs are very well-done and there isn’t really isn't any filler. Each song has its place and each one makes the album more substantial than it actually is. My favourite track is "Easy Day." I think it includes all the best parts of the album in one song, including the changing pace of the song, great guitars and lead singer Chris Tsantalis' talemted vocals. ”
“INK is a trio from Salonica (Greece) that gives us with “Diary” a new album. You will hear Psychedelic Metal, on the one hand a bit conservative but otherwise convincing with the congenial voice of Tsantalis Christos. Metalheads who like a more heavy sound will not be interested in this, but the Prog-Freaks will love songs like the compact “Welcome” and ”heart pills”, the catchy “misery the dream” or the slightly drifting “strange lullaby”, especially because INK are not as gingerly with songwriting as most of their colleagues. Every note is recorded carefully and full of creativity, with the aim not to sound like something you have heard before and the guys passed with flying colors. Well, there should be place to acclaim a maybe musical development on their next release. There is more possible!”
