My name is Achilleas Kalantzis and I am the proud owner of Suncord Audiolab (recording studios in Ioannina, Greece)
I have been a music and sound tech enthusiast my whole life. I studied and got my integrated-master diploma from Audiovisual Arts department in Ionian University. During the days I worked on interactive systems of sound, data sonification, audio/recording engineering and of course visual arts. Later I worked as an instructor of music production and sound engineering at IEK Delta 360 where I shared my knowledge and ideas.
I compose and produce music, experiment, work with my partners and travel around the world to meet great people while performing and releasing records with my bands: Varathron, Aenaon and Katavasia. Besides my bands, I release my own electronic music under the name Aural Haze.
Since 2012 I have collaborated with many artists and labels as a recording, mixing and mastering engineer (credited as “Crown Audio Conspiracies” until 2017) and I have worked as a producer for bands such as Ushala, Varathron, Blind Tendril, Isolert, Thlipsis, Aenaon, Spider Kickers, Move the Sun, One Step From the Edge, Thyrathen, Herald, Synteleia, Katavasia, Carnac, Riffobia, K2 and many more.
Through my longterm collaboration with Greek Floga Records I specialized in vinyl mastering. More recently I also became the inhouse engineer of VIC Records – one of the best extreme metal labels in Netherlands since 1992! Audio restoration, digitizations and mastering for digital and analog media are some of my usual tasks. Through the years I have delivered works and remasters for legendary artists such as Possessed, Grave Digger, Angel Dust, Iced Earth, Thy Light, Sacramentum, Nightfall, Crimson Moon, Malevolent Creation and many, many more.
In 2021 I also collaborated for a while with MIA Laboratories as a product specialist and promoter.
