The band was formed under the name MERLIN in winter 2000 with the following line-up:

Sakis Koutsasis- guitars
Alexis Mantirakis-Drums
Giorgos Ntagalis-Bass
Lois Liotakis-Vocals / bass solos

In spring 2001, Giorgos Ntagalis decides to leave the band and Sakis Koutsasis takes over the vocals. Meanwhile Panayiotis Roumeliotis enters the band as the second and solo guitarist and with a brand new name-ELWING-the band started recording their first songs with "Excalibur" being one of them. The same song appeared in their debut album "Immortal stories" which was released later that year and was greeted with much enthusiasm by the Epic Metal fans worldwide!

Winter 2002 find the band missing another member (Lois Liotakis) who was immediately replaced by Tasos Karapapazoglou from the legendary Greek metal band 'Nemesis'. They start working on the new material with feverish creativity for a period of 24 months. After 5 months of recording and mixing their new masterpiece entitled "War" was finished and ready to breakthrough!

The band is not joking! Although relatively new to the scene, they have managed to write a very mature and solid album! A real epic/power metal hymn with aggressive riffing, melodic solos, choir vocals and a warlike majestic atmosphere that sends you directly into the mists of the battlefield!! The band signed a contract with Black Lotus Recs and is ready to unleash their wrath onstage having already played as guests with ELIXIR and SACRED STEEL…

The "War" has begun….
