HI Steemians this is our intro post into the world of Steemit....
Nostos is a band from Madrid Spain, that has recently released his first EP, ‘Luces del Norte’ (‘Northern Lights’) a beautifully crafted album filled with ethereal landscapes and mystical melodies created by the superb spanish guitar of Sergio García, the electric touch by Gonzalo Saez's telecaster and the mastery of texture and atmos by the synths and production of Nacho Hernandez.

Nostos is formed by in order of appearance in the picture above by Gonzalo Saez, electric guitar, who started in music in a first project called Espiral, a Rock and Roll project influenced by bands such as Heroes del Silencio, Led Zeppelin or Pearl Jam alongside from the electronic act Downward Spiral Mantra.
Gonzalo Saez had also an acoustic project with Pepe Rubio Larrauri before joining, a previous project to Nostos shared with Nacho and Sergio called ‘La Dolorosa’ a darker project in the total opposite spectrum of Nostos, Death metal, Gothic and Stoner with some Ethnic touches.
Sergio García, Spanish Guitar, has devoted himself to the study of guitar classic and flamenco among others, and this can clearly be seen in the beautifuly crafted melodies of ‘Luces del Norte’ that make the center of the sound of this promising project. He has worked in many other projects before forming ‘La Dolorosa’ alongside Nacho Hernandez.
Nacho Hernandez on the Keyboards,synths and production is well known in the Death and Ethnic metal world as ‘Vihmana’ his solo project that it would deserve an article of his own... in Nostos he creates the background and subtle landscapes that forms the canvas for the main themes created by the ethereal guitars. The production of the album is just fantastic, showing how a seasoned veteran in the arts of sound creation he is.
