In Greek, 'Akron' refers to the union of opposites. Alpha and omega, beginning and end, darkness and light, and in the case of Simon Sagmatopoulos and Yiannis Gedeon, the classical music of the past and the electronic music of the future. Spelled with the Greek letter Omega instead of O (Akrwn), Akron met at a New Year's Eve party, and finding a common musical ground, decided to combine their talents and interests to create a new kind of futuristic soundtrack music. Their debut album, Origins of the 7 Deadly Sins, combines grandiose symphonic arrangements with EBM and hard trance's pounding drum machines and synth crescendos. Recently B.A. LaRed wrote: "From Greece, comes one of the most innovative duos of the century. Mixing influences such as industrial dance with classical orchestrations, you will notice elements heard in such well-renowned artists as Alan Parsons and Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds. Another group that come into mind is Enigma...with b*lls!! This CD, available in January 2007, is a mesmerizing trip of fear through a persons' subconscious mind".
