George Konchylakis

George Cohylakis assumed the role of official Country Partner and Promoter for Wacken Metal Battle Greece in 2008. Under his leadership, the Greek chapter was established as a structured, merit-based platform connecting underground heavy music acts of Greece to the global stage at Wacken Open Air in Germany. The initiative has helped launch and elevate dozens of prominent Greek bands within the international heavy metal festival circuit, ensuring consistent representation for the local scene abroad. Recently a regional expansion took place in the inaugural Wacken Metal Battle Cyprus held in early 2026, marking the first time Cypriot bands competed under the official global Wacken Metal Battle umbrella.
