About Siva Six
Siva Six is a dark electro / industrial act that originated in Athens, Greece and now operates from Leipzig, Germany. The current line-up consists of vocalist Z (Georgios “George” Tamvakologos) and keyboardist Yuri Blavatsky.
The projectâs roots go back to 1997, when Z first fronted the band Wintermute together with keyboardists Evi and Noid. They issued two demo CDs and contributed a cover of The Cureâs “Pornography” to the tribute compilation “15 Imaginary Songs â A Tribute To The Cure.” After Eviâs departure, Z and Noid continued, drawing on experience in other Greek bands connected to the metal and dark scenes before re-emerging in the 2000s under the name Siva Six.
Siva Six released their debut album “Rise New Flesh” in 2005 through the Italian label Decadance Records, followed in 2006 by the second album “Black Will.” They included tracks such as “See The Six,” “Heart Of The Master,” “Now Itâs Dark” and “Her Eyes Black” which became club hits in the scene and were also featured on compilations. A double-disc remix edition, “Rise New Flesh (Flesh and Will Resurrected),” followed in 2008, collecting reworks by artists including Dope Stars Inc., Noisuf-X, Dark Soho, Soman, Aes Dana and Alien Vampires.
In 2010 Siva Six signed with the Belgian label Alfa Matrix. Their third studio album “The Twin Moons” appeared in 2011, blending dark electro and orchestral elements, with expanded editions “ZERA (The Twin Moons / Japanese Edition Remixes)” and “Alfa & Omega (The Twin Moons / European Edition Remixes)” extending the material through collaborations with remixers such as Metroland, Killus and Christian Cambas. The 2013 “Superstition” EP added new songs and a large set of remixes.
The bandâs fourth full-length album “Dawn of Days” followed in 2016 via Alfa Matrix, introducing tracks like “To The Light,” “Twenty Eight,” “Superstition (2k16 Edit)” and “The Messenger.”
At Side-Line introduced Siva Six with the track “To The Light” on our very own Face The Beat series.
In 2018 the band released the 17-track strong digital remix album “nyx” and continued remixing other bands including the Theatre of Tragedy track “Forever is the World“. The band also revealed the 13-year old previously unreleased video of “Heart of The Master”‘ when releasing the 2022 remastered / re-release edition of “Black Will” on Advoxya Records.
In 2021 Siva Six launched the digital single “Ghost Dance” on Alfa Matrix, followed later that year by their fifth studio album “DeathCult,” which brought together songs like “The Cult,” “Club Macabre,” “Alpha,” “Omega” and “âŠDecember.” Further singles and videos continued to appear. The standalone clip “Club Macabre” and the follow-up “Superstition” extended the “DeathCult” cycle and reconnected to earlier material from the “Superstition” EP. In 2023 the band issued the digital EP “Fight the Machine” on Alfa Matrix with an accompanying video.
Over the years Siva Six appeared on more than forty compilations and generated over sixty remixes by and for other artists. They have performed in at least nineteen countries, with shows alongside acts such as Type O Negative, Front 242, Soman, Grendel, Theatre of Tragedy, Apoptygma Berzerk, Die Krupps and Hocico.
Across this history, the line-up has evolved from the original Wintermute formation with Z, Evi and Noid, through a long duo phase with Z and U-Ri / Herr Khaos on keyboards, to the current configuration with Z and Yuri Blavatsky.
