2024 A Year of Music, Memories and Milestones


As the year comes to an end, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we've shared and express my gratitude for your unwavering support. 2024 has been a landmark year for both my solo work as Yannis "The Loner" and my reunion with Still I'm Sad.


Solo Albums by Yannis "The Loner"

This year, I explored new horizons and revisited cherished moments, releasing four albums that reflect different facets of my musical journey:



Born to Run (March 10): A personal exploration of life's relentless pursuit of dreams.

Northern Skies; Act I: The Promise of Dawn (April 18): The first part of an emotional saga.

Northern Skies; Act II: The Serenity of Dusk (September 1): The tranquil yet powerful conclusion to the Northern Skies story.

W€ATH€R€PORT (October 28): A long-awaited release of music recorded back in 2013, finally seeing the light of day.


As we enter 2025, I’m thrilled to announce my upcoming album:


The Shape of Sound (January 7, 2025): A deeply personal instrumental journey through soundscapes that shape the way we feel and dream.



Still I'm Sad: Reuniting After 17 Years

This year marked a monumental return for Still I'm Sad. After 17 years of silence, we reconnected and rekindled our creative fire, releasing not one, but three albums:


Echoes from the Past (May 30): A 2-hour, 23-song collection of unreleased gems and re-recorded favorites. The cover is a tribute to the Sound Machine Studio in Piraeus, Greece, where our early albums were brought to life.

Silence 17 (July 11): Our triumphant comeback album, signifying the 17 years of absence.

Homeland (October 11): A heartfelt journey back to where it all began.



What's Next for 2025?

We are not slowing down!



A Deep Scar of Blue (January 11, 2025): A classic Still I'm Sad album, filled with melodic rock and heartfelt ballads.

Live to Die in Nevermore (April 2025): Our heaviest and most ambitious project yet. This concept album was started in 2007 but left unfinished until now. The story unfolds one song at a time, with new tracks released every 1-2 weeks starting January.

Thank You for Being Part of This Journey


Your support has been the driving force behind everything we've accomplished. Whether you’ve streamed a song or shared our music with a friend, you've helped us make this dream a reality.


Here's to an amazing 2025 filled with music, memories, and connection. Stay tuned for updates, and don't forget to mark your calendars for the exciting releases ahead!


Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,

Yannis "The Loner" & Still I'm Sad

2024 came with many surprises... In March I released my studio album "Born to Run", which was accepted with great enthusiasm. Thank you so much for all the support...



I am thrilled to announce the release of my latest albums! "Northern Skies; Act 1: The promise of dawn" (18th of April) and "Northern Skies; Act 2: The serenity of dusk" (31st of August). These albums truly encapsulate who I am at this moment in my life. Each track reflects my journey, experiences, and emotions, offering a genuine representation of where I stand creatively and personally...







2024 is very special, since my album "WeatheReport", that was recorded back in 2013, was officially released (28th of October).





Most significantly, I had the honor of reconnecting with one of the most influential individuals I had the pleasure of sharing the stage with, two decades ago... I'm referring to Pavlos "SnakEye" from the lineup of Still I'm Sad in 2003-2004. After several discussions, we decided to bring Still I'm Sad back to life and the album "Echoes from the Past" has been released on the 30th of May 2024. The album "Silence 17" was released on the 11th of July & the album "Homeland" was released on the 11th of October. Stay tuned for the upcoming album "A Deep Scar of Blue", set for a January 2025 release...
