Marios Iliopoulos, born December 16, 1969 in Sydney, Australia is an acclaimed Greek heavy metal guitarist and founder of the Greek/Swedish melodic death metal band Nightrage, and a former member of Exhumation.
After recording three albums with Exhumation (all of them produced in Sweden), Marios felt he should form Nightrage in order to utilize and make his wildest musical dreams come true.
Marios formed Nightrage along with fellow Greek guitar hero Gus G. Many prominent figures of metal such as Tomas Lindberg, Nicholas Barker, Tom S. Englund, Mikael Stanne, and Per Möller Jensen have collaborated with the band. Marios has also made guest solo appearances for various artists, such as Dragonland, Dies Irae, Septic Flesh, Firewind, Mystic Prophecy and Universum. Marios also helped Death Metal band The Forsaken out on tour as bass player, and has been on tour with Firewind filling the same position.
