After three successful studio albums with BATTLEROAR, and several live shows all over Europe, in the year 2009 Mark Dexter and Manolis Karazeris decided to form new band.
Its name, DEXTER WARD, was taken from the short H.P. Lovecraft novel titled "The Case Of Charles Dexter Ward".
Long time friends and fellow Heavy Metal brothers Akis Pastras (guitars) and John Luna Tsimas (bass) promptly joined their quest, and with Aggelos Tsoukalas (from Bloodstained) on board, the band recorded and released the limited promo CD in 2010. Later that Iron On Iron Records released the "Antarctic Dream" 12" vinyl EP.
One year later the band released its debut album titled "Neon Lights".
In 2013 the band inked the deal with No Remorse Records, and released the "Stars And Stripes" 7" single. Their second studio album called "Rendezvous With Destiny", released at Keep It True Festival in Germany, on April 29, 2016 (produced/mixed by Thimios Krikos).
The band entered the studio on September 2019 and recorded their third full length studio album called "III". First single "Return Of The Blades" published on November 16th, 2019 and the album will be released at Up The Hammers Festival on March 13, 2020 (produced/mixed by Akis Pastras - mastered by Bart Gabriel)
