Years active:1973-present

Yargos is a progressive metal band/project created way back in 1973 by Wieland "Wielo" Hofmeisterin (ex-Time Machine), but the project didn't last nor fulfil any album. Then, in 2001, Yargos came back to life and became a real band with Andrew McDermott (ex-Threshold) on vocals.

The bands sophomore effort "Magical Karma" has been completed and was expected to be released in early 2009 but this never materialised.
