History & Biography
This band is presented as power metal, but a quick inspection reveals the act has keyboards and a violin and hence needs to be approached by hard rock and heavy metal fans with extreme caution.

Formed by the guitarists and the drummer in 2020, the band uploaded several songs in advance of an album that emerged in 2021. Dark Side Of Magic featured a dragon on its cover. Damna of Elvenking was a guest. The caution would further prove justified when the act would reissue its record as Dark Side Of Symphony. Manuel D. Ascendent had taken his leave. The band’s live debut was to take place in Bologna, Italy at the Rebirth Of Power Festival on May 1st 2022 supporting Rhapsody Of Fire. Pestilence would be the follow-up and addressed the mental health state of the population following the pandemic. There was a video for the song Theatre Of Sorrow. A Symphony Of Pestilence was the instrumental version of its predecessor in 2024.

The band announced a new line-up in 2026 and promised an album called Empire for 2027. There still was a person playing the violin. The band was Grym Hünter - vocals & rhythm guitar, Alex Moth - lead guitar, Philip Skrim - bass, Dave Tomadini - drums and yes violin player Simon Borgen.

Side-project Heroes Of Forgotten Kingdoms had an album called Dragonslayer with a dragon on its cover.
