Biography
In the eerie aftermath of a civilization's collapse, where the remnants of society linger beneath the oppressive veil after the Dark Shadow, five symphonic power metal bards rise to command the stage. Their haunting melodies and thunderous chords serve as an anthem for a world stifled by the dominion of a powerful few.
Within the verses of their epic compositions, the bards paint a vivid narrative of a populace ensnared in the suffocating grip of the mighty Afthron. Through the crescendo of their music, they unveil the harrowing tales of individuals who emerge from the sands, bravely confronting the malevolent forces that hold humanity captive.
As the melodic saga unfolds, the Dark Shadow becomes a character in itself—a metaphorical embodiment of the tyranny and despair that blankets the world. Yet, amidst the bleakness, the power metal minstrels cast a luminous spotlight on the indomitable spirit of those who rise against the darkness. Their verses tell of a courageous few who stand as beacons of resistance, challenging the very essence of the Dark Shadow and striving to liberate humanity from its ominous grasp.
