Solamnia deliver symphonic power metal from Kouvola, drawing their name from the Dragonlance fantasy setting. Active since 2014, they bring Krynn-inspired grandeur to the southeastern Finnish power metal scene.
Solsticio is a symphonic metal band from Buenos Aires, Argentina, fronted by vocalist Carolina Guedes and featuring keyboards, dual guitars, bass, and drums in a full ensemble lineup. The band released their debut album "Lost Souls" in June 2012, a record blending Gothic metal influences with Argentine tango, and followed over a decade later with a self-titled album in August 2023.
Song of Anhubis deliver symphonic gothic metal from the Basque town of Mungia, layering orchestral grandeur over dark themes inspired by Egyptian mythology. Active since 2016, they bring Basque-Egyptian mysticism to the Spanish symphonic scene.
Moscow's Sonno Profondo practice symphonic black metal from the Russian capital since 2021. Their Italian name meaning "deep sleep" channels the grandeur of unconscious depths into orchestrally rich compositions of atmospheric darkness.
Sons of Seasons formed in Aachen, Germany in 2007, organized around Kamelot keyboardist Oliver Palotai, who wrote and produced the band's material and recruited vocalist Henning Basse alongside bassist Jürgen Steinmetz and drummer Daniel Schild. Their debut Gods of Vermin (2009) introduced a dramatic symphonic power metal sound with progressive touches, and Magnisphyricon (2011) expanded the band's compositional ambition further. The project draws on the same European tradition as Kamelot while emphasizing a darker, more orchestral palette. Sons of Seasons have remained a part-time vehicle for Palotai's songwriting outside his primary band obligations.
Dublin's Sonus Mortis blend death, doom, and symphonic metal into dramatically orchestrated compositions since 2013. Their Latin name, meaning "sound of death," perfectly encapsulates their fusion of grandeur and extremity.
Kharkiv's Soul of Rain craft symphonic metal from Ukraine's second city since 2012. Over a decade from the eastern metropolis, their precipitation-spirit name has channeled the emotional depth of rainfall into orchestral compositions.
Soulglass blend symphonic and melodic death metal from Helsinki, layering orchestral arrangements over aggressive melodeath frameworks. Active since 2016, they bring glass-soul fragility to the Finnish capital's symphonic extreme scene.
Souls of Damned conjure symphonic black metal from Gomel, layering orchestral grandeur over blast beats and tremolo riffing. Their extended history traces back through decades of Belarusian extreme metal, making them veterans of the country's underground scene.
