2022 Lineup

Symphonity

With up tempo hymns, a high portion of classical melodies, cleverly played, tricky guitar parts and Olaf Hayer’s (ex-Luca Turilli) unmistakable vocals, SYMPHONITY easily reached international standards.

After various strokes of fate, the band returned with the powerful “Marco Polo (Part 2) – Crimson Silk)”, feturing their new vocalists Antonio Abate (Perseus) and Mayo Petranin (ex-Signum Regis).
