Proost!: Age Of Sinfonia

Formed in late 2008 by brothers Rasen John (Guitars) and Dr Jekyll Hyde (Keyboards), Age Of Sinfonia was formed while being inspired by bands such as power metallers Dragonland and symphonic goth metal band Nightwish with the latter carrying a huge influence on their style of play. After several auditions and line up changes, the band finally came into place with another set of brothers in the form of Elfie (drums) and Andy (bass)plus the addition of a permeanent violinist (JC) whereas vocalist Savvia Lenore was announced as their current frontwoman on 17 February 2010. Combining the sounds of metal and melody in the form of classical music, Age Of Sinfonia is a nice respite from the usual extreme metal acts that Singapore produces in abundance and with the country making great leaps into the global metal scene, Age Of Sinfonia provides a variety that amazingly ables to bring listeners to all genres together. This has been evidenced at their shows, including an appearance for the Singapore Street Festival and the upcoming Youth Olympic Games at *scape Youth Park stage on 21 August while Savvia has recently performed at the Dio tribute gig held in Blackhole 212. Fans of the band and those who are into symphonic metal take note: Their upcoming EP Capriccio will be released by the end of the year and there are possibilities of them doing promotional gigs and do not be surprised if you see their name in countries such as Greece. For a band that is well stocked with talent, Age Of Sinfonia are a testament to the Singapore music scene and could very well be the flagbearers of an emerging symphonic goth metal scene right here

An interview was recently conducted with the band and the article can be found here:
