Midnight Realm are a symphonic metal band from Teeside U.K.
In a period of half arsed emo death metal riffs and side parting breakdowns Midnight Realm brings across a new dimension in melodic metal. Rather than going for the standard routine within the genre the band have decided to branch out and explore many areas which have yet to be touched upon. Incorporating heavy orchestral keys work, crushing low end riffs and a rhythm section that will shatter your spine, Midnight Realm come with one mission: To bring proper metal to the masses.
Although Midnight Realm have not been on the scene for very long, a whir of interest has centred around the band, with many musicians and fans drawn to the emense atmosphere the band has been able to create with multi layered instrumental work over harmonised clean and abrasive vocal work. Currently the band are locked away writing and recording their debut material set for release at some point during 2008.

Why this name?
It was from an old band that never took off, but it matched the style we were going for with this one too, so I decided it would be nice to keep that dream alive!
Do you play live?
We're currently focusing on writing new material, but we'll hopefully be playing gigs by the end of the year.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It makes it easier for people to get heard, which ultimately is a good thing.
It's not all about the money you can make....

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Most definitely. We've already had some interest, and we're still in the initial stages!
Band History:
We don't really have much 'history' yet. But give us time.....
Your influences?
The band take influence from all genres of music, to create a diverse atmospheric and futuristic i-orchestral metal sound that challenges the mind as well as pulverises the ears. Main band influences come from bands such as Dragonland, Periphery, Symphony X, Dream Theater, In Flames, Threat signal and Soilwork.
Favorite spot?
The Gothenburg scene is what we live to become part of....
