Midnight Realm
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.
