Voltera are a multi-faceted four piece currently residing in Melbourne Australia. Deep from the underground, their sound is a sophisticated, emotive and distinct manipulation of the darker genres.

All this, coupled with their unusual stage antics, gives them a dynamic approach to live music. This you have to see.

Sydonia

Sydonia are probably most best described as a melodic metal band. Whilst their music can sometimes represent that of anger and pain, as in "Andwethoughthewasmad" off the EP (Man)ipulate, it can also sometimes represent that of calm, soft and somewhat relaxing taste, as in "Taste More", also from (Man)ipulate. However, this variety in sound further intensifies the talent that is posessed in this band. Lead singer, Dana Roskvists, explores as many regions of the larynx as you may have thought possible. Lyrically and musically this band will not fail to amaze.
