DYECREST

Hailing from Ristiina, Finland, Dyecrest are a melodic metal band blending power metal, traditional heavy metal and progressive influences. Their sound is defined by strong melodies, energetic riffs and a balanced mix of heaviness and emotion, earning them a solid international following.

Active since the early 2000s, Dyecrest have shared stages with W.A.S.P., DragonForce, Stratovarius and Sonata Arctica, and appeared at major festivals such as John Smith Rock Festival. Their artistic evolution has been further energised by the addition of vocalist Heidi Aaltonen.

Their fifth full-length album, Defying Gravity, represents the band’s most focused and mature work to date — a clear statement shaped by experience and artistic vision.
