SEDE VACANTE is a female fronted symphonic gothic metal band from Finland and Greece, founded in 2015 by the talented composer Michael Tiko.
With a renewed inspiration and a refreshed line-up (including the extraordinary lead vocalist Stephanie Mazor), the band completed a heavier and faster second album. ‘Conium’ showcases a truly brilliant songwriting, with easy and memorable choruses for each song and featuring a rich, powerful and yet pristine sound.
