A press release reads as follows: “They are all legends among the melodic metal community. By sheer coincidence, they all found themselves living on the same continent, in Scandinavia. They decided to join forces and express their talents in the form of a new melodic metal project: SYMFONIA.

“Honoring the heritage of their previous bands STRATOVARIUS, HELLOWEEN, ANGRA and SONATA ARCTICA, SYMFONIA continues their superb melodic metal tradition with an incredible musicianship that is a match made in heaven. This is a force that no serious melodic metal fan will be able to ignore.”

SYMFONIA is:
* Timo Tolkki (STRATOVARIUS, REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE) – Guitar * André Matos (ANGRA, SHAAMAN, VIPER) – Vocals * Jari Kainulainen (STRATOVARIUS, EVERGREY) – Bass * Mikko Härkin (SONATA ARCTICA, KOTIPELTO) – Keyboards * Uli Kusch (MASTERPLAN, HELLOWEEN) – Drums
