Operadyse Pandemonium

2013, Operadyse is a new french symphonic power metal band from Montpellier in Southern France. The band's origin goes back to 2006 when guitarist Damien Marco, the mastermind behind Operadyse, formed this six-member unit with the help of his friends Bastien Sable (keyboards) and Jennifer Lassalle (vocalist) and three more members. After some membership changes the band found its current line-up with Emmanuel Colombier (Drums) and Stephane Lambert (Bass). Singer Franck Garcia, who is also involved in french band Spheric Universe Experience, finally joined in after the original female vocalist Jennifer left the band. Strongly influenced by European Metal in the tradition of Iron Maiden, Helloween and Rhapsody, the band added their own blend of melodic Power Metal. The debut album PANDEMONIUM shows a strong atmospheric touch wrapped around a pounding rythm, driving guitars, oszillating keyboards with the clear and very powerful voice of Franck Garcia giving the band's style its typical expression.
