Venia

這是一支來自芬蘭的樂團(tuán)，女聲的嗓音和極具強(qiáng)勢爆發(fā)力的唱腔是這支樂團(tuán)最大的特點，音樂整體感比較強(qiáng)，但唱片制作不是很好，有些歌曲靠的是旋律取勝，但沒有突出樂團(tuán)的特點。
Venia is:
Veronica - vocals, violin
Viktor - lead guitar, backing vocals
Jere - guitar, backing vocals
Juhani - bass, backing vocals
Antti - drums
Venia is a melodic metal band from Finland with female vocals. The band takes influences from a wide range of metal genres such as power, thrash, prog and heavy metal. The music is also spiced up with some occasional violin.
Venia got its start in 2002 when guitarists Viktor and Jere started jamming together and seeking more band members. The lineup was finally completed in the spring of 2004 with vocalist/violinist Veronica, drummer Daniel and bassist Juhani. The summer was spent recording a first demo titled "Genesis", which was released at Venia's first concert that fall and sold out a year later.
In 2005 Venia recorded their first official studio album, a MCD titled "In Our Weakness" that was released via Bombworks Records. It was a step towards a heavier, more aggressive sound and included more thrash metal influences as well as some extreme vocals. By the end of 2006 Daniel decided to leave Venia, but the band nevertheless started recording their first full length album with Daniel agreeing to record the drums as his final band duty.
Now, two years later, Venia together with Open Grave Records / NePlusUltra Music proudly present "Victory by Surrender" - a strong debut album that combines the best elements of the "Genesis" demo and "In Our Weakness" MCD while featuring more hooks, more melody, more violin, more heavy riffing, more soaring vocals and more VENIA than ever before.
