About

Angtoria is a symphonic metal band that masterfully blends elements of gothic metal to create a unique and powerful sound. The group originated from a collaboration between Chris Rehn, a Swedish multi-instrumentalist and composer, and Sarah Jezebel Deva (Sarah Jane Ferridge), an English vocalist renowned for her work with bands like Cradle of Filth and Therion. Initially conceived as an orchestral project, Angtoria expanded its lineup with the addition of Tommy Rehn on guitar, transforming their musical direction towards a heavier metal sound enriched with orchestral components. Their debut album, God Has a Plan for Us All, features contributions from bassist Dave Pybus and drummer John Henriksson, further solidifying their place in the gothic symphonic metal scene.

How to Sound Like Angtoria

Angtoria's sound is defined by its intricate blend of symphonic and gothic elements, creating a lush, cinematic atmosphere. The music is characterized by rich orchestrations, soaring vocal lines, and heavy guitar riffs that maintain a delicate balance between melodic and aggressive. Their soundscape often involves the use of orchestral arrangements and synthesizers, enhancing the dramatic and theatrical feel of their compositions. The bass work, as demonstrated by Dave Pybus, often utilizes the deep, resonant tones of the ESP Surveyor 5 to anchor the complex layers of sound. Guitar tones are achieved through a combination of precision and power, likely supported by equipment that complements their symphonic intensity, while the drums provide a dynamic and powerful backbone that drives the music forward.
