Dreamslain

Incorporating extreme metal elements with classical influences and a progressive twist, Dreamslain perform their own unique interpretation of epic metal. Their dynamic and melodic sound is best experienced in a live setting, where improvised solos by all 3 bandmembers make each show unique.

“Blending epic metal with prog rock, Dreamslain are a unique proposition for listeners who like a bit of head-banging but with a bit more complexity to it.”

- Games, Brrraaains & A Head- Banging Life
