[edit] Biography
Amberian Dawn is a Finnish metal band that classifies themselves as, "melodic, dramatic and powerful metal with female classical vocals." All members of the band have some form of extended history with music and have played in many different bands. Several of the members have played in the group Virtuocity. Virtuocity broke up and started composing music, after which the band began to search for a female vocalist; particularly a classical singer, during the summer of 2006. Around the time they placed an add, they found an add for soprano Heidi Parvianen from the band Iconofear. After listening to her samples, they decided to set up a demo with her and the band. It turned out that she was exactly what they were looking for because not only was she an excellent singer, but could write amazing lyrics. After this, Amberian Dawn was full formed and established as an official band. Their first studio session was in fall 2006 in which they recorded two songs at the Rockstar Productions studio in Hyvinkää, Finland.[1][2]
