Biography
They were one of the first NWOBHM (New wave of British Heavy metal) coming from Sweden. 1983 after a tour in Germany Ebony Records owner and producer Darryl Johnston offered the band a record deal, and 1984 the first album Bringer of evil was released. The album become a good selling album.

The second album Revenge was released 1986 and the last record under the wings of Ebony Records.[2]
While most early-80's era metal bands disappeared Syron Vanes took a break but never disband. They continued touring and write songs but no records were made until 2003 when the new album Insane was released.

2009 Anders Hahne joined Syron Vanes again and the band begin to write songs for a new album.
2013 The album Evil Redux are released and Syron Vanes once again enter the scene.[4] Pete Pardo at Sea Of Tranquility wrote "If you like classic metal sounds, chances are you're going to get a lot of mileage out of this CD. It's not hard to get into headbanging form with tracks such as "Sacrifice", "Only Hell Remains", "Hellion Child", "Heaven and Back", and the grinding "Bringer of Evil". Plenty of tasty, crunchy riffage throughout the album courtesy of Vahlstroem & Hahne, and with the spot on production it only raises the enjoyment factor"
Syron Vanes having enjoyed a more than 30-year career with no plans to retire.[5]
By June 2014, Syron Vanes were very special guest for Jake E Lee's Red Dragon Cartel on his UK tour. The concerts were at the O2 Academy Islington London and Rescue Rooms in Nottingham. In July 2014 they were opening for Sebastian Bach.
