He likes to play bass with a lot of dynamics and expression, using techniques such as slapping and finger style.

Raffaella Stella La Torre, Our singer π€ From a young age, she developed a passion for music. She learned to play the guitar and the piano and wrote her first few songs when she was 14. As a lover of classical music and metal music, she found her true inspiration in symphonic metal. Deeply influenced by Floor Jansen, one of the most majestic voices in the metal scene, Stella realised music was going to play a major role in her life. During the pandemic, she decided to learn how to sing professionally and tuned into the right vibrations of the Universe that led her to manifest her deep desire to join a metal band as a singer.
Fun fact: she's passionate about linguistics, literature, philosophy, psychology, travel, and photography.

Mat Swinn, Our drummer π€ He chose the loudest and most primal of all forms of creative instrument, drums. A deep connection spoke out, and since the age of 15, he has continued to fulfill his part in the rhythmic beat of the universe. Being raised on a steady diet of rock music, upon hearing one of the greatest drummers, John Bonham, his love and passion for all things drums and bass were formed. Influences range from the low end drum and bass to heavy metal, including bands such as Pitchshifter, Deftones, and Oceansize. When not in pursuit of the next perfect beat, Mat is a certified classic car enthusiast and a passionate animal rights advocate. He creates delicious vegan food and knows the best grub locations in London.

Greg Ledingham, Our guitarist. He inherited his passion for music from his father, Jonathan Kelly, a renowned Irish musician. Greg grew up listening to his father's records and learned to play the guitar at a young age. He developed a versatile and eclectic musical taste, ranging from symphonic metal to funk rock. Some of his favorite bands are Nightwish, Extreme, and Killswitch Engage. Greg is the mastermind behind the riffs and melodies of our songs. Fun fact: he doesn't like to rehearse his solos beforehand, but rather improvises them on the spot, letting the feeling of the moment guide his fingers on the fretboard.
