Byron

On 2024's Chapter II: The Lotus Covenant this Finnish band play an easygoing form of slightly doomy traditional metal, with plenty of nods to the 80's and even 70's, when the line between heavy metal and hard rock was especially blurry. Vocalist Johanna Etaläkari's clear, melodic yet classically rock-inspired vocals are a major plus here (though, unfortunately, she left soon after the album's release). The band's lineup seems rather fluid, with only founder Johannes Lahti left after just two albums. Still, there's potential here for a breakout if things fall their way.
