About us:
Solarcycles is a Dutch symphonic folk metal band. Solarcycles is known for their melancholic sound and profound lyrics that focus on emotions, hidden knowledge, and the connection between humanity and nature.
Their music combines the darkness of metal with symphonic and traditional folk elements, resulting in a sound reminiscent of bands like Children of Bodom and Within Temptation. The release of their debut album "Lunar" on October 27, 2023 marks a new chapter for the band, leading listeners into a magical realm of acceptance and unity.
Lyrics:
I am the river
Hide
Glance in the fire light
Clay and stones laid down on me
Undying pain for my soul to keep
Where's a road through sorrow
There's a way to hope
Will I find you?
Or will I be lost?
I can see stars are falling
How I'll know what's right?
Let me hold your hand in darkness
Watching rivers of light
I hope the light turns true
And answers me as well as you
When the black birds come
And show me the way
True is the path
While matter decays
Still the rain keeps pouring
In this longest night
Do the answers lie
In the rivers of light?
I can see stars are falling
How I'll know what's right?
Let me hold your hand in darkness
Watching rivers of light
I dream of landscapes
As mirrors of souls
United and untamed
I dream of forests
As temples of love
It dwells amongst the haze
I feel like sun and moon
Like fire and water
Everything coheres
I feel like mountains
Storms and light
Achieving to be free
I see slopes with grass
Gold and waving
All that lies below
I see your eyes with mine
Beyond pain
Together we ascent

This video popped up in my recommendations and man, I am glad it did. It so rare to find a band with a truly unique sound. This song led me to check out their other works and in less than 24 hours I had downloaded both albums and have them on heavy repeat! Trying to describe their sound is difficult. Its like someone took a bit of Blackbriar, a bit of Eluveitie, and just a dash of Florence and the Machine and mixed them all together! I especially love the violin parts and the keyboards! Keep up the awesome work and I hope for many more albums in the future. Your newest fan in the US!

This song meminds me a bit of some of Devin Townsend's recent solo albums with Anneke van Giersbergen- elements of extreme metal and symphonic rock. The folky twist is nice.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! We appreciate all feedback as it helps us grow. Our music blends a variety of genres as we have many influences and we just love exploring different elements, including the occasional growls to create a diverse sound. We're glad you're enjoying our overall sound and hope you'll find more songs that you love in our collection. There's plenty of them without growls for you! ^^
