Crown Solace was formed in 2020 in Aberdeen Scotland by Guitarist and Songwriter Valentyn Tkach. He was looking to create symphonic metal with modern twist, breaking the mould for the genre and adding something new that would set the band aside from its already established counterparts.

Val enlisted the talents of Bass player and harsh vocalist, Callum Hutchinson along with soprano Ally Watson

The group released their debut single Obscured Reality to great reviews however shortly after they parted ways with their vocalist Ally

Val approached countertenor Pete Rawcliffe after hearing his work on Instagram and asked if he would be interested on trying his vocals on a track they had prepared for the original vocalist – Pete was up for the challenge and the guys liked what he did, resulting in him becoming the new vocalist for Crown Solace.

The single Horizons was released on the 18th of February. Drawing inspiration form bands such as Nightwish , Amaranthe , Architects and Epica , this bombastic symphonic metal track is sure to get noticed from its originality and divergence from the normal tropes within the genre. The main point of difference is Pete’s trained sopranist voice coupled with Callum’s hardcore screams – a combo that’s never been done before!
