Power Symphony

Power Symphony was an Italian heavy metal band from Milan, Italy. The band formed in the beginning of the 1990s. The band released two full-length albums and one EP. Although no official statement has been made to the public as to the disbanding of the group, lack of activity seems to point in that direction. Their third studio album, Mother Darkness, never saw release and their website stopped being updated in 2004.

Since the band has fallen silent, its members have pursued other endeavors.

Vocalist Michela D'Orlando has pursued her passion of Historical European martial arts (HEMA), joining a club named Ordine delle Lame Scaligere. A prevalent theme in her lyrics and the band's imagery, she specializes in the steel longsword, having ranked as high as 4th in the world.

Bassist Daniele Viola joined the band Lacus Mortis as their guitarist around the time of Power Symphony's silence. The band lasted from 2003 until 2007. He also played bass in the band Aedera Obscura.
