Signum Regis

Signum Regis is a Slovak power metal band, which was founded in 2007 by the bass player and songwriter Ronnie König. Despite often being labelled as a power metal band, their music can also be described as melodic metal with a focus on heavy, shredding guitars. Most of the Signum Regis band members were part of a metal band called Vindex .
