Symphorce
Symphorce was a German progressive power metal band, originally assembled in 1998. History The band was formed in October 1998 by singer Andy B. Franck. He created the name Symphorce as a play of words, a portmanteau of symphony and force. It was a few months later, in 1999 that they released their first album ''Truth to Promises'' on Noise Records. The release had them touring as support act for Mercyful Fate. After this first tour, a big step happened in the history of the band, when Andy had to replace two band members. It was the arrival of guitarist Cédric "Cede" Dupont and bassist Dennis Wohlbold, that gave the band an entire new sound. A year later, in 2000, their combined songwriting resulted in the second album ''Sinctuary''. It led to the band being quoted as one of the most promising acts in Germany at the time. Andy began to combine Symphorce with singing in the band Brainstorm at the same time. Two years later, Cédric "Cede" Dupont joined the band Freedom ...
