Solarcycles

Do you want to unleash your energy or drift into a dreamlike state? Step into the world of Solarcycles — a Symphonic Folk Metal band from the Netherlands — and experience music as a gateway to stunning landscapes where a heightened sense of awareness becomes tangible.

Formed in 2015, Solarcycles crafts melancholic, powerful music that blends pagan folk-inspired melodies, cinematic symphonies, and melodic metal into a sound both haunting and uplifting. Their songs explore nature, inner reflection, spirituality, and the urgent call to protect the Earth — a deep, emotional journey through shadow and light.

In 2023, their debut album LUNAR was awarded Best Folk Metal Album by Folk N Metal, praised for its lush violin lines, poetic vocals, and epic arrangements. The band has also supported Blackbriar, further cementing their place in the European symphonic metal scene.
