Their musical style is an eclectic blend of various genres and influences, culminating together in a suspenseful, mysterious, soulful, and rocking. Their songs are personal. Their songs are ours.
Victoria K
As the night reaches its crescendo, Victoria K will close out the show with a grand finale that will have you on your feet, swept away by the symphonic metal magic that has defined this unforgettable night of Down Under Symphonic Metal Fusion!
Emerging from the sepulchral mists and haunted landscapes of ancient myth, Victoria K cast a lengthening shadow over Australia and beyond. This five-piece lead the Australian Gothic Metal charge with soaring vocals, expansive melodies, and bombastic songwriting that draws on the resonance of the oldest tales and fresh emotion. Victoria K first came to the notice of listeners with their single ‘Lacuna,’ which was distributed in Australia and New Zealand by Warner Music Group (Australia) and was an early taste of things to come with their debut album, Essentia. Soon after the release of the 2019 single ‘Lacuna’ ahead of the band’s first album, Victoria K were invited to support Swiss Folk Metal legends Eluveitie at Melbourne’s Croxton Bandroom. Though this was Victoria K’s first live outing, they took the crowd by storm and left them chanting for more. This entry into the live scene set the stage for the release of Essentia perfectly. The diversity of music across the Essentia album is showcased across the four single/video releases – ‘Lacuna,’ ‘Forsaken,’ ‘The Haunting’ and ‘Matrix.’ While ‘Forsaken’ reaches into the darker corners of Victoria K’s musical palette, ‘Matrix’ by contrast is a fast and uplifting song guaranteed to get the blood pumping.
