    Biography

    Adagio is a French progressive metal band formed in 2000 by guitarist Stéphan Forté. Adagio's music is known for its technical precision and dark orchestration. Adagio keeps unique complex lead workings which are complemented with a powerful and driving rhythm section. Since their third studio album “Dominate”, Adagio has evolved from their original power metal sound, but still adhering to their trademark elements of virtuosity and massive orchestral influences, and they implemented a heavier sound with traditional death grunts. “Archangels in Black” was the band's fourth album. The band has stated that the compositions are the ultimate between melodic and extreme metal, and can be considered as a more brutal version of their second album “Underworld”. The fifth album ‘Life” was released mid 2017, after a successful Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign. On “Life”, Adagio mixes progressive metal with eastern ethnic and djent influences. Stéphan Forté (guitar), Franck Hermanny (bass) and Kevin Codfert (keyboards) have always been the foundation of Adagio, whilst they have had multiple vocalists and drummers in the line-up.
