Sonus Corona is a progressive metal band hailing from Finland formed in late 2011. The band strives to mix catchy melodies with heavy riffs in a progressive style.
It first started off as a side project between Ari, the main songwriter, and Rasmus, the drummer. After jamming together for a while, it did not take long for them to decide to grow from a duo into a full band. Bass player Aki Niemi joined the group in 2012, solo guitarist Harri Annala at the start of 2013 and vocalist Timo Mustonen at the end of 2013.
The band is all about creating music that is inspiring. The groundwork for the release of their first album started right after Timo had joined the band. The self-titled debut album was released in December 2015, with songs which portray the inner thoughts of a man trying to survive in a decaying world. The album presents the listener with inspiring musical atmospheres ranging from heavy as hell to light as a feather. It is a mixture of progressiveness, heaviness and melody.
