Darker Shades of Symphony is a neoclassical metal band from Cary, NC, USA. In concert, they bring soprano and baritone voice, ominous guitar, sonorous cello, haunting violin, double-bass drums and keyboard tones to the stage, all of which crescendo beneath lyrical themes of ghost stories and tragic love stories.
