Finnish power metal band Metal De Facto exploded onto the scene in 2019 with their debut album “Imperium Romanum”, a theme-driven collection of songs about Ancient Rome with a bombastically nostalgic, old school power metal style.
These fresh but familiar songs quickly caught the attention of metal listeners worldwide, notably with the first single “The Conqueror” amassing over 200,000 video views and over 600,000 streams in various streaming platforms.
In early 2020 the band held their first headlining show in Helsinki which attracted fans from all over the world to attend the show in a packed On the Rocks club.
This success quickly lead the band to continue performing live, opening for prime moving metal bands Ensiferum and Beast in Black.
The band consists of guitarists Esa Orjatsalo (ex Dreamtale) and Mikko Salovaara (Kiuas), bassist Sami Hinkka (Ensiferum, ssSHhh), keyboardist Benji Klint-Connelly (Everfrost) and drummer Atte Marttinen (ex Kivimetsän Druidi). It was announced however in 2022 that former vocalist Mikael Salo (ex Thy Row, ex Dyecrest) would no longer be the band’s singer. On the same day the band’s new vocalist Aitor Arrastia hailing from Spain was announced along with the announcement of the band’s upcoming second full-length album, “Land of the Rising Sun part 1”. The album will be the first of two parts, themed after Japanese culture.
