Adastreia are a six-piece band hailing from Essex in the UK, who combines the genres of progressive metal and symphonic metal or as they prefer to term it atmospheric metal. They follow in the general vein of established groups such as Nightwish and Within Temptation, whilst drawing on a wide spectrum of influences. Their music is typically characterised by performances in which dark and heavy rock and metal instrumentation and backing vocals are combined with, and counterpointed by, classically oriented feminine lead vocals provided by Alexandra Martin.
