‘Sons Of Seasons’, founded in 2007 by Oliver Palotai, is a symphonic metal band from Germany.

The first two members besides Oliver were Luca Princiotta and Daniel Schild, who joined in Spring 2007. The bassist Jurgen Steinmetz joined the following summer.

The biggest challenge for Oliver during the initial songwriting process was to bring all his passion for Metal, Jazz and Classical Music together. Surprisingly, once started, it was easier than he thought it would be. At a quite early point you could already hear & feel how Sons Of Seasons would sound like.

The first singer, Tijs Vanneste, was found in summer 2007. Although Tijs proved to be a great musician, the bands’ future touring plans didn’t fit his tight working schedule. Still, in some of the songs of the debut album, you will find a couple of songs with parts inspired by his ideas.

Oliver met Henning Basse, the new and final vocalist, during a tour in Japan. Amazed by the singers’ outstanding live performance, Oliver got in contact with Henning at the end of 2007 and introduced him to his group. Henning immediately saw common musical ground and started contributing ideas.
