Ambient, “wall-of-sound” landscapes, with a focus on melodic atmospheres, yet with a solid groove. The music and lyrics inspired by life as a being facing inner conflict and turmoil, haunted by numerous emotions that never will be laid to rest.

SYLVAINE is the outlet for multi-instrumentalist Kathrine Shepard who provides vocals, guitar, bass, synths, and arrangements. Shepard’s ethereal voice elevates the record’s dreamy aura, enchanting the listener with its heavenly darkness. SYLVAINE solidifies its place at the apex of the atmospheric metal pantheon with their brand new full-length, ‘Nova,’ released in March 2022 via Season of Mist Records.
