Still Remains avoid sounding like every similar young band in their chosen style by prominently using synthesizers alongside unison-riff guitars. Their music has a strong similarity to European symphonic power metal acts such as Nightwish, giving them a strong following both on the Continent and North America. Still Remains formed in 2002 and, following a self-released EP debut, 2003's Dying with a Smile, made their full-length debut with 2004's If Love Was Born to Die. Roadrunner issued the group's 2005 effort, Of Love and Lunacy, and after extensive tours in Europe and the United States, Still Remains worked with producer Steve Evetts to record their second studio album, 2007's The Serpent. ~ Stewart Mason
