Adagio is a French progressive/symphonic metal band. Stephan Forté, the band's guitarist, is considered the creative force behind Adagio. Adagio's music is characterized by technical precision, dark, dense orchestration, complex lead work, and a driving rhythm section. However, on the group's latest effort, Dominate, they have added death grunts to their sound. The band has finished the pre-production of their 4th album, Archangels in Black. The album will feature nine songs plus one Japanese bonus. According the the band's website the "compositions are the ultimate between melodic and extreme metal, and can be considered as a more brutal version of Underworld." They are due to record in December.
