Tragika is orchestral metal band started by Shane Krout and Jessica Grinspan in early 2006. Influenced by modern European symphonic-rock bands, including Nightwish, Lacuna Coil and Within Temptation, Tragika features rich, intricate melodies with driving rhythms, heavy guitars adorned with complex strings, and classical female vocals to highlight chilling gothic themes.
With Jessica on vocals, Shane on bass, vocals, and keys, Ryan Cooper on guitars, and Corey Willard on drums, Tragika covers ground that few other bands in the area cover.
