Borealis (New Songs Posted!)

About Me

Borealis is a 4 piece melodic/power metal band from Orangeville, Ontario. Together and writing since October 2005 with Matt Marinelli on guitar and vocals, Sean Werlick on the keyboards, Jamie Smith on bass, and Sean Dowell on drums, these highschool friends have built a sound and show worthy of the greatest audiences. Being fresh out of the studio, and with their brand new full length album 'World of Silence' ready to be released in the beginning of summer, Borealis is ready to spread their music as far as possible, and beyond! Combining elements of power, melodic, and symphonic metal into one, they have created a sound that is all their own. Borealis has played with bands such as SONATA ARCTICA, KAMELOT, EDGUY and EPICA, among other amazing acts. We would like to thank all of our fans, especially those who have been there since the beginning, for your continued support. See you on the road!!
