Metal De Facto

Based on verified information, here's a friendly bio for Metal De Facto:

Metal De Facto is a killer Finnish power metal band that stormed onto the scene around 2018/2019. The band features familiar faces from the Finnish metal scene, including Ensiferum members Sami Hinkka (bass) and Mikko Salovaara (guitar), alongside guitarist Esa Orjatsalo (ex-Requiem, ex-Otaku), keyboardist Benji Connelly (ex-Evergrey touring), and drummer Atte Marttinen (ex-Frosttide). They kicked things off with their debut album "Imperium Romanum" in 2019, unleashed via Rockshots Records, which was packed with epic tales from the Roman Empire (fitting tracks like "Legionnaires' Oaths," "Bacchanalia," and "Imperium Romanum").

Known for their soaring melodies, powerful vocals, and bombastic sound, the band later showcased a thematic shift, turning their epic storytelling towards Japanese history and mythology. This new direction is evident on singles like the two-part "Land Of The Rising Sun" and tracks like "Rise Amaterasu" and "Code Of The Samurai." They keep delivering high-energy power metal anthems like "Lake Bodom" and "Tame The Steel," solidifying their place as a force in the modern power metal landscape.
