The Provenance was a Swedish band that delved into the realms of Gothic metal, fusing it with progressive rock and melodic death metal influences. Emerging from the city of Gothenburg, a place renowned for its vibrant metal scene, the band was known for their unique sound that blended heavy guitars with the haunting beauty of both male and female vocals. The dual vocals were a standout feature—Emma Hellström's emotive voice provided a striking contrast to Tobias Martinsson's more aggressive style, which set The Provenance apart from their contemporaries in the metal genre.

Throughout their career, The Provenance didn't shy away from experimentation, pushing the boundaries of their sound with each release. Albums like "How Would You Like to Be Spat At" and "Still At Arms Length" stand as testaments to their ability to combine the melancholic with the visceral. Their last known offering, "25th Hour; Bleeding," showcased a matured craftsmanship that encapsulated their exploration of dark and emotive soundscapes with introspective lyrics. Although the band is no longer active, their music continues to resonate with fans of the genre, leaving a legacy of being among the innovative forces in the Swedish metal scene during their time.
