Teru's Symphonia is an esteemed progressive rock outfit hailing from Japan, revered for their intricate symphonic soundscapes and technical proficiency. The band was formed in the early 1980s by guitarist and chief composer Terutsugu Hirayama, who, after his initial stint with the pioneering Japanese progressive band Novela, sought to establish a more personal and elaborate musical vision. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Teru's Symphonia crafted a series of albums that effectively blended the grandiosity of classical music with the adventurous spirit of prog-rock, cementing their status as stalwarts of the genre in the Asian music scene.

In their more recent works, such as "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Camel?" and "Clockworked Earth," Teru's Symphonia continues to push the boundaries of their unique brand of progressive rock. They meld sophisticated arrangements and emotive melodies, often centered around Hirayama's virtuosic guitar work and the dramatic keyboards. With albums like "Fable On The Seven Pillows," the band entwines narrative and music, crafting concept albums that resonate with fans of the genre's classic era. "The Gate" is another testament to their ongoing creativity, showcasing their ability to evolve while maintaining the complex, layered instrumentation and rich, compositional craftsmanship that they have been known for over their prolific career.
