Valensia

A maximalist masterpiece of symphonic rock. Densely layered vocals, grand piano flourishes, and operatic ambition that feels like a lost 1970s art-rock epic.

It's like if Queen and ELO had a baby in a 90s Dutch studio and decided to make everything as epic as possible.

A triumphant and romantic celebration of musical theater and symphonic grandeur.

Moments Worth Waiting For

the explosive, multi-tracked vocal explosion at the climax of Gaia that rivals Bohemian Rhapsody in its ambition

the delicate interplay between Robby Valentine's grand piano and the soaring violin on T'Kylah

the transition from the eerie, atmospheric intro of Tere into its full symphonic rock glory
