With the release of their Shades Of Fate EP in late 2009, the five-piece from Nuremberg/Germany laid the foundation to establish a signature sound, boasting heavy guitars, atmospheric mellotron sounds and complex rhythmic patterns.

Singer Nicki's stunning range comprises crystal clear vocals as well as raw death metal growls; however, she also contributes flute sounds to the songs' more mellow moments. Effloresce's songs express emotions and mirror the band's technical capabilities without sacrificing musicality or listenability.

Effloresce are also a committed live band and manage to capture their songs' atmosphere, energy and depth just as much in front of audiences as in the studio. Speaking of which, Effloresce released their first full-length album Coma Ghosts in early 2012, which has been mixed and mastered by swedish legend Dan Swanö and received enthusiastic reviews by both the prog and the metal community.
