We are Solarcycles! A symphonic folk metal band from the Netherlands formed in 2015. With our music we explicitly critique the destruction of our planet, and encourage a renewed union between humankind and nature.
We've also worked hard on creating a magical world for the listener where one's deepest and darkest emotions can find acceptance, as it’s an inevitable part of one's existence in nature. Lyrical themes also include paganism and ancient esoteric religious movements.
Late 2017, we released our first and self-produced EP ''Ethereal Storms'' which has been received with huge enthusiasm and acclaimed by the critic both nationally and internationally. Currently, we're ready to start a new journey with the release of our first full length album “LUNAR” on 27 OCT 2023.
If you're looking for heavy melodic music and a community that fights for nature, you're in the right place! A place where past and present come together, for those seeking comfort in heavy music and nature.

About us:
Solarcycles is a Dutch symphonic folk metal band. Solarcycles is known for their melancholic sound and profound lyrics that focus on emotions, hidden knowledge, and the connection between humanity and nature.
Their music combines the darkness of metal with symphonic and traditional folk elements, resulting in a sound reminiscent of bands like Children of Bodom and Within Temptation. The release of their debut album "Lunar" on October 27, 2023 marks a new chapter for the band, leading listeners into a magical realm of acceptance and unity.
Lyrics:
I am the river
Hide
Glance in the fire light
Clay and stones laid down on me
Undying pain for my soul to keep
Where's a road through sorrow
There's a way to hope
Will I find you?
Or will I be lost?
I can see stars are falling
How I'll know what's right?
Let me hold your hand in darkness
Watching rivers of light
I hope the light turns true
And answers me as well as you
When the black birds come
And show me the way
True is the path
While matter decays
Still the rain keeps pouring
In this longest night
Do the answers lie
In the rivers of light?
I can see stars are falling
How I'll know what's right?
Let me hold your hand in darkness
Watching rivers of light
I dream of landscapes
As mirrors of souls
United and untamed
I dream of forests
As temples of love
It dwells amongst the haze
I feel like sun and moon
Like fire and water
Everything coheres
I feel like mountains
Storms and light
Achieving to be free
I see slopes with grass
Gold and waving
All that lies below
I see your eyes with mine
Beyond pain
Together we ascent

🤗🤘🏼Thank you so much! That's beautiful💪❤😊
🤩 great song!
Thank you very much 😇
This video popped up in my recommendations and man, I am glad it did. It so rare to find a band with a truly unique sound. This song led me to check out their other works and in less than 24 hours I had downloaded both albums and have them on heavy repeat! Trying to describe their sound is difficult. Its like someone took a bit of Blackbriar, a bit of Eluveitie, and just a dash of Florence and the Machine and mixed them all together! I especially love the violin parts and the keyboards! Keep up the awesome work and I hope for many more albums in the future. Your newest fan in the US!
❤❤❤Thank you so much for your kind words.🤗🤘🏼We love your comment.❤😇 Greetings from the Netherlands.
Wow!
Thank you😊🤘🏼
On the whole they're good, but I wish they would get past the Death Metal growls. Power Metal could lose all of that AFAIAC.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! We appreciate all feedback as it helps us grow. Our music blends a variety of genres as we have many influences and we just love exploring different elements, including the occasional growls to create a diverse sound. We're glad you're enjoying our overall sound and hope you'll find more songs that you love in our collection. There's plenty of them without growls for you! ^^
Brutal!😎
Thank you🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Awesome
Thank you😊🤘🏼
This is Rivers of Light by SOLARCYCLES!!!
Yes indeed😊🤘🏼

Thank you
❤️🔥🤘🤘Flores de vocês!!
😊🤘🏼❤
This song meminds me a bit of some of Devin Townsend's recent solo albums with Anneke van Giersbergen- elements of extreme metal and symphonic rock. The folky twist is nice.
It's always very interesting to read what bands/artists we are compared to.😉🤘🏼 Thank you
This is so 90s doom-symphonic! I just love it! I need more of this!
Thank you! That's wonderful 😊❤🤘🏼
Wow, this song is amazing. As always.
Thank you very much❤
Can't wait! Great music and beautiful landscapes...what else can we ask for? 🤘👏👏
