‘State of Dystopia’ is a melodic metal band from the heart of Northern Savonia, Finland. The band originates from the city of Kuopio but has few members also from Iisalmi. Each member of the band has different and diverse musical tastes which are accounted and combined uniquely in band’s music.

The band was originally formed almost a decade ago by a group of friends sharing similar musical interests. At that point, the band was focused only on playing cover songs from various artists and resembles only vaguely the band it has become today. Over the years, the band started to incrementally write own material and look for its own unique sound. Due to several line-up changes at the same time, this process was, however, relatively slow. In late 2012, the final instrumental line-up was formed and active rehearsal of the songs began. Finally in 2014, the current vocalist joined and perfected the line-up of the band now known as ‘State of Dystopia’.
