The followers of Russian symphonic tradition, whose music combines powerful and enchanting mezzo-soprano, complex orchestrations and driving rhythm section, Revontulet is one of the most promising Symphonic Metal bands on the Russian metal scene.
The name "Revontulet" is a Finnish word meaning Northern Lights, literally "Fox Fire". There is a Finnish folk story: a fox in the north runs on the snow and sweeps its tail, so that sparks fly off into the sky. Moreover, in the old Finnish language there is a word resembling to the word "fox", but meaning "to make magic". Thus, Revontulet can be referred to as "Magic Lights" too.


After The Silence was found in 2000 and brings melodic hardrock with sympho / progressive / classic Rockinfluences, and among others even a little part of Gothic, although the music of After The Silence doesn't contain classical voices and the singer doesn't wear black dresses at all. In fact the music of After The Silence contains so many different styles, so their music can't be reduced to one single musical style. That's why the music probably speaks up to many people from different population groups and different ages. The music mainly surprises many people “live” every time in a very positive way. A lot of people think they have to do with just another ” Gothic band, and when ATS starts to play it’s very obvious that the band is not.
After The Silence shared their stage with acts like for example Corpse Candle, Xerpentor, Flesh Made Sin, Pluis &amp; de Struikrovers, Zone, Sanity, Moneypower, Wastelands, Purple Rainbow, the american progrock band “All Too Human”, the Dutch Gothic band “DELAIN” (from ex-Within Temptation keyboardplayer Martijn Westerholt), Icaros, Cutting Daisy, Antubis, Lágrima, Calibern, Hessa, Firefly, Shagging Ponies, The Loo, Dutch band Kingfisher Sky (with ex-Within Temptation drummer Ivar the Graaf) and many others
