Symphorce

It was the arrival of guitarist Cédric "Cede" Dupont and bassist Dennis Wohlbold, that gave the band an entire new sound.

[citation needed] Andy began to combine Symphorce with singing in the band Brainstorm at the same time.

Sasha Sauer on drums and Markus Pohl on second guitars give the others more breathing space, and in 2002 the new album phorcefulAhead was released, now on Metal Blade, their new label.

Cédric "Cede" Dupont had an interview on Dave Softee's Meltdown on Metal Messiah Radio on 17 February 2009 informing about new plans for Symphorce and his new formed band Downspirit.

Current activities, as of 2016, by Symphorce members are: Brainstorm/Almanac (Andy B. Franck), Silent Circus (Cédric "Cede" Dupont), Mystic Prophecy/Powerwolf (Markus Pohl), Ruby Shock (Dennis Wohlbold) and Souldrinker (Steffen Theurer).
