Benighted Soul is a French symphonic/progressive metal band, formed in 2003. They play a brand of symphonic metal mixed with strong elements of prog and occasional power elements, mixing together melodic vocal sections, heavy riffs and intense atmospheres. They released a couple demos in 2003 and 2005, but after some major lineup changes they went through a bit of a restart in 2007, leading to the release of their EP Anesidora in 2008. This EP was very successful for the band, so they continued along the same direction and released a full length album in 2011, titled Start From Scratch. This was a concept album, revolving around a doll girl named Anesidora, portrayed by lead singer Géraldine Gadaut. On October 27th, 2014, the band is releasing their second album Kenotic, which is also being labeled as a concept album.
