Skylene: The Band Redefining Melodic Metalcore from the Heart of Hawaii

Began in 2011, Skylene are perfecting their sound for more than 10 years, making one thing equally familiar and unique to metal lovers. It is just like finding somebody new who gets you.
But what really separates Skylene from the rest of the metalcore bands isn’t their crazy talent or their genre – fitting abilities.

It is that versatility which makes the music hit you right in the feels. Cole Strona, bassist, holds everything together in ways that only somebody who receives the soul of music can. Julian Bozzelli is on guitar, but he is telling stories with each riff and chord.
