Winds (band)

Winds is a Norwegian progressive/neoclassical metal band formed in 1998. The music is largely influenced by classical music,^[1] with Andy Winter's piano work and Carl August Tidemann's guitar solos, often the central focuses. The lyrics are written by Winter, and deal mostly with astral and existentialist philosophy.
