About

Stream of Passion is a Dutch progressive metal band with symphonic and gothic influences founded by guitarist and composer Arjen Anthony Lucassen and Mexican singer, violinist, and lyricist Marcela Bovio. They have released four studio albums.

The band was founded with Lucassen intending on leaving early on to focus on other projects, which he did in 2007 alongside guitarist Lori Linstruth, and keyboardist Alejandro Millán; Bovio, bassist Johan van Stratum and producer Joost van den Broek handled composition duties afterwards. After keeping a steady line-up since 2009, the band announced in April 2016 that they would disband, wanting to end on a high note rather than letting the interest and inspiration fade away, after a live album entitled Memento and a final show on 28 December 2016; they reformed with the same line-up in 2022, releasing an EP of original material the next year.
