Visual Symphonia is what happens when two worlds collide — in the best possible way. We’re Patrick Samuel and Hakon X, a dark rock duo that came together in 2023, both with backgrounds that stretch across cultures and music.
It’s not just the music that brought us together, though; it’s the love for pushing boundaries and exploring something deeper.
Patrick’s been doing this for a while as a solo artist, releasing music through Tiergarten Records since 2019. His sound has always been emotionally raw and layered, and now with Visual Symphonia, those elements continue to grow and evolve.
Hakon adds his own flavour, not just with bass and production, but also through his passion as a visual artist. Together, we create something bigger than ourselves as a band.
Our sound is shaped by both Indian-Carribean and European influences, creating music that feels like a journey between worlds. You’ll hear that blend in FIRE + RAIN — this is dark rock, but it’s not afraid to reach beyond the genre.
Supported by Musica Nostrum, we’re embarking on an ambitious release schedule, with three original albums slated until the end of 2025.
Our debut album, FIRE + RAIN, introduces you to our electrifying take on dark rock, blending haunting melodies with raw, powerful instrumentation and Patrick’s steep vocal range.
Following that, Phantom Limbs will explore the gritty, angular sounds of post-punk, offering a stark contrast to our debut.
Finally, Voodoo will see us diving into a nostalgic yet innovative mix of blues, Americana, rockabilly, doo-wop, and classic rock ‘n’ roll, reinterpreting these genres through our distinct lenses.
With each release, we aim to challenge the conventional, offering a fresh perspective on what it means to create music in the 21st century.
Our journey is just beginning, and we’re excited to see where it takes us—and hopefully, you’ll come along for the ride.
