<p>
THE MARS CHRONICLES is an Alternative/Post Metal band from France formed in January 2012.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Former guitarist, vocalist and composer Devy Diadema, from progressive rock band Opram recruited guitarist Yann Morvant (Lag I Run), bassist Sebastien Ollive (Opram) and drummer Morgan Berthet (Myrath, Frontal, Eyeless, Eths) to reach the perfect equation.</p>
<p>
The band created a massive yet atmospheric metal influenced by alternative rock, progressive rock/metal, technical death metal and groove metal. The music varies from complex and aggressive rhythmic to totally epic passages lead by intense melodic vocals.</p>
