Stream Of Passion

Stream Of Passion Is A Gothic Progressive Metal Band With Symphonic Metal Influence Founded By Arjen Anthony Lucassen And Marcela Bovio In 2005 In The Netherlands. It All Started With Ayreon's Frontman Arjen Anthony Lucassen Being Impressed By A Recording He Received From Marcela Bovio The Lead Singer Of Elfonía. She Had Joined A Contest For Guest Artists On The New Ayreon Album. She Won This Competition And Can Be Heard On Ayreon's The Human Equation Singing The Part "Wife". Arjen Wanted To Create More Music With Marcela After The Ayreon Album Was Finished So He Created A New Band. Arjen Also Selected Lori Linstruth Johan Van Stratum Davy Mickers And Alejandro Millán And Started Stream Of Passion. Their First Release Was Embrace The Storm. Because The Members Lived Thousand Of Miles Apart The Netherlands Sweden And Mexico The Album Was Mostly Written Over The Internet. For The Following Tour Marcela Brought Her Sister Diana Bovio As Background Singer. Diana Also Appeared On The Single Out In The Real World And The Live CD/DVD Live In The Real World. On 4 March 2007 Arjen Said In An Interview On His Website That He Was Going To Quit The Band Because I Will Be Fully Concentrating On The New Ayreon For At Least The Next Year I Have No More Time For SoP So I Quit The Band. It Would Be Unfair To Have Them Wait Until I'm Ready Especially Now Things Are Going So Well For SoP. Arjen Also Stated That SoP Would Continue Without Him. A Few Days Later A Message On The Stream Of Passion Website Said That Lori And Alejandro Also Had Decided To Leave The Band And Focus On Their Own Personal Lives And Musical Projects. The Message On The Website Stated That This Is Not The End Of The Band And The Remaining Members Are Already Busy Writing Music For A New Album.
