Affiance, a melodic metalcore band hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, expertly combines the technicality of classic metal with the aggressive energy of metalcore, resulting in a sound that pays homage to NWOBHM while incorporating modern elements. Founded in 2007, the band's lineup consists of Dominic Dickinson, Patrick Galante, Cameron Keeter, Dennis Tvrdik, and Brett Wondrak. Signing with Bullet Tooth in 2010, Affiance released their debut album, "No Secret Revealed," followed by the Billboard-charting "The Campaign" in 2012, featuring guest vocals from notable figures in the metalcore scene. Their third full-length album, "Blackout," was released in 2014, accompanied by a new single, "Limitless," showcasing their dynamic musical style. Touring extensively, the band released a crowd-funded EP, "Gaia," in 2016, demonstrating their continued dedication to creating powerful and engaging music.
