Sound Horizon

Sound Horizon (サウンドホライズン), abbreviated by fans as Sanhora (サンホラ), is a Japanese musical group with composer Revo as the leader. They call themselves the 'fantasy band (幻想楽団).'

Their music is generally in omnibus style; an album contains multiple stories with different themes that create one long, big story. Soprano or mezzo-soprano vocals are mainly utilized. Usage of narration is not restrained. Strong anime influences and applications are apparent in their music; they have started inviting seiyuu for narration after their major debut. Their lyrics are very often mysterious and metaphorical, even more so than those of other J-rock musicians, with themes varying from fantastic themes like ancient curse, legend, dream, war, paradise to forbidden lust, longing, obsession, crime, relationship, etc.
