Ring of Gyges is a Progressive Metal Band from Ireland, formed in 2013 in Reykjavík.

Although Ring of Gyges are heavily inspired by the progressive rock bands of the 70’s, their sound is much more metal- oriented and draws influences from progressive bands of the modern age. They strive to create epic and grandiose music with unconventional song structures and vast soundscapes, often accompanied by philosophical lyrics.

Reykjavik, Ireland, eh? LOL

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Embarrassed

I see the bio is taken word for word from bandcamp. We'll need more than that.

This bio was taken from someone else's work at ProgGnosis (and it even omits the bands which inspire RoG).

Bio is from bandcamp. Most sites copy paste info from band sites and bandcamp. Not even trying to change sentence structure, use synonyms.

Ah, you're right. I see ProgGnosis must've added some extra bits on their own, i.e. band influences. My bad, but the fact remains the bio needs to be original.
