A dark progressive metal band from Montréal, Howling Syn first started as a solo project by Patryk Pigeon (music, lyrics, vocals, guitars, bass, programming) in 1998. After many attempts as singer, guitarist and bassist with different hard rock/metal bands from the late 80s until 1997, he found some interest for gothic, thrash and progressive music.
In fall 1999, Sophie LeMay (lyrics, vocals, flute) joined Patryk to write some lyrics and, later, to fill his music with her angelic voice that turned out to be a major asset to the whole music.
In January 2000, the members of Howling Syn decided to release their music on MP3.com. When the website closed, they had had more than 170,000 visitors and 430,000 listens and downloads, all this without any outside promotion and while remaining an independent band.
2002 Forebearers of Dusk, the first full album, was released on Galy Records.
2003 Howling Syn opened for Lacuna Coil at the end of September in Montréal, captivating a new crowd as well as fans of both bands.
2004 Devilries, the second full album, was released on Swedish label Escapi Music.
2005 Howling Syn played the New England Metalfest, in the US, with bands such as King Diamond, Dark Tranquillity, Danzig, Hypocrisy, Behemoth, Sonata Arctica and many more.
In October 2006, Howling Syn were part of the two biggest Halloween events in Québec, The Grand Masquerade and Le Grand Bal des Vampires, a first for a local metal band. Only in Montréal, the band played for 50,000 people!
They have now finished the recording of new material for their third release, which takes root in the best elements from their two previous releases, with a heavier, more progressive sound and, of course, some diabolical melodies. The band also welcomed guest performances by Jean-Marc Pisapia (singer from the cult 80s band The Box), Gaby Koss (ex-Haggard vocalist) and Maggy Durand (Cryptopsy).
Howling Syn is seeking a new label home to help them reach all the SYNNERS out there! Another dark story to be continued!!!

I am a kind word uttered and repeated by the voice of nature; I am a star fallen from the blue tent upon the green carpet. I am the daughter of the elements with whom winter conceived; To whom Spring gave birth; I was reared in the lap of Summer and I slept in the bed of Autumn.
At dawn I unite with the breeze to announce the coming of light; At eventide I join the birds in bidding the light farewell.
The plains are decorated with my beautiful colours, And the air is scented with my fragrance.
As I embrace slumber the eyes of night watch over me, And as I awaken I stare at the sun, Which is the only eye of the day.
I drink dew for wine, and harken to the voices of the birds, And dance to the rhythmic swaying of the grass.
I am the lover's gift; I am the wedding wreath; I am the memory of a moment of happiness; I am the last gift of the living to the dead; I am a part of joy and a part of sorrow.
But I look up high to see only the light, And never look down to see my shadow. This is wisdom which man must learn.
