Standing Ovation was founded in 2006. The project slowly developed, and in 2011 when their debut EP was voted the 3rd best self-released record in the Finnish Metal Awards, and was selected the band of the month by Finnish metal magazine Inferno, the group was already a sextet.

November will see the release of Standing Ovation's anticipated debut full-length which goes by the name "The Antikythera Mechanism". The album deals with the ancient, highly sophisticated machine and adds historical and science fiction elements.

Standing Ovation mixes genres skillfully, gluing everything together with a heavy, metallic touch and their own raw style. The band's strength is they don't really sound like any other band.

The Antikythera Mechanism is a must-hear for fans of progressive music with metal elements.
