About Dream Map
Our Story
Dream Map is a symphonic metal band formed in 2019, featuring Dutch vocalist Vivian Franken, Hungarian composer and multi-instrumentalist Norbert Gobor, and bassist/vocalist Bart Van Voorden. Our music blends symphonic elements with heavy metal, creating a rich and immersive sound that takes listeners on epic musical journeys.
The band's origins trace back to Norbert's previous project, Symphonic Destiny, which disbanded in 2016. When Vivian and Norbert met, they decided to rework and enhance these compositions, leading to the creation of our debut album "The Other Side", released on May 21, 2021.
