about

Satinoxide is a Dutch progressive death metal band from Middelburg, the Netherlands. Founding members are Oscar Postema (vocals, piano and synths), Martijn van der Bliek (electric and acoustic guitars) and Marloes Matthijssen (piano and synths). Satinoxide creates transcendental metal: progressive metal with lots of different influences. Transcending genre, inspired by spirituality. The band name was invented by Martijn, combining the words ‘satin’ and ‘oxidation’. An apt moniker for the music they make: lush compositions fused with brutal metal. Satin Oxide also happens to be a range of cheap American hair products with added silicones. Satinoxide is the new incarnation of the symphonic metal band Cassiopeia, in which Oscar, Martijn and Marloes already made music together. Friends Oscar and Martijn go back a long way: in 1996 they started to write songs under the name of Tremor, which was later changed into Cassiopeia. Marloes joined the band in 1999, to take over the synths from Oscar so he could focus on vocals and performance. Cassiopeia released two (demo) cd’s and performed alongside bands like After Forever, Horizon, Within Temptation, Oceans of Sadness and Tristania. The band loved to shock the metal audience by wearing glitter outfits and blending different styles together. In 2002, guitar player Ad Sluijter and drummer Jeroen Simons left the band to join gothic metal band Epica. Cassiopeia continued for a while with new musicians, but more and more as a project
