Dreamtale, a Finnish power/symphonic metal band from Tampere, was founded in 1999 by guitarist Rami Keränen. The band initially gained attention as a supporting act for Sinergy and released their first demo, Shadow of the Frozen Sun, in August 1999. Their second demo, Refuge From Reality, sold out on its release day, with most copies sold in Japan, which helped them gain international recognition. In August 2001, Dreamtale signed a deal with Spinefarm Records and began recording their debut album, Beyond Reality, released in June 2002 in Japan and July elsewhere. The album featured new vocalist Tomi Viiltola after Keränen stepped down from vocals. Following the release of Ocean's Heart in September 2003, Dreamtale continued to evolve with lineup changes, including the departure of keyboardist Turkka Vuorinen in 2006 and bassist Pasi Ristolainen in late 2008. The band released their fifth album, Epsilon, in April 2011 through Secret Door Records, marking the return of original drummer Petteri Rosenbom. Their sixth studio album, World Changed Forever, was released on April 26, 2013. Dreamtale's seventh studio album, Seventhian... Memories of Time, was released in December 9, 2016.
