Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

'''Sinergy''' was a Finnish/Swedish [[Heavy metal music|heavy metal]] band started in 1997 by American musician [[Kimberly Goss]]. The idea for a "balls-out female-fronted metal band" was first formed when Kimberly Goss of [[Dimmu Borgir]] met [[Jesper Strömblad]] of [[In Flames]] whilst on tour in 1997.

Lillman's death in February 2012, and Laiho's death and Hietala's departure from the public eye both announced in January 2021, put an end to the possibility of Sinergy ever reuniting.

==History==
Sinergy formed when the then [[Dimmu Borgir]] keyboard player [[Kimberly Goss]] met with [[In Flames]] guitarist [[Jesper Strömblad]] during a joint world tour. They discussed the idea of assembling a female-fronted [[Heavy metal music|metal]] band, but were unable to achieve this due to time constraints.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.last.fm/music/Sinergy/+wiki |title=Sinergy's Biography – Discover music, videos, concerts, stats, & pictures at |publisher=Last.fm |date=11 February 2009 |access-date=10 July 2011))</ref>

When Kimberly quit Dimmu Borgir and moved to Sweden, she decided that it was time to turn her project with Strömblad into a reality. The first incarnation of Sinergy was composed of them, bassist [[Sharlee D'Angelo]] (from [[Arch Enemy]] and [[Mercyful Fate]]), drummer Ronny Milianowicz and guitarist [[Alexi Laiho]] (from [[Children of Bodom]]).

The debut album ''[[Beware the Heavens]]'' was recorded in 1999 and had a basic concept: returning to the essence of woman-fronted metal bands, throwing aside the operatic elements introduced in the '90s, and bringing back the style of singers such as [[Doro (musician)|Doro Pesch]] (from Doro and [[Warlock (band)|Warlock]]).

The album sold rather well and was received with excitement by European [[Heavy metal subculture|metal fans]], but Sinergy was facing serious problems when it came to managing the time its members spent with their main bands. To complicate matters further, Kimberly moved to Finland by the end of the same year, making it difficult for them to meet regularly, with three of the band members residing in Sweden.

Thus, the band was essentially dissolved, but Kimberly and Alexi wanted to continue with the project. They assembled a new line-up, composed of Finnish members only. [[Roope Latvala]] (founding member of [[Stone (band)|Stone]], one of the bands which started the heavy metal movement in Finland) assumed the position of rhythm guitarist, [[Marko Hietala]] (from [[Tarot (band)|Tarot]]) became the bassist and [[Tonmi Lillman]] was chosen as the new drummer. 

This line-up recorded ''[[To Hell and Back (album)|To Hell and Back]]'' and subsequently toured with [[Nightwish]]. By that time, Sinergy was starting to receive world recognition. This tour was included on Nightwish's DVD release of ''[[From Wishes to Eternity]]'', during which band members played a practical joke in which a selection of support musicians made their way on stage pretending to be Nightwish. Marko Hietala filled the role of Nightwish's bassist Sami, who he was to replace on their next album.

Soon after the recording of the third album Lillman left the band. He was soon replaced by [[Barathrum]] drummer [[Janne Parviainen]]. Bassist Marko left the band shortly after, presumably due to his Nightwish commitments. The position was eventually given to [[Lauri Porra]] from the metal band [[Warmen]].

A fourth Sinergy album, ''Sins of the Past'', began production in 2004, but due to Children of Bodom's busy schedule, the album was never completed. In 2007 Roope Latvala performed a song with bassist Lauri Porra and drummer Janne Parviainen for the album "Guitar Heroes" featuring some of Finland's leading guitarists. Latvala stated that he had originally written the song for ''Sins of the Past''.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://bravewords.com/news/sinergy-laid-to-rest|title=SINERGY - Laid To Rest?|website=Bravewords.com|access-date=22 March 2020))</ref> According to Laiho, Sinergy has disbanded and is no longer an active music project.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/interviews/interviews/children_of_bodom_doing_stupid-ass_covers_is_one_of_our_favorite_hobbies.html |title=Children Of Bodom: 'Doing Stupid-Ass Covers Is One Of Our Favorite Hobbies' &#124; Interviews at |publisher=Ultimate-guitar.com |access-date=10 July 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111228065644/http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/interviews/interviews/children_of_bodom_doing_stupid-ass_covers_is_one_of_our_favorite_hobbies.html |archive-date=28 December 2011 ))</ref>
