Artist description Soma is self described as an ambient-progressive-alternative rock band and has been rendered by ColumbusMusic.com as “the fusion of Opera Metal, R&B, and Alternative Rock”. Soma is half defined with the tight rhythm section of Matt and Marcus Wilson and the smooth ambient textures of Justin Roth’s keyboards. The other half consist of the aggressive metal driven guitars of Brian Hughes and the passion ridden eloquence of John Black’s voice.
