Lyriel are a German Folk metal band who formed in autumn of 2003 in Gummersbach.

History

The band's lineup remains unchanged since their formation. Lyriel played as opening act for bands such as Elis, Visions of Atlantis, Regicide, Xandria, Schandmaul, Corvus Corax, Saltatio Mortis, Oomph, Schelmish, Korpiklaani and Mannfred Mann's Earth Band.

In 2005 they toured Germany, Austria and Belgium with Elis and Visions of Atlantis, in February 2006 Lyriel played on the “Romantic Darkness Tour“ together with Regicide and Xandria. Moreover they played on the Celtic Rock Festival at Greifenstein castle in Hesse. A video was released of the show.

tyle and influences

The septet designate their music "Dark Romantic Celtic Rock". Lyriel's repertoire ranges from medievally inspired ballads to hard rock pieces with elements of Classic and Folk music. Thereby they stay within a triangle shaped by classic Folk, Nightwish and Blackmore's Night.

It is notable that classical string instruments, unlike as with most other bands of the genre, are played live on stage.

Discography

Albums

The first studio album "Prisonworld" was released on 17 January 2005. Especially notable is the song "Lind e-huil" which is sung in Sindarin, the fictional Elvish language created by J. R. R. Tolkien.

Their second studio album "Autumntales" was published on 29 September 2006. It continues the band's style and among other songs contains a cover version of Hijo de la Luna.

DVD

On 15 December 2005 the DVD "Live auf Burg Greifenstein" (Live on Greifenstein Castle) was released with events of the 3rd Celtic Rock Open Air festival.
