ELYSION were founded in 2006 by guitarist Johnny Zero & by singer
Maxi Nil who, by welcoming on board talented musicians of different
backrounds, soon shaped up a highly promising team, with a music
approach consisting of many shades of atmospheric and metal elements
mixed with pop/rock formulas as well as alternative/electro and gothic
influences. Recording the demo right away, which was immediately elected
as "Demo of The Month" in Metal Hammer Magazine, ELYSION received
excellent criticism in webzines and magazines. Initial compliments
mentioned the exceptionally professional sound, which instantly had
matched European and American high standards.
Giving their first interview to Metalmare Magazine (GR), ELYSION right
from their very first months of active presence were hosted in numerous
columns and were interviewed for radio stations and TV music shows, all
this causing the music soon to spread and help them receive several
awards (one of them being Fillipos Nakas pop and rock awards 2006 for
best band). In the following time ELYSION, after many concerts, were
invited to headline in important rock and metal events and also had the
pleasure to support a great number of top artists of the scene, most
importantly The Gathering, Christian Death, Diary of Dreams, Star
Industry. In July 2008, ELYSION's frontwoman was honored to be invited
to join the stage with Moonspell in "Rock 'em All Festival" presenting
Pain of Salvation, Meshuggah, Lacuna Coil, Iced Earth, Venom and perform
as a guest singer by the side of Fernando Ribeiro.
Also in 2008 the band separated their paths with Maxi Nil under good
faith and Christianna was the next frontwoman. Then they entered the
studio for the recordings of the debut album, which achieves an
excellent sample of ELYSION's potential, soon attracted the attention of
numerous record labels, leading in signing up with Massacre Records. In
the next months ELYSION completed mixing and mastering of the album,
having the great privilege to work with America's top engineer Ted
Jensen (Madonna, Evanescence, Iron Maiden, Slipknot, Nickelback, Korn,
Marilyn Manson) and have their music mastered in his very owned Sterling
