About Me |
|
| Alerion is best described as a Female Fronted Metal band with a Progressive Edge. We combine Female Fronted (or Gothic) vocals, with a guitar-oriented, heavy and melodic sound. This unusual combination of vocals and music gives birth to a sound that differs from most other female fronted or progressive metal bands. Our base is in Utrecht, The Netherlands.
Our demo album Fledgling was released online on August 25th, 2007, and has already recieved many extremely positive reviews and reactions. Fledgling can be downloaded from Alerion.nl . All our reviews and interviews are also listed on the website in the press section . Feel free to add our music to your profile. :) Alerion on the web: http://www.Alerion.nl - Official Alerion Website http://www.setbb.com/Alerion - Alerion's Official Forum http://www.last.fm/music/Alerion - Alerion on Last.fm http://alerion.hyves.net - Alerion on Hyves Some memorable quotes from the many reviews of Fledgling: "It is very clear that Alerion's basic approach is guitar-led, present in each track on the album. This isn't without variety, though, and there are certainly some obvious progressive elements along the way which makes for a very enjoyable and flowing listen. Hopefully with the new vocalist the band can explore and expand their style to fit her voice, and I do hope to hear more from this promising band soon!" - MetalMarketing.co.uk - April 14th, 2008. "And after four songs I know, that ALERION is something different and maybe even special in a way. It’s hard to compare them to any other band in the overfloaded metal scene. Which is good and it means that they’re one of a kind. Mix heavy metal with prog metal and add some female vocals to it. Shake this very well and add some chili for the powerful flavour. Voila, the ALERION taste is ready." - Metalmaidens.com - February 19th, 2008. "Clearly, Alerion is a promising young band with plenty of potential. With the right vocalist, their strong musicianship now affords them the opportunity to better define their sound." - Femmemetalwebzine.com - February 8th, 2008. "En effet les titres sont bien composés et complexes sans tomber dans le coté démonstratif et ennuyeux. Un groupe qui a du potentiel, on attend l'album!" - Desfillesetdesriffs.fr - October 25th, 2007. "Overall this disc does a very good job of showcasing the versatility of the band and the diversity of their "sound". They have a great marketing strategy and good tunes. Those attributes, coupled with their youth and enthusiasm give them an opportunity for a real career." - Hardrockhaven.net - October 12th, 2007. "They have the chops and just need a little work on the chemistry. Keep your eyes open for Alerion in the near future... " - Progressiverockbr.com - October 4th, 2007. 'Fledgling proves to be an excellent debut album recorded in only a short amount of time. Alerion is a band that should be checked out and closely watched.' - Desolatehope.com - October 1st, 2007. "This band deserves your attention. This cd so happens to be a grower, so live with it and you will reap the rewards!" - Ravenheart Music - September 20th, 2007. "This is a must listen and if the band continue to build on this mini album they are sure to go onto good things." - Rockandmetaldomain.co.uk - September 16th, 2007. "This is an amazing debut demo and really a band to keep in mind!" - Digital-Steel.com - September 1st, 2007. "Daarom geef ik Alerion ook een mooie score van 9/10 en we verwachten binnenkort zekerenvast een full album!!" - Ashladan.be - August 31st, 2007. Alerion banner code, free to use anywhere: |
