Narsilion
 |
The beginnings of Narsilion music date back to year 1999, when Sathorys Elenorth starts out a solo project where the fantastic side of medieval tradition blends with neoclassical parts inspired by sadness, loneliness and nature as essential milestones... Not much later, in year 2000, Sathorys Elenorts records his first demo with the name “Lacrima Profundere”, to which two more demos follow: “Ancient medieval times” and “Atumnal caress”...
It’s then when Lady Nott, who on those times was playing violin and singing in the bands Gotlethe and Nocturn, joins this project carrying with her all her art and dedication to the band that would become, named by both of them, Aranmanoth. It’s year 2002 when Aranmanoth comes to an end when they merge with Trobar de Morte, Lady Morte’s solo project, and they take a new musical journey together under the name of Ordo Funebris. After releasing a demo and two albums with international distribution on Drama Company, the band resolves to end their path and not much later they split up. It’s then, in September 2003, when Lady Nott and Sathorys Elenorth undertake again their former solo project picking up again the essence one day shined in their hearts and, as a result from this new stage, they create a new sunrise for their next works under the name of NARSILION, an elfic word that means “the song of the moon and the sun”...
In December 2003 Sathorys Elenorth (voice, keyboards, percussion and classical guitar) and Lady Nott (voice, violin and recorder) enter Maxim Sound Studios in Barcelona, Spain, to set about recording their first demo entitled “Return to the silver forest”, inspired by the night’s embrace... beyond those dreams one day made us feel magic in a world filled with deep and enchanted woods... where elfs, fairies and other beautiful creatures dance at the sound of unclosed legends, told under the gentle gaze of Mother Earth... On March 7th of 2004, the band self-releases a demo with their own label “Earendil Records”, receiving enthusiastic reviews from the public and the music press alike and it allows them to get their first deal with Caustic Records in Vitoria-Gasteiz. After signing with Caustic, the band moves down to studios again to give shape to their first full-length album entitled “Nerbeleth” (an elfic word that means “nightfall” or “sunset”...).
During the recording process of “Nerbeleth”, Dark Wind (flutes) joins the band, first as a session player and later as a full time member. In October 2004 “Nerbeleth” is officially released and it becomes an event on the main specialized-music press and other media that receive with praise the new album both in national and international levels. After this, Narsilion set off to play their work on stage supporting the album in several places both in and out of Catalan territory, sharing bill with such bands as Gor (Ataraxia’s percussionist project) and Morpheus amongst others...
Currently, Narsilion are about to give life to their second album that will be called “Arcadia”, a mystic land filled with ancient woods and deep lakes dreamed by the Mother Moon’s embrace, where the winds dance close to their memories and the sunrises cry endlessly like golden tears shed in the middle of the autumnal hug... It’s time to dream forever... In the land of the silver tears... Narsilion...  |
