1. The origins of Narsilio… Read Full Bio ↴There are multiple bands named Narsilion.
1. The origins of Narsilion date back to 1999, when Sathorys Elenorth started solo project blending traditional medieval fantasy with neoclassical music, inspired by sadness, loneliness and nature. In 2000, Sathorys recorded his first demo called “Lacrima Profundere”, which was soon followed by two others, “Ancient Medieval Times” and “Autumnal Caress”.
Lady Nott then joined the band, who was at that time playing the violin and providing vocals for the band Gotlethe and Nocturn. It was at this time that the band was named Aranmanoth.
In 2002 Aranmanoth merged with Trobar de Morte, Lady Morte’s solo project, and was renamed Ordo Funebris. Ordo Funebris released one demo and two studio albums through Drama Company before disbanding.
In September 2003, Lady Nott and Sathorys Elenorth returned to their former project, and took the name Narsilion, an elven word that means “the song of the moon and the sun”, from Tolkien's "The Silmarillion".
In December 2003 Sathorys (voice, keyboards, percussion and classical guitar) and Lady Nott (voice, violin and recorder) recorded their first demo, "Return To The Silver Forest", at Maxim Sound Studios in Barcelona, Spain. The demo was 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 elves, fairies and other beautiful creatures dance at the sound of unclosed legends, told under the gentle gaze of Mother Earth.."
On March 7th 2004, the band released a demo on their own label “Earendil Records”, receiving enthusiastic reviews from the public and press alike. This demo led to the band being signed by Caustic Records in Vitoria-Gasteiz. The band returned to the studio to record their first full-length album, “Nerbeleth” (an elven word that means “nightfall” or “sunset”).
During the recording “Nerbeleth”, Dark Wind (flutes) joined the band, first as a session player and later as a full time member. In October 2004 “Nerbeleth” was officially released. The album was a critical success nationally and internationally.
Narsilion then toured in support of the album around Spain, sharing bill with such bands as Gor and Morpheus amongst others.
Between August and December 2005, Narsilion returned to the studio, and in May 2006, they released their sophomore album, Arcadia. This album was also well-received by the critics, even receiving 10/10 from Orkut magazine. Arcadia raised the band's profile, allowing them to share the bill with bands like Dark Sanctuary while touring.
In January 2007, Narsilion received an offer from Ars Musica Diffundere/Black Rain Records in Germany to promote their third album and in August 2007, the band entered the studio again to record Namárië. In November, Dark Wind left the band for personal reasons.
Lady Nott and Sathorys have since adapted their songs to accommodate the new line-up.
2. Narsilion was a melodic death metal band from Richmond, Virginia. They released one album called The Hate Lay Hidden in 2002 before breaking up.
A Night in Fairyland
Narsilion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the stars shine in silence
The Magic of the woods
Fly across the sad trees...
Is time to dream forever...
In the night of silver tears...
In the distance
You voice will be listen
Rise your eyes
to the faeryland realm
Is time to sing...in the land of dreams...
Dance in the woods
Under the mistical moon
feel the embrace
Of the mother earth...
Is time to sing...in the land of dreams...
Is time to cry...for the lost innocence...
Beyond the old forest
A magic secret garden
Live enchanted
For you
Look at the mirror of your heart
And walk behind the gates
Of the eternal morning...
Forever...
In the distance
Your voice will be listen
Rise your eyes
to the faeryland realm
Is time to sing...in the land of dreams...
Is time to cry...for the lost innocence...
The lyrics of Narsilion's "A Night in Fairyland" capture the mystical and enchanting experience of entering a magical world, where dream and reality blend together. The song describes a night when the stars are shining in silence and the magic of the woods is flying across the trees. It is a time to dream forever and to enter the night of silver tears, a world where the unreal becomes real. The music creates an ethereal and hypnotic atmosphere, and the lyrics invite the listener to embark on a journey through a land of wonders.
As the song continues, the voice of the singer becomes a call to enter the realm of faeryland. It is time to sing in the land of dreams and dance under the mystical moon. The embrace of mother earth is felt as a warm and loving presence. The lyrics also touch on the theme of lost innocence and the need to cry for it. Despite these melancholic reflections, the song is a celebration of the beauty of the magical world and the possibility of entering it.
