This big amount of media attention led the band, while still very young, to hit the road for some well-received live gigs at prestigious venues such as « La Boule Noire » or « La Scène Bastille » in Paris. Elyose shows drew strong attention and developed a solid core of loyal and passionate fans.
2010 was devoted to writing new material and refining the line-up. By December, drummer Patrick Cazu joined the band, and Elyose worked hard over 6 month from January 2011 to finalize its debut album. In May, Elyose played again at « La Scène Bastille » and toured in Belgium.
In the month of July, during 5 weeks, the band recorded and self-produced its debut album « Théogyne » at Piste Rouge Studio in Brussels. This record gets off the beaten track offering metal music that is difficult to classify, which combines classical arrangements and electronics. Enchanting, mischievous atmospheres and heavy incisive guitar riffs follow on from each other. A strong portion of the lyrical work is done in sensuous French, sung by Justine whose vocals are mainly operatic, sometimes soaring, sometimes distilled in a shivering breath.
At the end of 2011, Elyose recruited their last band member, guitarist Antoine Bouchet, to complete the line-up and prepare for live shows.
« Théogyne » was released on March 1st 2012. A few weeks later, Elyose was chosen by THERION as direct support band for the 21 gigs of their european tour in fall, on the occasion of their 25th anniversary and their new album release « Les Fleurs du Mal ». Elyose played in Paris and toured in Belgium before diving into uncharted territory.
This tour, which went across 12 european countries (and Le Bataclan in Paris), was a privilege for the band to get known in optimal conditions (lighting/sound) in front of crowds from 500 to 1300 people. It was also a golden opportunity to refine live performances and come back stronger than ever.
Thanks to the extensive experience and widespread exposure of this tour, Elyose approaches 2013 with great confidence and hopes to get back on stage shortly while the writing of the second album is also being started.
Redemption
Elyose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Elle va, divague, en escarpins
De sa hauteur elle envisage
Ses talons sur son visage
Oh tes larmes sur ma peau, si chaud
Eau salée, plaisant ruisseau
Je ne peux plus, non
M'abandonner, m'oublier, non
Moi, je suis une femme qui maudit
Moi, je suis une femme qui punit
Je ne crois qu'à la rédemption
Que tu implores, que tu déplores
Rien n'y fera, n'y compte plus
Frisson du cuir sur ton corps
De sang-timents, je suis repue
Oh mes ongles sur ta peau, si beau
Lunules sang du bourreau
Je ne veux plus, non
Je ne peux plus, non
M'abandonner, m'oublier, non
Moi, je suis une femme qui maudit
Moi, je suis une femme qui punit
Je ne crois qu'à la rédemption
Oh mes charmes sur ton dos
Scénario allegro ma non tropo
Trouble sentiment, élixir navrant
Maintenant je dois m'éloigner, le jour levant
Je ne veux plus, non
Je ne peux plus, non
M'abandonner, m'oublier, non
Moi, je suis une femme qui maudit
Moi, je suis une femme qui punit
Je ne crois qu'à la rédemption
The lyrics of "Rédemption" by Elyose tell the story of a woman who is trying to find redemption from her past mistakes. She is lost and wandering aimlessly, wearing high heels, and contemplating her actions. She imagines her heels on her own face, which symbolizes her struggle with self-blame and self-hatred. The chorus repeats "Je ne crois qu'à la rédemption," which means that she only believes in redemption as a way to move forward.
The second verse shifts to a confrontation between the woman and her partner. He begs for her forgiveness, but nothing he can do or say will change her mind. She is full of hatred and has found satisfaction in inflicting pain on him. She describes her pleasure in scratching his skin with her nails, which she calls "the executioner's blood." The verse ends with her stating that she is a woman who punishes and curses.
In the final verse, she leaves him behind, feeling both satisfied and regretful. She speaks of her charms on his back and compares their encounter to a musical allegro, which means fast-paced and lively. But she feels a sense of melancholy as she knows that she must move on and let go of the past. She repeats the chorus once more, expressing her belief that redemption is the only way to find peace and move forward.

Elyose, comment ai-je fait?
In the bustle of an endless day
She goes, wanders, in pumps
From its height she envisions
Her heels on his face
Oh your tears on my skin, so hot
Salt water, pleasant stream
I do not want anymore, no
I can not, no
To forsake me, to forget me, not to
Me, I am a woman who curses
Me, I am a woman who punishes
I only believe in redemption
That you implore, that you deplore
Nothing will do, no longer count
Thrill of leather on your body
Of blood, I am satisfied
Oh my nails on your skin, so beautiful
Lunges blood of the executioner
I do not want anymore, no
I can not, no
To forsake me, to forget me, not to
Me, I am a woman who curses
Me, I am a woman who punishes
I only believe in redemption
Oh my charms on your back
A happy scene, but not too much (for some reason, this part felt like Italian to me)
I feel troubled, wicked elixir
Now I must go away, on the rising day
I do not want anymore, no
I can not, no
To forsake me, to forget me, not to
I am a woman who curses
I am a woman who punishes
I only believe in redemption

Lyrics in Russian
В суете бесконечного дня
Она идет, бредёт на каблуках
С высоты она присматривается..
Ее каблуки уже на лице..
-"О.. твои слезы на моей коже, так жарко
Соленая вода, приятный поток…"
-"Я больше не хочу, нет!
Я не могу, нет!
Откажись от меня, забудь обо мне, нет!"
-"Я!, я женщина, которая оскорбляет!
Я!, я женщина, которая наказывает
Я верю лишь в искупление.."
-"Что вы умоляете, что вы сожалеете?
Ничего больше не будет…не будет считаться
Дрожащая кожа на твоём теле..
Весь дом в крови, я довольна..
О.. мои ногти на твоей коже, так красиво
Кровавые удары палача…"
-"Я больше не хочу, нет!
Я не могу, нет!
Откажись от меня, забудь обо мне, нет!"
-"Я!, я женщина, которая оскорбляет!
Я!, я женщина, которая наказывает
Я верю лишь в искупление..
О.. мои царапины на твоей спине
Весёлая сцена, но слишком короткая..
Тревожное чувство, душераздирающий эликсир
Теперь я должна уйти, в восходящий день"
-"Я больше не хочу, нет!
Я не могу, нет!
Откажись от меня, забудь обо мне, нет!"
-"Я!, я женщина, которая оскорбляет!
Я!, я женщина, которая наказывает
Я верю лишь в искупление.."

I did a bit of translation for other "French-impaired" viewers in a few other posts. I' posting it here too so you get notified of its existence.
REDEMPTION :
In the sultry of an endless day
She goes, maunder, in pumps
Of her heights she contemplates
Her stiletto on his face
Oh your tears on my skin, so hot
Salty water, pleasant stream
I no more want, no
I no more can, no
Renounce myself, forget myself, no
Me, I'm a woman that damn
Me, I'm a woman that punish
I believe only in redemption
That you beseech, that you bemoan
Naught will do, despair of it
Leather's shiver on your body
Of [Feelings]1, I'm satiated
Oh my nails on your skin, so beautiful
Lunulae blood of the executioner
[chorus]
Oh my charms on your back
[Cheerful scenario but not too much]2
Upset feeling, harrowing elixir
Now I must get away, the rising day
[chorus]
1 "Sang-Timents"; Phonetically translated to "Feelings", but written as "Sang" (Blood) and "timents" from the latin "Timeo" which could translate to "To choke". So the verse could also be read like : "I'm fed up to choke in blood". You decide!
2 "Scénario allegro ma non tropo" ; written as "Scenario" in french followed by "allegro ma non tropo" which is apparently Italian for "Cheerful but not too much". The end result is myself trying to make a readable sentence out of it, changing the order of the words.
