Finnish Dj (Drum & Bass)
2006-present
ELYSION was founded in 2006 by guitarist Johnny Zero & by singer Maxi Nil who, by welcoming on board talented musicians of different backgrounds, soon shaped up a highly promising team, with music approach consisting of many shades of atmospheric and metal elements mixed 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 critics in webzines and magazines, complimenting utmost on the exceptionally professional sound witch gladly 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, among 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 front woman. Then they entered the studio for the recordings of debut album, which, achieving to be 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 Sound Studios, thereby gaining and important advantage of very high -standards production. The cover of the album is created by Natalie Shau (Lacuna Coil, Poison Black, The Duskfall). The artwork and the photographs of the booklet is a creation of Seth Siro Anton (Moonspell, Paradise Lost, Exodus, Soilwork, Septic Flesh). In current time, ELYSION in terms of promoting debut album “Silent Scr3am” which is to be released in fall 2009, are touring Greece and making the final arrangements for their European and American tour.

Where the fairytale lied, you would have it your way
I would always have wished, as I stood in the mist
To undo the spell I was under
Years went by and the story goes on
I'm here wondering why I did everything wrong
Always hoping that I find the wings and do fly
And be no more the prey but the hunter
Still I'm close to understanding
I still breathe
But you're killing me, I believe
That I need a reason to live
I can no longer hide in my dreams
Gotta still breathe
Tables have turned, as I'm drifting away
Now the lesson is learned I can no longer stay
I am finally freed from your hurting and greed
I see oceans of joy and laughter
Turning my head for the very last time
In a distance you stand as I leave you behind
As our fairytale ends, hear my very last words
That I'll happily live ever after
All seems like the perfect ending
Still I'm close to understanding
I still breathe
But you're killing me, I believe
That I need a reason to live
I can no longer hide in my dreams
Gotta still breathe
No more fairytale, I'm tired of it
I am no longer brave to fight for all this
No more fairytale, I'm tired of it
I am no longer brave to fight for all we've had
I still breathe
But you're killing me, I believe
That I need a reason to live
I can no longer hide in my dreams
Gotta still breathe
The song "Fairytale" by Elysion is a story of a love that was based on a fairytale fantasy but ended up being a trap. The singer begins by painting a picture of a faraway land filled with fairytale charm, where the singer thought they could have it their way. However, as time went by, the spell they were under proved to be suffocating, and they realized they were the prey instead of the hunter. The singer understands that they need a reason to live and can no longer stay in this fantasy where they are being killed.
In the second half of the song, the singer frees themselves by leaving their love behind, emphasizing the phrase "No more fairytale, I'm tired of it" twice to emphasize their point. They are no longer brave enough to fight for what they had, and they need to breathe again. The singer has learned their lesson and is ready to move on to a world filled with oceans of joy and laughter, happily ever after. However, they are still searching for that concrete reason to live and not just hide in their dreams.
