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.

The Promise
Elysion Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't leave me be
Don't kill my thrill
I've been waiting for you
Don't leave me be
Don't kill my thrill
I'm forever lovin' you

Should the sun not dawn again
I will burn the sky
Should this world come to an end
I will make it right
Should the stars all lose their shine
I will light up mine
Should your angel drop his wings
I will help you fly
I'll reach for you

Don't leave me be
Don't kill my thrill
I've been waiting for you
Don't leave me be
Don't kill my thrill
I'm forever lovin' you

Don't leave me
I'll be there,
I'm forever lovin' you

Don't leave me

I'll be there,
Forever

Overall Meaning

The Promise by Elysion appears to be a love song dedicated to a beloved. The lyrics of the song describe the singer's loyalty and commitment to their loved one in the face of any circumstances. In the beginning of the song, the singer sets up a series of hypothetical questions, detailing potential catastrophic events such as the sun not rising, the world ending, and stars losing their shine. Despite all these events, the singer vows to remain by the side of their beloved, demonstrating a strong sense of commitment in the face of adversity. The lyrics create a sense of permanence as the singer pledges to be with their beloved forever.

The chorus of "Don't leave me be, don't kill my thrill, I've been waiting for you" seems to emphasize the intensity of the singer's emotions towards their beloved. The repetition in the lyrics drives home how much the singer needs and values their loved one. The bridge of the song, "Should the sun not dawn again, I will burn the sky, Should this world come to an end, I will make it right" delivers the message that the singer is willing to go to any extremes to protect and care for their beloved. The chorus is repeated twice more towards the end, leaving the listener with the impression of unyielding loyalty and devotion.

Line by Line Meaning

Should the sun not dawn again
If there is eternal darkness, I will burn the sky myself to bring back light

Should the birds not fly
If the world around us becomes silent and still, I will do all I can to bring life back

Should this world come to an end and all left's you and I
If everything else disintegrates into nothingness, we will still remain together

Should the stars all lose their shine
If the world loses its mystery and beauty, I will light up my own star to find wonder

Should the oceans dry
If the water around us disappears, I will do all I can to find or create new oceans

Should the angels drop their wings, fall to earth and die
If all hope is gone and the divine cannot help us, I will try my best to be your angel instead

I'll reach for you
I will always be there to support and comfort you

Don't leave me be
Please do not abandon me when I need you the most

Don't kill my thrill
Don't let anything take away the joy and passion that we share

I've been waiting for you
I have longed for you to be by my side and share my journey

I will make it right
If something goes wrong, I will do all I can to fix it

Should your angel drop his wings
If you feel lost and hopeless, I will be there to guide and lift you up

I'm forever lovin' you
My love for you will never fade, no matter what happens

I'll be there
I will never abandon you, and always be there when you need me

Forever
My love and commitment to you will last for all eternity
