Their debut album "Vanity" was released in 2006. The album was released via the band's website, where fans could download it for free.
In 2007, the vocalists Angela and Anna both left the band, Angela because she was no longer interested in metal, and Anna to study with the famous singer Joanna Borowska in Austria (although Anna was technically on hiatus). A soprano singer named Jaana was introduced, but the band announced that "We have a single live show before Anna leaves and we haven't yet decided how we want to deal with live gigs while Anna isn't available. New material is in the works and we will be releasing it one song at the time to cut the wait a bit shorter and to make it possible for us to work while Anna is abroad for most of the year."
No new material has been released, and the band's website is now defunct, so it can safely be presumed that the band has broken up.

Evilion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something cold on my throat
Who's giving me these signs
Someone poisoned my wine
Don't you know how much I'm breaking
I'm not the only one mistaking
When I think that everything's alright
My fence just a one big gate
Without the bars to hold the spate
For how long can I bear this weight
Until it falls down again
Going 'round
Can't slow down the rate
There's no way to keep this all concealed
My hands are bound
They won't hesitate
And I can't fight this feeling
There's no sense
In this mindless pretence
Tell me how could I start to live again
Where is the grin
Feels like I'm only existing
Tell me how could I start to live again
Melt my black ice
And there won't be no lies
Melt me, don't break me
The shards can be fatal
Who's giving me these signs
Someone poisoned my wine
Don't you know how much I'm breaking
I'm not the only one mistaking
When I think that everything's alright
I slip again
Weakness grows inside my wall
Been waiting for the final call
I can't bear this weight no more
It's getting too cold
If you let me go I'll fall
I'm about to lose control
Wake me up before the play
Don't let me flow away
Sinking into an empty sea
I lay me down to sleep
No one to pray my soul to keep
This time I've gone too deep
Heal me
Don't leave me
Believe me once more
Strange links surround me
Cradles and coffins
I feel the growing heat
Wake me up before the play
Don't let me flow away
Violent awakening
My black ice is breaking
The wind blows the grains of sand
Direction of the eyes
Revealing the whole device
The truth was inside the black ice
That you crushed under your hand
The lyrics of Evilion's song Black Ice describe the feeling of being trapped and suffocated by one's own thoughts and emotions. The singer is experiencing a sense of paranoia and fear, as if someone has poisoned their wine, making them unable to trust anyone around them. This sense of mistrust extends to their own mind, as they confess to being mistaken and unable to determine what is real and what isn't. The chorus describes the singer's desperation to break free of this mental prison, asking for someone to melt their "black ice," or their fears and doubts, so they can start living again.
The second verse explores the singer's sense of powerlessness, describing their fears as a "big gate" without bars to hold back the flood. The singer feels like they're constantly spinning out of control, unable to conceal their emotions and thoughts from those around them. The bridge adds to the sense of desperation, as the singer pleads with someone to wake them up and prevent them from sinking too deep. The final lines of the song suggest a moment of clarity, where the singer finally confronts the source of their fear and shatters it, revealing the truth hidden beneath the surface.
Overall, the lyrics of Black Ice are a powerful exploration of mental health and the struggle to maintain control over one's own thoughts and emotions. The song encourages listeners to confront their own fears and doubts, and to seek help and support when feeling trapped or overwhelmed.
Line by Line Meaning
Shivers down my spine
A feeling of fear or anxiety running down my back
Something cold on my throat
A chilling sensation on my neck
Who's giving me these signs
Who or what is making me feel this way
Someone poisoned my wine
Someone intentionally harmed me
Don't you know how much I'm breaking
Do you not see the extent of my emotional turmoil
I'm not the only one mistaking
I am not the only one who is confused or wrong
When I think that everything's alright
When I believe that life is good
I slip again
I fall back into darkness
My fence just a one big gate
My protection is insufficient
Without the bars to hold the spate
Without the barriers to stop the flood
For how long can I bear this weight
How much more can I handle before breaking
Until it falls down again
Until everything crumbles again
Going 'round
Going in circles
Can't slow down the rate
Can't stop the momentum of my life
There's no way to keep this all concealed
I cannot hide my struggles from the world
My hands are bound
I am powerless to change my situation
They won't hesitate
They will not stop or wait for me
And I can't fight this feeling
And I am unable to resist my emotions
There's no sense
There is no logic or reason
In this mindless pretence
In this meaningless façade
Tell me how could I start to live again
Please show me how I can find hope again
Where is the grin
Where is my joy
Feels like I'm only existing
I feel like I'm just surviving, not living
Melt my black ice
Remove the cold and hard exterior around my heart
And there won't be no lies
And there will be no more deception
Melt me, don't break me
Help me without causing me harm
The shards can be fatal
The broken pieces can cause great harm
Weakness grows inside my wall
My walls of strength are weakening
Been waiting for the final call
I have been waiting for the end of my struggles
I can't bear this weight no more
I cannot handle this burden anymore
It's getting too cold
It's becoming too difficult to keep going
If you let me go I'll fall
If you do not support me, I will fail
I'm about to lose control
I am on the brink of giving up
Wake me up before the play
Wake me up before it's too late
Don't let me flow away
Don't let me lose myself
Sinking into an empty sea
Drowning in a lonely and dark place
I lay me down to sleep
I give up and collapse
No one to pray my soul to keep
No one to help me find peace
This time I've gone too deep
This time, I am too far gone
Heal me
Help me find healing and peace
Don't leave me
Stay with me, don't abandon me
Believe me once more
Trust me again
Strange links surround me
Mysterious connections are all around me
Cradles and coffins
Symbols of life and death
I feel the growing heat
I sense the increasing pressure and intensity
Violent awakening
A sudden and intense realization
My black ice is breaking
My emotional barriers are being removed
The wind blows the grains of sand
The force of change is sweeping through
Direction of the eyes
Where someone is looking
Revealing the whole device
Showing the entire plan
The truth was inside the black ice
The real cause of my struggles was kept hidden
That you crushed under your hand
You inadvertently exposed the truth

Thanks for sharing. This band and album have almost become lost media at this point.
